While Reach have focused on quantity of features as a way to win over schools, we at Orah believe that simplicity wins at the end of the day. Our goal is to help schools meet and exceed their duty of care, it's our job to ensure Orah fits seamlessly into your day and enables you to focus on your most pressing issues facing you each day–with Orah as your powerful sidekick.
This is a major point to consider when evaluating these two systems. Orah's approach requires discipline around the scope of a project to make sure that the primary value of a system is not diluted with add-ons or products that look good on paper, but don't necessarily work as best as they can.
In short, if you're wanting reliable software to know where your students are, know that they're safe/healthy and facilitate seamless, real-time communication with an easy-to-use platform, you're in the right place. We created Orah, a reliable & beautifully-designed "Duty of Care" platform.
Our Orah experts are here to help you and your team safeguard your students while they are in your care.

Alternatively, many schools have opted to make Orah their system of record for school attendance.
Orah's known to be the most reliable software of the two, it's why many of our clients have made the switch. Orah boasts a 99.9% uptime.
