What Student Services Teams Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"Roommate conflicts were our biggest source of student welfare complaints. Matching by sleep schedule alone has reduced complaints by about 60%. Students feel their preferences were taken seriously, which matters as much as the actual match."
"The compatibility score percentage is the feature that makes this credible. When a student asks why they were paired with someone specific, I can show them the score calculation — it removes the perception of random or arbitrary matching."
"We intake 300+ dormitory students each year. Previously this was a weekend-long manual process. Now it takes 20 minutes — enter the profiles, run the matching, print the allocation, and we're done."
"The unpaired student handling is thoughtful. Odd numbers always leave someone unmatched — having that clearly flagged in the output means we know immediately who needs to be placed in a single room or added to a three-person arrangement."
