Foundation welcomes RevTrak as new partner
Jan 2009 - The Texas Community Education Foundation is pleased to announce its newest partner - RevTrak.
RevTrak is the premier provider of ecommerce solutions for schools and local governments. As a Visa and MasterCard Independent Sales Organization, the company’s mission is to meet the specific needs of K-12 schools and local governments. RevTrak produces a turnkey ecommerce solution providing organizations with shopping cart websites, ecommerce hosting, payment gateways, and merchant accounts.
Karen House, the Texas Representative for RevTrak, explained the company's fund-based accounting.
"Every transaction carries codes that align with government accounting systems," she explained. "This allows us to do things other companies can't. For example, with RevTrak, every department in a school can take online payments without having to have a separate merchant account. We’ve found providing students and customers more payment flexibility provides better class utilization and cash flow."
RevTrak's product interfaces with many software companies, including other online registration systems. They are introducing a new free online registration package. It will feature class lists, email receipts, demographic feedback, and the ability to account for non-credit card payments. The company also is working on plans to add software that handles summer school and athletic sports camps.
"If you don't have a registration system set up for your program, this is the one to use to get you started," House said. "RevTrak has a great relationships with several community education projects in Texas. We feel it is so important to give back to the group, and we are thankful for their support."
RevTrak is the fifth Partner for the Foundation, according to Phil Houseal, Foundation President. Others are LUMENS, Collette Vacations, Planet Kidz, and Computer Tots.
"Our Partners have become key supporters of the Foundation, not only with financial support, but by bringing a range of expertise and knowledge of community education," Houseal said. "We welcome RevTrak and invite community educators to take advantage of the services they offer."
The Foundation was formed in order to encourage the growth of community education in Texas. This is accomplished through the Technical Assistance Partnership, an award program set up by the Texas Community Education Association and funded by the Foundation. Since 1998, TAP has provided financial or technical support to a dozen projects. Any school is invited to apply.
