Switching software doesn't mean retyping everything.
Akada covers registration, billing and the recital for a dance studio, under rules written in the United States. What stays on your plate is everything Québec adds on top.
What you still do by hand
You translate what your families receive
Emails, portal, notices: whatever the tool doesn't say in French, you rewrite — and you do it again after every change. Here French is the language the product is written in.
Relevé 24, rebuilt every January
You go back over the year's payments family by family, in a spreadsheet, under filing-season pressure. Here it comes out of the product.
GST and QST, checked by hand
Computing the taxes, breaking them out on receipts, showing the registration numbers: that's on you. Here they're calculated, not approximated.
Your families, classes and balances: nothing to retype
Cadanse's importer knows Akada's usual column names and pre-fills the mapping, which is checked before anything is loaded. A class taught two evenings a week stays one class, with both of its time slots.
What doesn't change by coming here
Four things depend neither on the plan you pick nor on the year: they come from the way Cadanse is built.
Your data stays in Canada
The app and its database run in the Montréal region. It isn't a box to tick or a plan to pay for: there is nowhere else they could be.
Relevé 24 and the taxes that apply here
Childcare-expense receipts come out of the product, with the year's total per family. GST and QST are computed, not approximated.
French isn't a translation here
It's the language the product is written in; English and Spanish are derived from it. Your families don't read an approximate version of the interface.
The price doesn't rise with your students
There is no student count anywhere in our billing. Going from 80 to 250 registrations doesn't change what you pay.
The handover
You don't have to retype your studio
We do the import: you send the exports from your current software, we hand back a database that's ready, with a line-by-line record of what was loaded. The schedule, the guarantee and the terms are on the offer page.
