key features
Easy Group Setup
With our Groups module, you can create a new choir, orchestra, or ensemble in a matter of minutes. With our pre-made fields, you can create your groups quickly and efficiently with just a few clicks.
Customise your Group Requirements Based on your Specific Needs
If you're looking to ask more specific questions for your groups, we've got you covered. When creating your group you can customise them with additional fields and questions based on your specific needs. For example, if you want to record which part of the orchestra the member is? We've got that option. Want to make the group only applicable to a certain age range? You can do that with Groups. Want to request evidence of the member's ability? You can!
Create Group, Ensemble, and Rehearsal Schedules
As part of the Groups module, you'll be able to easily create schedules and manage the activities for each group, rehearsal and performance. Tutors will also be able to see these via their Portal and even record member attendance online.
Maintain Detailed Member Records
Member records are automatically created for you when members apply online. Their details can be updated from both Xperios and directly by them through their Portal. Keep up-to-date member information such as subject, part, start date, attendance and current charge rate. You can even record and access pupil consent information and debtor details.
Easy Communications
Making and sending Emails, texts, and phone calls has never been easier! Communicate with all, some or just individuals through Xperios. You can even send Secure Messages that go through to their Portal. Want to make it even easier? You can turn on permissions for teachers so they can send secure messages too and see these in the members journal so you're always in the know!
Report on Members, Leavers, Permissions and More
Get your member reports at the touch of a button. Use the built in dashboard reports to easily gather your member information. From current members, leavers, those waiting for a place, to emergency contact details. Let Xperios do the hard work for you!

Xperios Overview
Easy Resource Management
Whatever resources your students borrow or rent from you, make managing them simple with Xperios.
Set Your Terms
Produce hire agreements to ensure everyone using the resources understand the arrangement. Users must acknowledge the terms before borrowing or renting anything from you.
Keeping Track
Always know where your stock is; what’s due for return, overdue, or up for repair. Record hires, loans, and monitor the disposal and loss of instruments. Generate reports and keep track of everything easily.
Financial Reminders
Automatic invoices and reminders are prepared by Xperios. Payments are taken through a secure system. Monies owed for both resources and tuition are consolidated into one straightforward statement.
A Streamlined Booking Process
A busy school or centre is prone to becoming buried in bookings. Our system simplifies the process.
Escape Data Entry
With Xperios you don’t need to book people onto a course, they can quickly and simply book on themselves. All you need to provide is a link to your portal. Once there, they complete all the information required and, if not on a waiting list, can make payments there too. When you log into Xperios you can monitor who’s booked on and audit the data, but you won’t need to manually enter it yourself.
Carefree Capacity Control
The Xperios portals provide two booking options: direct bookings and waiting applications. This helps to control the capacity for all of your services. You can assign statuses to bookers to help you keep tabs on their booking journey. Xperios lets bookers know as soon as their status surges on to the next stage.
Easy Online Payments
Let Xperios take secure online payments with our built-in system, or premium users can add their own merchant account to integrate with World Pay, Sage Pay, or Stripe.
Bookers can take control by updating and amending their plans within your parameters. Let payers find more suitable dates to settle their bills and offering greater or fewer instalment options. Expired cards, unsuccessful payments and debt all send automated notifications to the booker, so they can resolve the issue without your manual intervention.
Wave Goodbye to Manual Bookkeeping
Forget about manually managing your bookkeeping; receipts are automatically reconciled to parents’ accounts. Offer bite-sized payments through a scheduled plan set up in advance and let the system settle invoices and installment arrangements.
Paritor Live Portal
Offer pupils, parents, and teachers an up-to-date view of their service from a secure online location.
Different Views
Xperios offers three portals: school, teacher, and pupil view, each with tools tailored to their specific needs. From Xperios you can oversee applications to events, exams, auditions, and more that have been completed in the portals. Here’s a demo parent portal, so you can see how easy it is to use.
