Founder Story
Xap™ was established by a team of entrepreneurs working with best UI/UX & Backend developers to create a revolution in childcare management. Based in Melbourne, we’re proud to deliver a complete childcare management software solution for childcare centres, OSHCs and Kindergarten’s right across Australia.
About 15 years ago, Piyush Kotadiya and Ruchir Parekh started a web design agency called 23 Digital. Their focus was on big, corporate clients, but on the side, they wanted to create something innovative for the education industry.
When Ruchir had his first child attend childcare, he often had to fill-out lengthy paper forms and hardly ever received updates about his child. During pickup time, he had to read about his child’s day on the board and would often forget.
That is where the Xap’s idea was born. Both Ruchir & Piyush started industry research and couldn’t believe that the industry was still dominated by desktop-based software and industry was still largely operated on paper.
Xap was designed as an alternative to the oversized, expensive desktop-based software. It gave small business owners who lacked the high-end tools and resources of their larger competitors access to technology that empowered them and helped them grow.
Piyush and Ruchir loved serving busy childcare directors & educators, because understanding small businesses is in their DNA.
While the new company started as a cloud based childcare management tool, our customers repeatedly asked us to spread our magic to other channels like in-built business intelligence, AI driven promotional & marketing tool. They taught us that Xap’s brand promise is to help childcare businesses “look pro and grow,” no matter the channel.
Culture
Xap works to create a company culture that sustains a creative, humble, and independent workforce and encourages a healthy work-life balance. Our employees have opportunities to help childcare businesses grow, engage families and educators share their work.
We believe what makes us different makes us stronger. Building a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable organisation is good for our teams, our customers, and our community. We empower each other to bring unique perspectives and experiences to work, and we continually seek new ways to do so.
Helping to Take the Stress Out of Child Care
At Xap, we believe the Australian Community deserves to have stress-free childcare centres. That’s why we focus on facilitating LDCs, OSHCs, Kindergarten & preschools with the latest features to help childcare centres efficiently manage their services while ensuring ease of use.
There’s also nothing to install, and no data files to maintain – our childcare management software is an easy-to-use online solution that’s packed with over 100 useful features.
Continual Development and Improvement
The development of Xap is driven by continual research to evaluate the needs and requirements of the child care industry. Business-driven, reliable and highly scalable, our software follows all the latest specifications from the Federal Government for the CCSS.
