Schools and universities find GravityKit indispensable for managing data
IT teams at institutions like Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Indiana University, and New Mexico State use GravityKit to replace enterprise systems at a fraction of the cost.
“We needed a tool for creating a user friendly directory that would allow our partners from around the world to enter their data that we could then manage / approve. Most importantly: we aren’t all that tech savvy, so we also needed an easy to work with interface.”
“GravityKit has saved me countless hours of work, provided incalculable inspiration, and made a much higher quality of product the standard for our district tools. It has given me the ability to create tools that reshape the way we operate, without being required to spend months on custom builds.”
“I can’t tell you how much I love GravityView and what it has allowed us to do. It has evolved my job and abilities in ways I couldn’t have imagined.”
“GravityView is affordable, with great customer service. The plugin is also constantly improving. I am in awe of how easy it was to create a fully functioning system at the fraction of the cost of other SIS systems (Student Information Systems) on the market.”
Once I noticed that we could do everything we were looking to do, I was sold… after we had GravityView, we realized how many situations existed where we could use it to solve problems.
GravityView allowed us to drop our custom view we made and we were able to create a dashboard where the Dual Career Partners could look at the incoming records, update them, etc… This has saved my IT group HOURS AND HOURS away from the custom job.
