What Cybersoft Technologies does

Cybersoft Technologies, Inc. is a privately held Houston-based software company founded in 1998 by Charlie Yalamanchili. It develops and operates two cloud-based SaaS platforms, SchoolCafé and PrimeroEdge, purpose-built for K-12 school nutrition program management across the United States. SchoolCafé is an all-in-one web-based platform for district administrators covering supply management, delivery tracking, inventory, menu planning, nutritional analysis, and online payments. PrimeroEdge is a centralized system serving both school districts and state agencies with point-of-sale management (via the ExpressPoint mobile app), direct certification, menu planning, meal production, inventory, contracts and claims, food distribution, reviews, and financial management. The platforms integrate via API with PowerSchool and Aeries Student Information Systems and operate under a Microsoft Gold ISV competency.

The company serves K-12 public school districts and state education or agriculture agencies, with named deployments in at least twelve states plus Guam, including Utah State Board of Education, Indiana Department of Education, Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Texas Department of Agriculture, and Houston Independent School District. Cybersoft monetizes through a mix of recurring SaaS subscriptions (issued on a school-year basis and prorated), perpetual software licenses with mandatory annual support and maintenance (subject to up to 8% annual price increases), Kickstart implementation/onboarding professional services, and bundled hardware sales. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales to government buyers, supported by four purchasing cooperatives (Choice Partners, BuyBoard, TIPS, EdTechJPA) that streamline public-sector procurement.

The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and headcount reported in the 101–250 range. It operates from a single headquarters in Houston, Texas (4422 Cypress Creek Parkway), has no subsidiaries, and has no recorded M&A activity.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• PowerSchool (Nutrikids / Nutrislice): PowerSchool has acquired both Nutrikids and Nutrislice, making it the most direct head-to-head competitor to PrimeroEdge and SchoolCafé. It serves the same K-12 school nutrition buyers, covers POS, menu planning, eligibility, and payments, and competes for the same district and state-agency RFPs, often leveraging its dominant SIS footprint.
• LINQ (formerly Nutrition Solutions / TITAN): LINQ provides a K-12 operations suite that includes nutrition management (TITAN) covering menu planning, POS, eligibility, and USDA claims. It targets the same K-12 district and state-agency buyers and competes directly for nutrition software RFPs alongside Cybersoft's PrimeroEdge platform.
• Health-e Pro: Health-e Pro offers school nutrition management software including menu planning, nutrient analysis, production records, and USDA compliance tools. It targets K-12 districts with similar use cases to SchoolCafé and competes for nutrition director RFPs in the same mid-size district segment.
• Heartland School Solutions (TITAN): Heartland School Solutions provides K-12 nutrition, POS, and school office management software under the TITAN brand. It serves similar K-12 district buyers with overlapping functionality around meal eligibility, POS, and USDA reporting.
• Nutrislice (now PowerSchool): Nutrislice provides school menu publishing, nutrition information, and meal payment functionality that overlaps with SchoolCafé's family- and student-facing payment and nutrition-information modules. Now under PowerSchool, it competes for the same district nutrition communication and payment spend.

Broad incumbents

• Tyler Technologies (K-12 Nutrition / Versatrans): Tyler Technologies is a large public-sector software incumbent with K-12 ERP and nutrition management modules serving school districts. While it operates across many government verticals, its K-12 nutrition offering competes directly with PrimeroEdge for district-level nutrition software deals.
• Frontline Education (formerly Harris School Solutions): Frontline Education acquired Harris School Solutions, which provided K-12 nutrition, POS, and eligibility software. It serves the same school nutrition buyer with a broader K-12 administration portfolio, positioning it as a bundled incumbent competing against Cybersoft's standalone nutrition suite.
• Skyward (K-12 ERP with nutrition module): Skyward is a K-12 SIS/ERP vendor whose student management suite includes a nutrition/food service module. It competes with Cybersoft primarily as a bundled alternative for districts that prefer to procure nutrition software from their existing SIS vendor.

Emerging players

• Mosaic (Teq4biz): Mosaic by Teq4biz is a newer cloud-native K-12 nutrition platform covering menu planning, production, inventory, POS, and mobile ordering. It competes with PrimeroEdge and SchoolCafé for digitally-forward districts seeking modern UI/UX and cafeteria mobile experiences.

Others

• Cypress Integrations / Aeries SIS: Aeries is a leading K-12 Student Information System and an existing Cybersoft API integration partner. While not a direct nutrition competitor today, Aeries could expand downstream into school nutrition functionality, and its strategic posture affects PrimeroEdge's integration moat and partner economics.
