About Rycor

Rycor is a cloud-based accounting solution that enables K-12 schools to create activity eForms, collect payments and automate fee processes. Key features include real-time reporting, transaction processing, registration management and POS collection.

Rycor’s school payment module allows administrators to accept payments via credit cards, eChecks and other online methods, manage retail transactions for various events and send updates to parents on their children's education. It offers a fee management platform, which helps accounting departments automatically allocate data across general ledger accounts, track assets including books and electronic devices using student information systems (SIS) integration and create customizable reports on administrative activities. Additionally, users can create multiple digital forms related to school events using a drag-and-drop interface and receive parents’ approval via e-signatures.

Rycor integrates with various third-party applications such as Oracle, Edulog and more. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via phone, live chat and email.

    User friendly student fee management software

    Rycor allows us to offer electronic payments and other ease of use benefits for our families. It also makes discounting, pro-rating the fees, and enabling a "one stop shop" for textbooks, field trips, parking passes, athletic passes, etc all in one place. And when there's a question...the customer service is UNMATCHED! They are outstanding!

    Pros:
    The ease of use for our school users is great, but it also provides a wonderful ease of use for our parents.
    Cons:
    There are just a few tweaks I would make to it to enable even greater functionality....apply textbook assistance to everyone within a certain group and apply it to only their textbook fees and not "other" fees.

    Reasons for choosing Rycor

    Linking to PowerSchool, ease of use for users and parents, electronic transactions, etc.

    Reasons for switching to Rycor

    PowerSchool is fine on the data tracking side and scheduling, but it is not a financial system. Very antiquated and not user friendly.

    Reasons for switching to Rycor

    Was getting too expensive and the synchronization solution was getting not very secure

    We would love to have better quality reporting at the district level for managing / understanding / reporting on our schools overall. However, the Support Team at Rycor is awesome. Super friendly and responsive. The Development team is constantly working on adding new functionality that is very helpful in our business operations. All the staff at Rycor seem to care very much about their clients both personally and from a business perspective. We always feel that our concerns are heard and validated.

    Pros:
    Using online payments has significantly reduced the amount of cash payments at the school as well as decreasing the "accounting" required for school secretaries. It has allowed us to review and standardize processes throughout the schools since our head office accounting department is able to easily review the transactions at each of the schools.
    Cons:
    There are fairly frequent problems between Rycor and Moneris processing transactions. Several times a week our payment batches do not equal the Moneris batches and this requires manual manipulation by the Rycor Support team. After Support fixes the transaction everything is fine but it's frustrating how frequently the error occurs.

    Pros:
    User-Friendly - to even the most non-techy staff, very understandable and truly easy to navigate for the most prominent functions. Funtionality was well thought out....the ease of getting data is very good, fields that can sort, drill downs, reports. Rycor audit trail is impeccable...date, time and user...the most helpful tool to administrators trying to help school staff.
    Cons:
    Rycor has changed our school information flow from poor to great! There is almost nothing that is a con, but now that we've been on a few years...the first couple years had us changing GL's from the first Fees, so it would be nice to have a GL Center that can separate Active GL's from Inactive/Historical.

    Reasons for switching to Rycor

    Our old program did well for it's many many years of use, but as technology age improved, it was much more feasible to purchase a product than revise what we had.

    Pros:
    Intuitive, flexible, easy to learn and use. Makes my job much easier. Tasks that used to take hours to do can now be done in minutes. Automatic tracking of over payments. Ability to re-allocate and/or undo a payment even after batch close. Every feature I have wanted or needed over the years is already included in this software plus some I hadn't even thought of, but are very very useful!
    Cons:
    The old software was easier for entering multiple cheques from different people for the same fee. Having said that, some of the features I love may not work as well if this was possible ;o) After 2 years of using this software, there really isn't anything I don't like.
