Finance & Procurement

Empowered Decision-Making for Finance and Procurement Professionals

As a procurement and budgeting expert in education, your focus is on ensuring every dollar spent supports student success and operational efficiency. Managing budgets, evaluating EdTech ROI, and aligning investments with measurable outcomes can be complex in today’s digital learning landscape.

Lightspeed Systems provides the tools you need to maximise budget efficiency, evaluate resource impact, and make data-driven purchasing decisions that benefit your entire school or organisation.

"Lightspeed Insight provides us with the chance to see what is really being used and how it is being used. Instead of continuing to renew contracts we have had in place for years, we are looking at our usage and determining if teachers are using the programs we are paying for—saving us money as well as improving the teaching and learning experiences for our students and teachers."
Sharon Shewbridge
Director of Instructional Technology, Virginia Beach City Public School
