The Education Revenue Problem

Why Are Education Institutions Losing Millions to Outdated Billing Systems?

The average higher education institution collects only 45% of outstanding student AR — leaving tens of millions on the table each year. Manual billing workflows, siloed SIS data, and reactive collections processes drain revenue that could fund faculty, facilities, and financial aid.

Client Results

What Education Finance Teams Are Saying.

Collection rate: 43% → 79% in 6 months
We were running AR manually across Banner with spreadsheets to track follow-ups. Our collection rate was stuck at 43%. Six months after deploying Singoa, we're at 79% — and my team stopped doing manual outreach entirely. The system handles it. We just review the exceptions.
