Today’s students live in an app-driven world where nearly every aspect of life is managed through their smartphones. To keep pace with this digital-first generation, colleges and universities have invested heavily in enhancing mobile and digital services, aiming to improve campus life and the overall student experience. However, many of these efforts fall short due to fragmented solutions—leaving a gap between student expectations and the functionality of campus mobile apps.

The Problem: Too Many Apps, Too Little Engagement
Higher education institutions often adopt multiple apps to address specific needs—one for general campus information like directional maps and FAQs, and another for food services and mobile ordering. While well-intentioned, this approach can cause operational inefficiencies and a subpar user experience that leads to low adoption rates.

The result? An overwhelming experience for a student population who increasingly expect a seamless, single-app solution with single sign-on functionality.

The Solution: Integrating Mobile Ordering with Tacit’s SDK
Tacit’s Software Developer Kit (SDK) offers a simple yet powerful solution: integrate mobile ordering directly into your university’s existing campus app. This eliminates the need for students to download multiple apps while transforming your campus app from a static resource hub into a dynamic transactional tool.

This approach not only enhances convenience for students but also leverages your institution’s existing technology infrastructure. A unified, easy-to-use app increases engagement, boosts adoption rates, and provides actionable insights through consolidated data.

Why It Works
By integrating Tacit’s SDK, your institution benefits from a white-label solution tailored to your brand and operational needs. The Tacit platform is flexible enough to adapt to your specific campus environment while ensuring students enjoy a seamless, modern mobile experience.

When done right, a versatile and dependable campus app becomes a vital tool for students—supporting everything from academics to dining. The result? Improved student satisfaction, stronger engagement, and a more connected campus community.
