Risely for consortia
Make the group's buying power land on a member's desk.
Risely's agents work inside the purchasing agreement, the shared service desk and the procurement record each member already runs. They do the work a staff member would do and bring it back finished for that college's IT director or its aid counselor to approve.
The purchasing agreement
The agreement should arrive ready to use.
Risely's agents carry the rate the group negotiated onto your own paper, sized to what your systems already hold. Your IT director turns it on with the seats, the dates and the roles already right for your institution.
The shared service desk
A shared desk should know whose rules apply.
Risely's agents answer at the shared desk under the calendar and the catalog of the member the question came from. Your student gets your institution's rules back, with the name of the person she needs.
Each member's aid office
Each member's queue should stay its own.
Risely's agents work the verification queue against your own records and chase the one document each open file still needs. Your counselor spends the morning on the files where two readings disagree.
The member's own board
A president should show what the dues bought.
Risely's agents count what membership returned at your institution, reading each figure out of a system you own. You walk into the board meeting with the year on one page and the source under every line.
One member, three systems.
The purchasing agreement identifies a member by contract number. The shared desk knows the same institution by its ticket prefix. Procurement holds a third.
Risely Fabric joins them, so the group can answer a member's board without asking the member to assemble it first.
One higher education consortium ran $53.9 million across seven member institutions in fiscal 2023 while another ran $2.2 million across fourteen (IRS Form 990 filings, 2023).
