Notification Live

Case study - West Herts College

Introduction

West Herts College will start using Notification Live in September 2025.

The App branded My WHCG is available on Google Play and the App Store. West Herts College consists of 2 colleges - West Herts College and Barnfield College.



The App will be used by both students and parents. West Herts College uses ProSolution for their student record system and ProMonitor for their student tracking system. They will be using the App to quickly show information from these systems.

Students will log into the App with the same credentials as the would to log onto the college network. Parents log into the App with a username and password generated by the system and emailed to the parent.

The college was able to theme the App to use their branded colours and their logo.


Customisable Menu and Pages

The menu can be altered at any point by the college - new menu items can be quickly added and appear immediately within the App.


Students and Parents will be able to quickly see the following data from ProSolution:

  • Lesson timetables within a calendar and a quick graphic with the date, time and location of their next lesson.
