Pebble

Pebble develops software for the education sector, focused on how schools collect and record money. Its products synchronise financial information between bookkeeping, online payments, catering and finance systems, which cuts down on repeated data entry.

What Pebble offers

• Tali bookkeeping — an online platform to track income and spending, prepare for an audit and build reports.
• Income management — tools for the voluntary, discretionary and catering payments schools receive.
• Point of sale — an iPad system for office or dinner hall sales and meal recording.
• Payments — card and contactless options that reduce the cash handled at the till.
• Reporting — balance reports and pupil statements.

Who it works with

The tools are made for schools, multi-academy trusts, higher education and local authorities. A separate version of Tali serves parent-teacher associations and small charities.
