About the relationship:
Edlink co-founders Amanda Goodson and Dakota Gordon were introduced to Lightspeed Systems through a professional connection. During discussions, the Lightspeed Systems team highlighted their issues with their current process for importing parent and guardian contact information via CSV files. This particular workflow was manual and didn’t utilize Lightspeed’s other SIS integration options, making it time-consuming, prone to error, and offered limited flexibility — particularly with larger learning institutions that require frequent updates.
Recognizing the challenges of their existing CSV-based import system, Lightspeed Systems sought a more efficient way to integrate parent contact data and pave the way for future data expansion. That’s where Edlink came in to help.
By choosing Edlink as an integration partner, Lightspeed Systems gains another convenient way to connect to LMS, SIS, and IDM providers, like Infinite Campus and Skyward. Edlink’s integrations enhance Lightspeed’s existing set of integration services further and make it even easier for customers to get their data connected, regardless of their SIS platform. Plus, Edlink’s Unified API lets Lightspeed Systems pave the way to offer even more functionality, thus future-proofing Lightspeed Systems’ products while saving thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours not building integrations.
“Edlink set itself apart from other platforms with how seamless it makes the integration experience for the end-user. No new interfaces to learn, no complicated account setup process, and no roadblocks. We can provide a branded link to a client and they can get integrated in just a few moments.”
- Matthew Burg, Principal Product Manager at Lightspeed Systems
