The 5-second student growth documentation platform for K-12 schools · SBA WOSB & EDWOSB Certified

Give your K-12 team their week back.

Softvorx turns the daily work of teaching into structured, audit-ready records — special education plans, growth notes, and progress — captured once in five seconds, with an educator approving every step. Documentation becomes a byproduct of the work, never the burden. AI never touches identifiable student data.

Our mission

Capture what a student did today in five seconds, from any phone, and feed the systems your district already runs.

AI-powered documentation that captures student growth in real time and feeds the systems a district already runs, instead of replacing them. Softvorx is a multi-role K-12 student growth documentation platform: today it serves five roles in one campus workflow, and it is designed for four documentation modes: general education growth tracking, special education compliance and Individualized Education Program (IEP) documentation, behavior intervention support, and teacher coaching with leadership dashboards. Built by an educator with 27 years in K-12, governed by humans, and federally certified as a Women-Owned Small Business.

Why it matters

The need is vast, and the people best placed to solve it are still underrepresented.

7.5M
students receive special-education services under the federal IDEA law — 15% of U.S. public-school students.
~5hrs
a week the average special-education teacher loses to paperwork.
~28%
of the U.S. STEM workforce is women — and far fewer in AI and robotics.

Why Softvorx

Six things that set Softvorx apart.

The same six a prime contractor reads on our capability statement. Most tools digitize the forms and call it progress; most AI cuts the human out and calls it efficiency. We take a different position on both.

Founder lived experienceLed by a CEO with 27 years in K-12 education, rooted in special education, who still teaches every week.
Chaos-first designBuilt for the most overwhelmed teacher on the most difficult day, not the idealized user.
Strength-based architectureDocuments student potential and growth alongside compliance data. Competitors default to deficit-only frameworks.
Complementary, not competitiveDesigned to feed existing district platforms rather than replace them, which speeds adoption and reduces procurement friction.
Universal K-12 designOne platform serves public, private, charter, and faith-based schools through four flexible modes.
Federal-grade compliance readinessCertified under 13 C.F.R. Part 127 (SBA WOSB program), FERPA-aligned, and federally certified WOSB and EDWOSB for federal contracting.
Governance & compliance

We run the company the same way we build our systems.

Softvorx Inc. was incorporated in Texas on April 14, 2019, and restructured under current CEO authority on December 19, 2025.

The company is 100% woman-owned; CEO Ruquia Shah holds sole executive and financial authority. Ikram Shah leads technical execution and platform engineering under CEO direction.

Every system reflects how we operate: structured, auditable, and accountable. The Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP), SOC 2, and accessibility certifications are on the roadmap.
