# Best Education Finance Software - Page 8

*By [Emma Stein](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/emma-stein)*


Education Finance software products help educational institutions automate their financial management processes. Administrators and budget office officials at a range of educational institutions, from K-12 schools to colleges and universities, use these tools to keep track of crucial financial information and streamline processes like budgeting and purchasing. Education Finance software integrates financial data across the institution’s departments, helping to eliminate data silos. For employees in finance departments at schools and universities, these tools automate many of their daily responsibilities, including generating billing statements, accepting fee payments, running customized financial reports, and maintaining compliance with laws and regulations.

Finance and accounting systems designed for education offer functionality that is similar to the features in general-use [accounting software products](https://www.g2.com/categories/accounting) but are customized to meet the specific needs of schools and universities. This includes specialized functions like tracking payments of student fees, managing grant funding, and integrating with [financial aid management software](https://www.g2.com/categories/financial-aid-management). Education Finance systems sometimes integrate with [Student Information Systems](https://www.g2.com/categories/student-information-systems-sis) and Education HR software as part of a larger Education ERP suite. While some tools are designed specifically for either the K-12 education market or higher education, others can be used by institutions at any level.

To qualify for inclusion in the Education Finance software category, a product must:

- Be specifically designed to manage the finances of educational institutions
- Manage accounting functions, including the organization’s general ledger
- Automate billing and payments
- Contain budgeting tools for financial planning and tracking spending
- Generate financial reports

### Attendee Tracking

Crowd Connected is an attendee tracking solution aimed at conferences or conventions. Designed to be easy to deploy, it tracks session attendance without any need for active scanning or contact with attendees. - No need for badge scanning staff or expensive equipment. - Organizers can access the attendance data in real time, ready to share with stakeholders as required. - Attendees enjoy a better event experience with no friction or waiting in line. Hardware components The solution consists of a cloud-based console and hardware deployment consisting of battery powered beacons, a plug-in gateway requiring just ethernet and power points, plus wearable BLE tags. Each software license typically includes as many beacons as required for the deployment. It is costed out on a per tag basis. One gateway is typically required per floor being tracked. The gateway will be plugged in near or at the conference registration desk. Onsite considerations The solution is compatible with any registration system as it doesn't require any software integration. Instead, the tags are paired with badge data via a physical double scan - via the Crowd Connected smartphone app - at the point of registration. This typically takes 3-4 seconds per attendee and can be carried out by the badge issuing staff member. Once the attendee has registered and entered the event with their badge and tag, they are able to freely wander in and out of every session room, with no staff member required to scan their badge. Meanwhile the organizer will have almost real-time access to session attendance data for every conference session, either during or after the event.
