Vanco Acquires Child Care Software Firm Smartcare
Vanco, a leading provider of technology and payment solutions for the education, faith-based and nonprofit sectors, has acquired Smartcare, a growing provider of software for child care centers.
Founded in 1998, Vanco helps more than 40,000 churches, faith-based groups, nonprofits, schools and educational organizations to simplify administrative processes, organize events and securely manage participant relationships.
Smartcare was established in 2014 by a team dedicated to solving the challenges facing managers and owners of child care centers every day — from tracking attendance and accounts receivable to communicating securely and effectively with parents. Smartcare filled a gap in the industry by building a native cloud platform to offer modern software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology that is now used by more than 2,000 child care centers, from single locations to national operations.
