In September 2013, Hillsborough County Public Schools deployed Edsby to its teachers, 220,000 students and their parents. In 2015, other district-wide deployments included 3,450 staff and 34,000 students at Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. In 2016, it was adopted by 35,000 students and staff at Greater Essex County District School Board. In 2017, it deployed at York Region District School Board, a 125,000-student district.
In March 2019, the New Zealand Ministry of Education contracted with Edsby to develop a national student information-sharing exchange called Te Rito. It synchronised student information systems for 800,000 New Zealand learners, their families, and communities across the country's 2,500 schools and their discrete student management systems.
In 2024, the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth in the country of Georgia selected Edsby as the national learning management and administration platform for its 640,000 students in a program supported by the World Bank.
In 2025, Edsby introduced an AI Teacher Assistant, designed to reduce educator workload by helping with tasks such as lesson planning, rubric creation, feedback generation, and personalized student support. According to MindShare Learning Chief Learning Strategist Timothy Gard, the functionality is “poised to set a precedent for how AI can be leveraged to enhance learning while supporting educators.”
Destinations
In 2026, Edsby introduced Destinations, a software system for competency-based learning. While such assessment generates a large volume of artifacts, self-assessments, and longitudinal observations, “Edsby Destinations was purpose-built to solve this complexity at scale,” wrote Eric Sheninger, education author and speaker.
SignWave
Edsby SignWave is a digital forms and workflow system intended to automate K-12 administrative processes such as field trip authorizations, policy consent forms, and fee collection by leveraging existing student information system (SIS) and other data to streamline approvals between parents, teachers, and school administrators.
