Education operations, coordinated.

Procurement, vendor onboarding, approval routing, enrollment intake, and compliance tracking across campuses and districts.

One requisition touches five systems and a board meeting before the PO goes out.

Banner, PowerSchool, or Workday Student for the SIS. Munis or Tyler for finance. Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for the decisions, spreadsheets for grant tracking and board reports. The tools are fine. The coordination between them is where administrator time leaks.

The operating model

Every record enters once. The layer does the walking.

Today each of these systems is wired to the others by a person: re-keying, forwarding, chasing. Navon sits underneath as one coordination layer. A requisition, a vendor document, or an enrollment record enters once, routes itself, and lands in the system that owns it, with the hand-offs logged.

Your systems stay. The re-keying goes.

How the money moves

The procurement lifecycle.

Requisition to reconciliation. Five stages that today sit in five systems, owned by five people, updated by hand.

With Navon, one record carries the requisition end to end. This is where we start.

Advisory-led

What an engagement deploys in education.

An operational audit comes first. From the findings, we deploy a scoped mix built for how the district runs: routed intake, automations, and managed AI agents, each working inside an approval path.

  • Intake from email, web form, or PDF; front offices key nothing twice
  • A scoped mix of automations, routed intake, and managed agents, each with a named owner
  • Banner, PowerSchool, Munis, and Tyler stay the systems of record

Advisory engagements are live across education operations today. The platform extends here by design.

Where automation lands

Six workflows we automate first.

Identified by the teams running the work today. Each one replaces something a person is doing manually. We build them as discrete engagements, in priority order. Pick one to see it as it runs.

Procurement requisition intake

Requisitions raised by schools, departments, and program leads come in via email, web form, and PDF. Navon classifies the category, validates against the budget code, and opens the record in the finance ERP with the right cost center.

Where Navon fits

Advisory leads. Automations do the work. The platform hosts it.

For education specifically, here is what each practice line looks like.

Advisory

We start in the business office.

Time with procurement, the business office, school leaders, and compliance officers. Walk-throughs of the requisition-to-pay cycle, federal program tracking, and how board reporting actually gets built. Written findings, phased plan, sign-off before anything ships.

AI automations & agents

Intake, route, report.

Procurement requisition intake. Multi-level approval routing through school, district, and board. Vendor onboarding doc collection. Federal grant compliance flagging. Enrollment document intake. Each one scoped discretely, sequenced by what saves the most administrator time first. Where the work justifies it, managed agents carry a flow end to end, always inside an approval path with a named owner.

Platform

The layer it grows into.

As the automations compound, the platform consolidates them into one governed layer: requisitions, approvals, vendor records, enrollment documents, and compliance flags in one place with structured ownership, and Nova, the operations assistant, working inside it. It is live in construction operations today and architected to extend here. Runs in your cloud, your VPC, or fully local. Your existing systems stay.

FAQ

Education-specific questions.

The operational questions district and campus buyers ask before the first call.

Does this replace our SIS or finance ERP?

No. Banner, PowerSchool, Workday Student, Munis, and Tyler stay as systems of record for students, staff, and finance. Navon sits alongside them and removes the coordination work between procurement, vendor onboarding, approval chains, compliance tracking, and reporting that lives in email and spreadsheets today.

How do you handle FERPA and student data privacy?

FERPA boundaries are mapped during the audit phase on every engagement. Access segregation, logging, redaction, and consent workflows are designed into any deployment scope, per district, before anything touches student records.

Can the platform handle multi-campus or multi-district operations?

Yes. Cost centers, school codes, and approval authority limits are configured per location. The platform respects the hierarchy you already use. Cross-campus rollups are built specifically because most ERPs make this hard for districts and higher-ed systems.

What about federal grant rules and program compliance?

Title I, IDEA, Title IX, ESSA, and other federal program requirements are mapped during the audit phase, and flagging rules for spend touching those funds are designed into any deployment scope, with documentation requirements surfaced inline and the audit trail intact for the program officer's review.

What does the first engagement usually look like?

An operational audit. We spend time with procurement, the business office, school leaders, and the compliance officer. Walk through the requisition-to-pay cycle, vendor onboarding, federal program tracking, and enrollment intake. Written findings, phased plan, sign-off. Usually two to three weeks.

Where does our data live?

Wherever it has to. Banner, PowerSchool, Munis, and Tyler stay the systems of record where they are today. The Navon layer runs in your cloud, in your VPC, or fully local, depending on your requirements, and that is decided during the evaluation, not retrofitted later.
