We set the school up
You tell us your school name and academic year dates. We set up the school and the first administrator account, and that person gets an email to set their own password.
How it works
Live this week, not this quarter
A school can usually be working on its real data within days. There is nothing to install, nothing to buy for the office computers, and no IT person needed on your side.
Getting started
Four steps to your first day
This is the whole onboarding. We keep it short deliberately, because a long implementation is how school software ends up abandoned.
Your data goes in
Our team enters your students, staff, fees and last year's dues at your school, from your registers and lists. You check 20 students picked at random and sign off. Your registers never leave your campus.
You decide who sees what
Start from 24 ready-made roles and adjust them to your school. The clerk gets fees, the class teacher gets the register for their own class, the principal gets everything. Nobody gets more than they need.
Your team is trained
We walk the office staff and class teachers through their own screens on your own data. It is a short session, because the daily work is three or four screens, not sixty. Step-by-step guides are built into the software for later.
How a school uses it
One academic year, start to finish
Nothing here is a feature list for its own sake. This is the order a real school works in, and the product is built in the same order.
-
Open the academic year
Every school year starts here: the dates, the classes and the calendar.
- Set your year dates
- Holidays are added to the calendar for you
- Classes, sections and subjects are set up for the year
-
Take in the admissions
Enquiries arrive at the front desk and move through your own follow-up stages until they become students.
- Record walk-in and phone enquiries with a follow-up list
- See which sources bring real admissions
- Bring your existing students in from Excel
-
Set the fees
Set each class's fees once. Changing this year's fees never touches last year's books.
- Class-wise fee heads and instalments
- Bus fee set by the student's stop
- Late fees added automatically, as per your policy
-
Run the day
The screens your staff use every morning, built to stop mistakes as they happen.
- Class teachers mark the daily register
- The office collects fees and hands over a printed receipt
- Teachers set homework and give feedback
- Notices reach exactly the people you choose
-
Answer the questions
Collection this month, who is absent, how many students in which class. Without anyone building a spreadsheet.
- Student, staff and class counts at a glance
- The year's fee collection trend
- Attendance history for every student
- The whole school in Excel whenever you want it
-
Close and promote
The biggest day of the school year, and it can be undone.
- See who moves where before anything changes
- Promote the whole school in one step
- Unpaid fees carried into the new year
- Undo the entire promotion if something is wrong
