The MAT Storefront: Smarter Licensing for Smarter IT Teams
In a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), the IT team is often the engine that keeps everything running — managing devices, safeguarding students, keeping networks secure, and ensuring systems stay online and compliant.
But when it comes to buying licenses, it can still feel like you’re stuck in the dark ages:
❌ Endless email chains
❌ Waiting days for licenses to be processed
❌ Confusing price lists and inflexible bundles
❌ No visibility or control
That’s why we’ve built the MAT Storefront — a smarter, faster way to procure licenses across your schools.
🛒 What is the MAT Storefront?
The MAT Storefront is your self-service procurement platform for key licenses like:
-
Microsoft 365
-
Adobe Creative Cloud
-
Security solutions
-
Cloud tools & more
With just a few clicks, IT teams can buy and provision licenses instantly, without waiting for manual intervention or going through a third-party loop.
✅ Key Benefits for Your IT Team
1. Instant License Provisioning
No more waiting. As soon as you make a purchase, licenses are automatically provisioned — so you can get staff and students up and running immediately.
2. Real-Time Visibility & Control
See exactly what’s been purchased, when, and for who. Centralised tracking means no more surprises — and total transparency across your trust.
3. Flexible Pricing That Works for You
We work with each MAT to match — or beat — your current supplier pricing. You’re not locked into generic deals; you get a tailored solution that reflects your scale.
4. No Unnecessary Add-ons
This is a storefront built for IT professionals. No upsells. No fluff. Just the licenses you need, at the best value, with the control you want.
5. Built to Scale with You
As your trust grows, the Storefront grows with you — keeping procurement simple, fast, and consistent across all schools.
🎯 Why It Matters
In a world where MAT IT teams are expected to do more with less, tools like the Storefront free up time, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. Whether you’re onboarding a new member of staff, rolling out new software, or simply tracking renewals — it’s all easier, faster, and in your control.
