Arbor MAT MIS is a cloud-based management information system designed specifically for multi-academy trusts (MATs). It provides a centralized platform for trust leaders and central teams to access, analyze, and manage data from all schools within the trust. The system enables trust-wide dashboards, custom and statutory reporting, HR and staff management, policy pushdown, and secure user permissioning. Arbor MAT MIS integrates seamlessly with Arbor School MIS, allowing data and actions to flow both ways, and supports remote access to individual school MIS for support and oversight. The platform is modular, with Essentials, Plus, and Enterprise editions, each adding more advanced features such as assessment dashboards, data warehousing, and business intelligence connectors. Arbor MAT MIS is designed to improve efficiency, standardize processes, and provide actionable insights for trust-wide decision-making and sustainable growth.
