About SchoolBench Software beyond the obvious History Established in 2013, Parashift began providing custom software projects to state and federal government, business as well as the not for profits sectors. Projects were designed to meet the specific needs of customers in digital assets, documents and records management. In 2018, with the market aligning to more Software as a Service (SaaS) model, Parashift, as our name suggests, embarked on a paradigm shift to solve a yet to be discovered problem with an elegant and innovative solution. Meeting several potential candidates, we settled on a challenge in schools managing their student photo communications. A manually intensive undertaking for schools with large and unorganised collections and an ever-growing need to manage strict privacy consents. Working with several local schools, Parashift developed SchoolBench, a highly integrable, AI-based on-premise solution that automates the management of photos and videos. The name of SchoolBench was inspired in an early meeting where we witnessed a method of managing images, where several hundred photos were spread across a large bench top. From those early days, SchoolBench is now used in hundreds of schools across Australia and New Zealand and continues to grow.
