School software that runs on your own server.

PMC People looks after your staff, from recruitment to leaving. PMC Visitor signs visitors, staff and contractors in and out at reception. Both run on a server you own, so staff and visitor records never sit in someone else’s cloud.

PMC Visitor's live activity page: 24 people in the building, split into staff, contractors and visitors, with a chart of the day so far and a list of everyone signed in.

Why on your own server

Most school systems keep your records on the supplier’s servers. Ours run on a server in your school, your trust or a hosting company you choose.

Your records stay with you
Staff files, pay details and visitor photos are on a server you control. Sensitive details are encrypted, and every change is in an audit log.
It keeps working when the internet doesn’t
Reception keeps signing people in over your own network. The licence checks in with us once a day, with a generous grace period if your connection drops.
Updates with one click
New versions appear in Admin > Updates. Your system checks each one was signed by us, backs up first and rolls back by itself if anything goes wrong.
Works with Microsoft 365
Staff sign in with their school Microsoft accounts, and emails go out from your own mailbox.

How buying works

Prices depend on the size of your school or organisation, so every order starts with a quote.

  1. Ask for a quote

    Tell us which products you want and roughly how many staff you have.

  2. Pay how suits you

    Send a purchase order and we’ll invoice you, or pay the quote online by card.

  3. We help you install

    An installer sets everything up on your server. We can do it with you over a call.

  4. Updates and support

    Updates come with your licence, and you can log a support request any time.
