A proud achievement to share with Éducazoo

Éducazoo is among the Salon MPA 2026 Success Stories in the Digital Transformation category. At their invitation, we will be there to discuss our work together: understanding needs, connecting workflows and making everyday decisions easier.

This project matters to us because it starts with a very concrete line of work. A successful activity requires gathering the right information, preparing a team, accounting for travel and ensuring follow-up. Technology needs to find its place in that chain, serving the people who make it happen.

First, a mission that inspires involvement

Introduce. Raise awareness. Respect.

Éducazoo introduces people to the animal world through educational encounters for families, schools and childcare settings, among others. Its mission combines awareness, respect for animals and contact within an ethical, safe framework.

This mission also mobilizes a team that prepares activities, receives requests and organizes travel. That is the reality the platform supports.

The project: connecting what makes a day work

With Éducazoo, we developed a platform bringing together the stages of an activity, from information gathered from the customer to field organization and payment tracking. The bilingual website presents the offering, questionnaires structure requests, and records gather the information the team needs to act.

To understand custom development’s contribution, let us follow a simple example: a family wants to book an activity. They provide a location, dates, a package and the number of participants. Those answers become the starting point for the team’s work.

  1. Gather the right information.
    Questionnaires adapted to the workflow collect contact details, preferences and useful specifics. The file retains the answers to prepare the rest of the booking.
  2. Assess a feasible day.
    Planning brings together schedules, vehicles, durations and travel. The team can compare scenarios and examine a request’s impact on a route.
  3. Move the booking forward.
    A time slot can be offered to the customer for confirmation. The package, add-ons, exchanges and financial follow-up remain connected to the file.
  4. Prepare for departure.
    Presenters’ availability contributes to assignments. Integration with Asana passes along useful information for field work and preparing animals and gifts.
  5. Connect invoicing and payment.
    The file brings together amounts, taxes, Clover payments and balances to track. Administration can find the information needed for financial follow-up.
  6. Keep in touch.
    Message templates, reminders and follow-up questionnaires support the journey according to rules configured by the organization.

The guiding thread: moving useful information from one stage to the next. Each connection must account for changes, field constraints and the people making the next decision.

Optimization, automation and AI: each has a role

Route preparation relies on an optimization engine that accounts for schedules, travel and activity constraints. Automated follow-ups apply the planned rules and timelines. Generative AI assists with certain texts, particularly correction and translation.

The team retains decision-making authority over proposals, work organization and the content it uses. At the booth, we will explain how these tools fit into a business workflow and discuss situations where they could help you.

People to meet, a collaboration to discover

Éducazoo brings experience in its field and with its customers. ProgExpert turns those needs into software workflows and integrations. The project moves forward through exchanges between these two areas of expertise.

Jonathan Leclerc

Our partner and Vice-President of Business Development will be on site with the Éducazoo team. Jonathan can discuss our contribution to the project and talk with you about your own needs.

Bring an example from your day-to-day work: a complicated booking, a route to organize or information your team has to enter several times. It is a good conversation starter.

Bring a question. Let us start with a concrete case.

Are you looking to connect your website to operations? To better coordinate requests, teams and follow-ups? Come discover Éducazoo’s project and speak with the people who know it.

  • How can you collect the necessary information from the initial request?
  • How can field constraints be considered in planning?
  • Which repetitive steps could be automated?
  • Where should you start to build a tool suited to your organization?

Jonathan and the Éducazoo team look forward to seeing you at booth 227, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, on Thursday, November 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
