Inside the Astrid platform
Advanced staff permissions
Admin users can create new staff members, invite them by email, and assign the various user rights that are appropriate to them depending on their role within the organisation.
The permissions that a user is assigned determines what sections they are able to see, and the level of functionality available to them.
Once staff are added to the platform, automated emails are sent to get them set up and ready to go.
Encrypted file upload with an audit trail
Astrid provides a range of template files in an easy to use document repository, allowing their clients to easily complete the various tasks required to achieve GDPR compliance.
Once the user has completed a template document with their own data and processes, it can be uploaded to the system as an auditable record. The user simply selects the file, the nature of the document and the date it was signed.
Once the document is uploaded, we've configured their back-end to securely encrypt the file to provide an extra layer of protection.
Resources area
Astrid staff can add new resources and materials to their resources area for their clients to find and use. Resources include posts about GDPR including in-depth templates guiding the user through their journey towards GDPR compliance.
The system supports a range of different file formats, including PDF and docx files, and the resources area is easily accessible on mobile, tablet and desktop devices.
Recurring payment and billing management
Astrid is a Software as a Service product (SaaS) with a business model that relies on taking monthly recurring payments from their clients. Clients get access to the service each month that they remain a paying customer.
As a result, managing payments in-app had to be very easy. The payment and billing area allows clients to add their payment method, showing a friendly interface that copies how their credit or debit card might look. They can add multiple payment methods, and easily upgrade or downgrade between the various packages available.
Higher packages entitle the company to additional entitlements, such as access to further content or allowing more staff members access to the platform.
In-app training and progress management
Each training chapter includes step-by-step guides, assessments and tasks.
As the company goes through the Astrid process, their answers are recorded and their progress tracked. The chapters of training become unlocked as users within the organisation complete the previous sections.
This approach gamifies the process, encouraging users to aim for 100% completion.

What Our Clients Say
Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.

Lance ChorltonGapped OnlineWe're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.
Daniel GreenSensTrainI'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!
Ruben CarrollMosaic MasterpiecesThe new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.
James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
