Agent commissions your finance team can finally trust

The problem

Agent commissions were never meant to live in spreadsheets

Finance

Everything hangs on one workbook

Commission calculations matched by hand, every intake. One client estimated a single corrupted Excel file would cost circa £666k to recover, against £8m of annual commission payments.

Contracts

Terms scattered across email

The contract says 10%. A March email says 15% for Q3. Dispute evidence lives in five inboxes.

The real issue

Generic tools do not fit how your institution runs.

Every institution has its own commission model, approval chain and systems. Templates cannot hold that.

Why custom

A system you own, shaped to how you work

For institutions whose process, data or systems do not fit a template, and should not have to.

Your process

Built around your rules. Your commission tiers, approval chain and academic calendar, exactly as they run today.

No seats, no tiers

Unlimited agents and users. No per-seat pricing, no tier upgrades. Capacity is a design decision, not a subscription line.

Your data

Hosted in your infrastructure. Your cloud, your region, your retention rules. No third party holds your financial data.

Vendor independent

You own the outcome. Code, data and hosting are yours. No lock-in, no roadmap you do not control.

Your compliance

Compliance per your region. UK GDPR by default; your jurisdiction’s requirements built into the scope, not bolted on.

Nothing gated

Nothing gated. On a product, commissions and integrations are pricing tiers. Here the only question is how it should work for you.

Three assumptions about custom builds, all outdated

"Custom means expensive"

A platform is rent: per seat, per tier, forever. A custom build is a fixed-price asset, still yours in year six. Typical go-live is between £12k and £16k for most institutions, training and documentation included.

"Custom means a long wait"

We start from a proven higher-education build, and AI-assisted development has cut build times to a fraction. You start using your customised system in 2 weeks.

"Custom means you're on your own"

The opposite: you get the builders, not a ticket queue. Dedicated priority support and staff training are included in every engagement, with full documentation and handover.

What we build

A delivered reference build, shaped to you

Every engagement starts from a working higher-education build, shaped to your process:

01 · Onboarding

Guided registration, document checks, automated reminders. Stalled agents chased by the system, not your staff.

02 · Contracts

Academic-year contracts, digital signing, variations per intake or quarter, one-click renewals.

03 · Commissions

Term splits, tiered rates, intake grouping, fees-received models. Every figure traces to a student and a rule.

04 · Reconciliation

Invoice status checked against Sage or QuickBooks automatically. Aged debtors at 30/60/90 days.

05 · Reporting

Expected against actual revenue, commission costs due, live student lifecycle by intake and partner. Scheduled reports arrive on their own.

06 · Governance

Role-based access for legal, finance, recruitment and agents. Every approval and change on an audit trail.

Your agents will actually use it

Agents get a guided portal with tickets and contract visibility, so adoption is not a fight. Every team sees the view its job needs, from one record.

FAQ

The questions a sceptical buyer asks

Why custom instead of an off-the-shelf platform?

Platforms suit some institutions well. Custom is for those whose commission model, approvals or systems do not fit a template. The honest trade-off: a scoped implementation, not a sign-up button.

How is it priced, and how fast are we live?

For most institutions, typical go-live cost is between £12k and £16k (GBP), with staff training and help documentation included. This is a guide price to start with, not a product price: Edu Tech is a custom build, so your exact figure is fixed at scope, before any work starts, with no per-agent or per-seat fees afterwards. Ongoing support, hosting, and AI-related development or integration are costed separately. You start using your customised system in 2 weeks of scope sign-off.

What does Edu Tech integrate with?

The ones you already run: Sage or QuickBooks for finance, student data from your SIS and LMS, your CRM, and Excel throughout. Anything else is scoped into the build, not replaced.

Do we own the system?

Yes. Code, data and hosting are yours; it can run in your own infrastructure, region and retention rules. Priority support, training and documentation are included in every engagement.