Instant updates
All views include scheduling and calendar layouts which update automatically when changes are made. Teachers can easily reschedule sessions by dragging a timetable item. Pupils and parents that check their timetables will see instant updates. Not sure if they’ll check their timetable? Don’t worry, they can also be automatically notified.
Access to Personal Data
There’s no need to cancel an application because the information wasn’t quite right. Or perhaps some card details for payments need updating. The Portal lets users update their information at a time that suits them with no need to contact their service.
Accountability
All portal users have full access to their Activity History, Finance History, and Message History. All actions made through the portal are logged and recorded in the history logs. This way users can oversee what changes have been made and when, and what actions need attention.
Make Complex Itineraries Simple
Avoid scheduling clashes, use our confusion-free calendar to plan classes and holidays with multiple teachers and locations.
Start with Term Dates
We construct schedules for you using your inputted term dates to prevent double bookings in your busy weekly plans. You set the dates, we stop the conflicts, making for a clean agenda.
Plan Inset Days and Bank Holidays
Our scheduling feature is designed to anticipate potential planning mishaps. Easily mark school inset days and national bank holidays to swiftly structure a calendar, if they affect your tuition service.
Adjustments to the schedule will automatically skip these days so that plans go forward without having to reschedule.
Automated Updates
Changes made to plans that go unannounced are a standard customer frustration. Prevent this dilemma by rearranging your schedule and announcing adjustments. Timetable complexities such as changes to times, dates, rooms, or teachers can be easily shared with affected teachers, students and venues. Credits are assigned automatically for the under-delivery of lessons.
Attract High Achievers
Record attendance on the app, on any device whether you’re online or offline.
No Internet, No Problem
The app works without the need for the internet, and any offline changes are synced as soon as you find an internet connection. New data downloads when the internet becomes available.
Pre Payment
With our new financial attendance feature, starting students only appear on registers once payments are settled if you choose this option in your settings.
Payers must do so upfront or reconcile a payment agreement to proceed with attending classes. Xperios stops students who don’t pay fees from slipping through the net.
Setting Standards
Set students up for a win by assigning achievable targets and working grades based on skills showcased in classes. Teachers can record lesson notes to aid in the allocation of working grades. Attendance, lesson notes, and working grades are shared through the portal to increase student engagement and provide evidence to explain results.
Keep Data Secure
We ensure that your data is stored securely to measure up to data protection regulations.
Update data easily
Personal records for teachers, students, parents, schools, and centres are categorised so you can manage the numbers as they grow. Keeping in sync with your contacts as they change is easy with Xperios. Using their portal, contacts can control their own information by logging in. Ensuring you always have correct addresses, medical information, and school records.
Master GDPR and DBS
Data defines us. Paritor treats it with the respect it deserves. Our Contacts feature uses automated compliance for data protection and GDPR. All data is anonymised and deleted within user-defined settings.
Some reminders aren’t fit for planners. Xperios lets you know when someone’s data needs a look over, ensuring that odd ends like up-to-date DBS certificates never go amiss.
Crafting Your Interactions
Build relationships with professional communications using your own design and save time by automating messages.
Clear Timeline
Communications via text or email, sent individually or to a group, Xperios keeps track of it all for you – even whether emails are opened.
Save time with technology
Save time by automatically updating teachers, schools, parents, and pupils; all changes to schedules are shared straightaway. A knowledge base of FAQs feeds an AI assistant for your customers to chat with, bypassing those all too frequent emails to you.
Putting Every Penny in Place
Feel secure about your financial future by improving payment control and reporting.
Instant Updates
Automatic invoices are generated when a student is offered a place and amendments are made based on lesson delivery. There’s no need to update manually, Xperios balances the books for you.
Simplify Payments
Teaching only starts once the payments have been arranged, preventing late or non-payments. Running after unpaid charges can leave you feeling out of breath. Xperios automatically manages monetary complications, such as expired cards and bounced payments whilst giving payers plenty of opportunities to make up missed payments.
Parents can command their own payment schedules with the freedom to interchange payment dates and vary the number of instalments (within the parameters you set). Give generous financial flexibility to payers within reasonable limits to keep them happy.
