Integral, Goodstart Early Learning (Goodstart), Xap Technologies collaborated to successfully replace Goodstart’s core business technology with an industry-disrupting, richly-featured platform, leading the business and end users through a dynamic and comprehensive training and change management program.  

Goodstart, with over 600 centres nationally, aimed to create a better user experience for its families and staff, and free up educators where it matters most – children’s learning and development.

Together with Goodstart, Integral and Xap have achieved Goodstart’s project vision by bringing together an all-in-one platform that is revolutionising childcare centre management software and an implementation partner who has put skin in the game to ensure a great outcome.

As an existing partner to Goodstart, Integral pivoted to match the new undertaking with the right skills, advice, and a challenger partnering model: contracting for outcomes. Integral ensured the transformation and adoption was delivered on time and within budget and scope, with iterative change management and metrics to understand, improve, and report on progress and success. 

The selection of Xap Technologies as the winning technology solution was down to several factors. It is a single platform combining the functionality, configuration, integration, automation, and usability necessary to facilitate a stress-free family and centre experience.

Goodstart staff are now better enabled, families are better able to engage, data management is consistent, and the centre experience is more streamlined and automated. Family satisfaction is high and centres have saved time that is being redirected to the children in their care, delivering further on the purpose of Goodstart Early Learning: to give Australia’s children the best possible start in life.
