About Us: KEV Software has worked with more than 3500 North American schools across 112 districts offering strategies that have been practical, easy to implement and improve internal controls. Through our experience in various roles in Education we recognized a lack of tools and resources for cash management relating to school activity funds. For over 12 years, KEV Software has been creating Student Activity Funds Systems (SAFS). Working first at the school site level, we designed the School Banking solution to streamline the workflow for School Financial Clerks. With advancing technology we recognized the need for a fully web-based solution. In 2004, we began building a new and integrated SAFS product. This led to the evolution of SchoolCash.NET. It takes more than just a great product to assist a school district in achieving the most from the technology they are using. This is why we offer the industry's most flexible range of consulting, training, technical support and customer services to help you get the highest benefit from your partnership with KEV Software.
