For Education Abroad providers

Stand out in chat search. Capture in your brand. Route into your stack.

Be the answer when ChatGPT and Perplexity get asked about a program like yours. The catalogue ships AEO-native, with structured data, llms.txt, and WebMCP, so your programs are citable by default. Your domain, your colours, your voice.

Captured leads land straight in the systems you already use. CRM, partner-uni feeds, mailing list, custom webhooks, in parallel, with audit trail per delivery. No vendor lock-in, no second form for the applicant.

The Provider Workflow. Three blocks. One conversation.

Seamless visibility from discovery through capture. One conversation. One structured record. Routed wherever you already work.

Why now

Outdated systems run the workflow. Spreadsheets run everything in between.

Education abroad providers are one of the most under-served verticals in SaaS. The dominant tools were built for university study-abroad offices, not for organisations operating across dozens of partner universities. So the operational glue ends up in spreadsheets, email, and DocuSign.

Partner data is stale
Partner universities update courses, prerequisites, and dates. Your marketing site shows the old version until someone manually copies it across.
Application packaging is manual
Transcripts, references, statements of purpose, course-approval forms. Every package is a Dropbox folder hand-assembled by a coordinator.
Credit transfer is opaque
Students don't know if a course will transfer until weeks after acceptance. You don't know if a partner course is approved until you ask the home institution.

INTO via ICEF Monitor
In production today

Discovery, Capture, and Routing are live. Built in partnership with first-wave customers.

Hanover Discovery is launching now, built on top of the production Hanover CRM. The CRM is the operations platform behind J-1 sponsorship, SEVIS reporting, and study-abroad operations across the industry. The front door is shipping today and being shaped in partnership with first-wave providers.

Program Discovery
AEO-native catalogue. ChatGPT and Perplexity can cite your programs by name. Multiple branded surfaces per tenant, intent-aware search, side-by-side compare.
Conversational Capture
30 seconds to register interest, three more minutes for the full application, all in chat. Traditional form mode is one click away. Same structured data either way.
Open Routing
Every captured lead flows out to Hanover CRM, HubSpot, Salesforce, partner sponsors, Mailchimp, custom webhooks. In parallel, no vendor lock-in.
When you're ready for the rest

Discovery is the front door. Hanover is the building behind it.

Hanover Discovery handles the top of the funnel. When you're ready for the full lifecycle (documents, interviews, visa, placement, arrival), the wider Hanover platform is the operations CRM the industry already uses to run J-1 sponsorship, SEVIS reporting, and study-abroad operations. Native to study abroad and exchange, not retro-fitted from a sales CRM.

DS-2019 generation, live SEVIS sync, T/IPP training plans for J-1. The strongest part of the platform; 25+ sponsors run on it today.
Partner & agent portals
Role-based access for recruiters, referring agents, and partner universities. Visa appointments, flights, placements, exports, visible only to those who need them.
Reporting & audit
Every status change, decision, and document logged. Custom reports across cohorts, full export for regulators. The reason sponsors stay through audits.

Show us your partner universities. We'll show you the discovery surface they're missing.
