Edlio, LLC., a leading provider of community engagement solutions for K-12 schools and districts, is pleased to announce the acquisition of OSMS, a prominent provider of online payments and school receipting for the K-12 market.
Edlio was founded in 2011 to provide K-12 education communities with the best communication tools possible. Their content management system (CMS) is rich with features that power unique website designs for schools and districts. Considered one of The Tech Tribune’s best tech startups in LA, Edlio has made it their mission to help administrators, teachers, and staff increase engagement and communication between school and home.
OSMS specializes in cloud-based solutions for receipting school funds from parents and students online or in person. A PCI Standard certified solution, OSMS specializes in School Activity Funds, Internal Funds, and Associated Student Body (ASB) Funds.
The acquisition of OSMS will further enhance Edlio’s offering in the K-12 digital ecosystem. Additionally, the OSMS acquisition enables Edlio to address the fast growing demand for online payments and student receipting within the K-12 market. The initial offering from Edlio will be one of OSMS’s tools: Online School Payments (OSP).
Online School Payments (OSP) is a fully integrated online school activity and cafeteria funds payment solution. OSP allows parents, students, and guardians to pay online using a credit card or e-check using a web browser from any location, 24 hours a day.
Commenting on the acquisition, Ali Arsan, CEO of Edlio said, “We are pleased to have reached this agreement as OSMS offers us a significant opportunity to leverage their cloud-based intellectual property of online payments and school receipting within the K-12 market, and their highly skilled team in this space.
