Platform

Every record connected. Linked where it matters, and the school in control.

Your team, your agents, your host families and the parents each do their own part on the same student, so nothing is typed twice and every action leaves its evidence behind. Each of them sees only what they need to: an agent sees a host family only when the school presents the placement for the student's family to review. Below, what each part of Harbor does, in the order a student moves through your programme. The line-by-line list is on the Features page.

Enquiries

Your website starts working for you.

An enquiry page for students, one for host families and one for agents, linked from your site with your logo on it, plus Harry answering questions on the spot. Everything it collects is already in Harbor.

Applications

Your application, not a generic one.

Your questions, your required fields, your declarations, your fee at submission. Families complete it on a phone and the answers land on the student’s record exactly as given.

Sent to the family: "The passport expires before the course ends. Please upload the renewed passport." The rest of the application stands.
Offers, agreements and invoices

Every document a family needs, made in one step.

Offer letter, agreement, invoice and receipt come from the fee schedule and the application, so a family can accept, sign, pay and lodge their visa the same week, and the student converts instead of drifting.

No login and no password for the family. The receipt follows the moment the fees arrive, ready for the visa.
Host families

Hosts do their own part.

They apply by link, update their household, log the fortnight away, accept a placement and read their pay statement, all from their phone, so your homestay manager stops being the switchboard.

Pastoral care

The check-in goes out on time.

The concern comes back to a person. Short surveys to the student, the host and the parent on the schedule you set, around your term dates. "Some concerns" opens a case with a name on it.

Host pay

No Friday spent reconstructing the fortnight.

Nights were recorded as the job was done, so the pay run is already true when you open it. One review, one bank file, one statement per family.

Agents

Your agents work inside Harbor, not in your inbox.

They submit and track applications, download offers and invoices, and sign your agreement online. You see every one of them, their contract, their references and what they are owed.
