Customer Story
Ben Porat Yosef
A small finance office transforms outdated systems and delights parents.
Shoshi Ryp is not only the Director of Finance at Ben Porat Yosef, she’s also the proud mom of three students there.
Prior to 2013, the Finance office did virtually everything in Microsoft Excel. That meant multiple versions of lists that could change at any moment. They used a software product for billing collection, but it didn’t integrate with admissions or enrollment. Much time was spent fielding calls from parents with billing questions. Other problems arose due to human error.
When the department lost a team member, that left only Shoshi, so her workload doubled. Enter TADS (now a product of Community Brands). The school said good-bye to Excel files and Soshi was able to keep the office running at full speed, saying, “I don’t know how I would have gotten through that time without TADS.”

“TADS really is an extension of our team here at BPY. The flexibility in the system is just unparalleled. It’s made things smoother, easier, more practical. It’s better for the parents. It’s really changed the way we work here.”
Saved time
Nine out of 10 payment errors that would previously have required a personal interaction can now be resolved by TADS. Shoshi has more time for meaningful interactions with families.
Streamlined processes
TADS let the school follow a family’s journey from application through billing, and everything that happens during the year. All departments have access to the same, real-time information.
Satisfied parents
One of the best things about Community Brands, Shoshi says, is the positive reception from families. Parents appreciate the payment flexibility and easy access to their information.
“Multiple parents have thanked me for switching to TADS and have told me how the process is so much better and smoother.”
