Guidebook
Campus and event app platform for higher ed
Guidebook is a branded app platform for higher education that brings orientation, admissions events, campus tours, and everyday student engagement into a single place. It addresses the problem of information scattered across email, spreadsheets, paper handouts, and disconnected tools by giving students and families one source of truth for schedules, maps, updates, and resources, with live push notifications when details change.
Core capabilities include campus maps, personalized and group schedules, session registration, self-guided tours, document and video hosting, push notifications, live polls, forms and surveys, engagement dashboards, gamification, attendance verification, and contactless check-in with badges. Registration supports branded pages, multiple ticket types, and paid or free ticketing. Networking features cover a member directory, private messaging, 1:1 meeting scheduling, and a social feed. Sponsorship tools include listings, banner ads, QR code scanning, and appointment scheduling. The platform integrates with Slate, syncing student records in and sending engagement data back, and can export activity to Salesforce, Marketo, and other CRM systems. Accessibility is built to WCAG 2.1 AA with screen reader support.
Guidebook is aimed at admissions and enrollment teams, new student programs, and campus departments running events year-round. Apps are published to app stores under the institution's own branding. Packaging includes a department-wide license covering unlimited events, a campus app option, and self-guided campus tours; a demo is available, and a conference app edition is also offered.
