Clear answers.

Understand how FretBox fits your university’s rules, systems and teams.

Share the university evaluation brief
Can our university define its own rules?

Yes. Your university defines booking windows, eligible rooms, approval workflows and role-based access around its operations.

Explore controlled room booking
Who follows up when a complaint is overdue?

Complaints are assigned to the responsible team, with progress, response times and escalation available for follow-up. Your institution agrees the ownership and escalation process, while students can see updates to their requests.

See complaints and maintenance
Who can access our university’s data?

Your university controls role-based access, so users work with the records relevant to their responsibilities. FretBox staff have no access to your university’s data. Encryption, backups and a full audit trail protect the records your teams rely on.

Review security and privacy
How will our teams be trained and supported?

Implementation includes preparing campus data, configuring agreed workflows and training the people who will use them. A named campus contact, ongoing support and adoption reviews help teams settle into the operation. The rollout timeline depends on data readiness, staff availability and integration scope.

Explore implementation and support
Will FretBox work with our existing university ERP?

Yes. FretBox can integrate with your existing university ERP, connecting hostel and student-service workflows with your central records. This can include updating financial records when students pay online. Our team works with your IT and finance teams to agree the systems, data and integration scope.
