How EdShed is making its learning tools easier for schools to discover and access
EdShed provides digital tools and resources that support the development of foundational skills, including spelling, phonics, literacy and maths.
As EdShed looked to make its platform more accessible to schools across Africa, there were two important parts to the challenge: helping more schools discover what EdShed offers and making it straightforward for users to access the platform once they did.
Making discovery and access simpler
For an EdTech company reaching new education customers, being available is only part of the equation. Schools need to be able to find the right tools, and educators and learners need a straightforward way to access them.
EdShed worked with us to address both.
By integrating EdShed with Snapplify SSO, users at connected schools can access EdShed using their existing Snapplify identity. This reduces the need for another separate login and creates a simpler route from the education environment they already use into EdShed.
At the same time, EdShed is available through the Snapplify Apps Gallery, making the platform easier for schools to discover and access alongside other digital education tools.
Connecting EdShed with an established education ecosystem
The value for EdShed goes beyond the technical integration.
Our experience working with schools and education customers across Africa provides EdShed with a route into an established education ecosystem. The Apps Gallery helps make EdShed visible within that environment, while SSO makes it easier for existing users to move from discovery to access.
Together, these capabilities give EdShed a practical way to connect its platform with schools without introducing unnecessary complexity into the user experience.
A simpler route to education customers
EdShed’s integration demonstrates what Snapplify Access can enable for other EdTech companies.
Reaching schools isn’t only about having the right product. Your product needs to be discoverable within the education environments you’re trying to reach, and accessing it needs to be simple for the people who use it.
Snapplify Access helps bridge that gap. We connect EdTech products with our education ecosystem, make them discoverable through the Apps Gallery and simplify access through SSO using existing identities.
For EdTech companies looking to reach more education customers, that means a simpler route from discovery to access, without having to build a separate access experience for every school you want to serve.

The integration connects Ed-admin with Snapplify Engage, allowing relevant student, staff, role and class information to be synchronised between the platforms. This information can be used to create and keep users and groups aligned in Engage, rather than requiring school administrators to recreate them manually.
