- Who it's for
We build school software that office staff, teachers and parents can use without a training manual: online admissions, fee collection with UPI and instalments, attendance, homework, exams and report cards, bus tracking, and a parent app in the languages your families read. It can serve one school or a group of branches run by one trust.

How to start
Tell us what you need in your own words. You talk to the developers who would build it and get a written, line-item estimate.
Get a project estimateA school day without registers and reminder calls
Many Indian schools run on a mix of fee registers, WhatsApp groups, printed circulars and an ageing desktop program in the accounts office. Each term brings the same load: admission enquiries, fee reminders, exam timetables, report cards in the board's format, and parents calling to ask where the bus is.
We build school software that joins these pieces. Office staff get one system for admissions, fees and student records. Teachers mark attendance and post homework from their phones in a minute. Parents get a simple app, or WhatsApp messages if they prefer, with fees, results and notices in one place.
Because many families use entry-level Android phones shared between siblings, we design for small screens, low data use, several children under one login, and Hindi or regional-language interfaces.
Challenges
Problems school administrators bring to us
Fee collection and dues
Instalments, concessions, late fees and sibling discounts are tracked by hand, and reminders depend on staff time.
Scattered communication
Circulars, homework and urgent notices are spread across WhatsApp groups, diaries and SMS.
Report card crunch
Marks entry, grading schemes and board-specific formats take teachers days every term.
Transport safety
Parents want to know when the bus is near, and the school needs boarding records, not just classroom attendance.
Children's data protection
Student records are children's personal data, which the DPDP Act treats with specific care, including verifiable parental consent.
Solutions
Software schools ask us for
School ERP and parent apps for admissions, fees, attendance, timetables, homework, exams, transport and communication between teachers, parents and admin.

Government data returns
Student and staff data prepared for UDISE+ and board registrations without re-entry.
How it works
How a school year flows between office, teachers and parents
One record per student connects admission, fees, attendance, transport and results, so nobody types the same details twice.
- School website
Step 1: Parent applies online
The admission form, documents and interaction slot are handled online, and the office sees class-wise seats fill up as applications arrive.
- Office staff
Step 2: Office confirms admission and fees
Staff approve the admission, apply sibling or staff concessions and send the fee schedule to the parent app in one step.
- Parent app
Step 3: Parent pays by UPI
Instalments are paid by UPI or card and the receipt appears at once. Reminders for overdue fees go out without anyone making calls.
- Teacher app
Step 4: Teacher marks attendance
Attendance takes a few taps each morning, and parents of absent children are alerted within minutes.
- Driver app
Step 5: Bus tracked to the school gate
The driver's phone shares the bus location, parents see an arrival estimate for their stop, and boarding is confirmed at pickup.
- Teachers and exam cell
Step 6: Marks entered, report cards printed
Marks and co-scholastic grades flow into your board's report card format, so teachers stop formatting report cards by hand at the end of each term.
- Admin dashboard
Step 7: Principal and trust review the numbers
Admissions, collections, dues and attendance are visible by class or branch, ready for the management meeting.

Plain-English glossary
School software terms, in plain English
- Role-based access
- Each login sees only what that role needs: a class teacher sees their section, the accountant sees fees, the principal sees everything. It protects children's data and prevents accidental changes.
- Push notification
- A message that appears on a parent's phone from the school app, even when the app is closed. Absence alerts and fee reminders arrive without SMS costs or noisy WhatsApp groups.
- Payment gateway
- The service that securely accepts UPI, card or net-banking payments and confirms them to your software. It is why receipts appear instantly and dues update without the accountant re-entering anything.
- UDISE+
- The Ministry of Education's national school database, to which schools submit student and staff data every year. Keeping records in one system lets you prepare that return from data you already hold.
- Verifiable parental consent
- Proof that a parent or guardian agreed before the school processes a child's personal data, as the DPDP Act requires. Capturing it during admission keeps your records defensible from day one.
Product preview

Illustrative screens: names, classes and amounts are examples.
Parent app. Parents see attendance, fees due, homework and the school bus for each child on one screen, with several children under one login. 
Teacher app. Teachers mark attendance in under a minute from a phone or classroom tablet, and absence alerts go to parents automatically. 
Parent app. Parents follow the bus stop by stop with a live arrival estimate, so fewer anxious calls reach the transport desk each morning. 
Admin dashboard. The principal and trust see collections, dues, attendance and admission enquiries across branches without waiting for month-end reports.

Cost drivers
What decides the scope of school software
Modules at launch
Fees, attendance and a parent app make a practical first release; exams, transport and learning features can follow.
Branches and data migration
Importing student, fee and ledger history per branch takes planning and validation.
Transport tracking approach
Using the driver's phone is quicker to roll out than integrating GPS devices already fitted in buses.
Board formats
Supporting CBSE, ICSE and state-board report formats, or several at once, adds template work.
Estimates are written from your scope, with the effort and assumptions behind each line item.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to set up software for one school?
For a single school, a first release with admissions, fees, attendance and a parent app typically takes eight to fourteen weeks to build and configure, depending on how much is customised. Data migration and staff training run in parallel during the last few weeks. We recommend going live at the start of a term or academic year, so fee structures and class allocations begin clean rather than mid-cycle.
Will parents without smartphones be left out?
No. The parent app is one channel, not the only one. Notices, fee reminders and absence alerts can also go by SMS or through the WhatsApp Business Platform, and receipts are shared as links or PDFs. The app itself is kept light, works on older Android versions and caches information for weak connections. The office can see which parents have not installed it and keep reaching them through other channels.
How is children's data protected under the DPDP Act?
The DPDP Act requires verifiable consent from a parent or guardian before processing a child's personal data, and restricts tracking, behavioural monitoring and targeted advertising aimed at children. We build consent capture into admissions, limit staff access by role, encrypt data, log who viewed or changed records, and leave third-party analytics and ad SDKs out of parent and student apps. The school remains the data fiduciary, so we document data flows to support your leadership's decisions.
Can you migrate data from our current school software?
Usually, yes. Most school software can export student lists, fee ledgers and marks to Excel or CSV, and we map those into the new system with validation reports that flag duplicates, missing admission numbers or unbalanced ledgers. Where only printed reports exist, we agree a cut-off date and import opening balances rather than full history. A trial migration comes first, so your office can check totals before the final switch.
Can one system serve several schools run by the same trust?
Yes. Branches share one platform with separate data per school, plus a trust-level dashboard for admissions, collections, dues and attendance across branches. Fee structures, academic calendars and report formats can differ by branch while staff logins stay limited to their own school. Central teams can still send group-wide notices, and adding a new branch becomes configuration rather than a fresh installation.
