We embrace the rhythm of your institution and channel it into efficient, responsive solutions that evolve with your needs, creating an environment where productivity soars, customers are satisfied, and communities flourish.
We turn potential into progress, propelling your organisation forward. It’s more than just software — it’s a transformative approach to operational excellence.
Founded in 1998 by Chris Wildsmith and Steve Ashley, Kinetic Software has proudly served the higher education sector for over 25 years.
With a fierce passion for innovation and unwavering commitment to customer success, we work with 350 institutions worldwide and continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in operations.
In 2015, Kinetic Software formed a strategic partnership with the Volaris Group. This move added long-term stability and supported our critical competitive advantage in the higher education sector, strengthening our position as a trusted global leader in delivering software that adapts to your unique needs.
Our journey of becoming an industry leader in comprehensive operational solutions has deepened our devotion to solving your problems. We’re continuing on a much larger scale with greater resources and a more profound commitment to meeting your needs.
