schoolOS vs Incident IQ

Incident IQ organizes tickets with rules you set up and maintain. schoolOS resolves routine requests on its own, alongside the systems you already run.

Before the call, we crawl your district's public website, so the demo runs on your district's real questions.

How the two compare

Incident IQ is a mature K-12 help desk with a large install base and deep device workflows. The difference: schoolOS resolves requests instead of routing them, and doesn't ask your team to configure and maintain the system.

Why districts switch

01

Resolution, not triage

Help desk AI classifies and routes tickets. schoolAgent answers the request and closes the loop before a person touches it.

02

One front door for staff and families

Help desks center on staff and IT. schoolOS answers parents and families too, in the channels they already use.

03

No setup tax

No rules to duplicate for every team and campus, no provisioning to maintain. schoolOS learns your district instead of asking you to configure it.

No rip and replace. No lock-in.

Step 1

Keep what works

schoolOS connects to your SIS, MDM, and current help desk on day one. Nothing gets turned off.

Step 2

Add schoolAgent

It starts answering from your district's public website within about a week.

Step 3

Decide on your timeline

Move ticketing and assets to schoolOS when the value is proven, or don't.

Simple per-student pricing.

One line item. No tiers, no add-ons, no implementation charges.

Common questions

Is schoolOS a replacement for Incident IQ?

Not on day one. schoolOS works alongside your current stack, including Incident IQ. Many districts start with schoolAgent answering routine questions in front of their existing help desk, then decide later whether to move ticketing and assets over.

What is the difference between schoolOS and Incident IQ?

Incident IQ is a K-12 help desk and asset management system that organizes requests into tickets. schoolOS resolves routine work before it becomes a ticket and automates the coordination that follows when one is needed.

How is schoolOS's AI different from Incident IQ's?

Incident IQ's AI classifies and routes: it ties emails to assets and sends tickets to the right queue. schoolOS resolves: schoolAgent answers the request, and schoolAutomate does the follow-on work across your systems.

Can schoolOS import our ticket and asset history?

Yes. Historical tickets and asset records can be imported if you move ticketing or asset management to schoolOS. Until then, schoolOS reads from and writes to your existing systems.

How long does it take to get started?

About a week. schoolAgent starts by crawling your district's public website. Integrations with your SIS, MDM, and help desk follow. There is no implementation project and no implementation charge.

What does schoolOS cost?

Per-student pricing with no implementation charges. One line item covers the platform. Book a demo and we will give you your district's exact number.
