SCHOOLS, COACHING CLASSES & TRAINING INSTITUTES

Fees in one register, attendance in another. And the parent rings the office to ask.

Q: Will teachers actually use it?

Only if taking attendance is faster than the paper register. That is the bar, and it is why attendance is designed for a phone in a classroom rather than a desktop in an office.

Q: Can parents pay fees through the app?

Yes, where a payment gateway makes sense for your volumes. Gateway charges are per transaction, so for some institutes it costs more than it saves — we will show you the arithmetic before you decide.

Schools, coaching classes and training institutes run on attendance, fees and whether a parent can find out something without phoning. Most of the software sold to them is a billing system with a timetable bolted on.

01 — THE PARTICULAR HEADACHES

Four things that cost a school its week.

01

Fee follow-up is a phone call

Someone works down a register ringing parents. The reminder nobody sent is the instalment nobody paid, and the register does not know which is which.

02

Attendance lives in three places

A paper register, a teacher's notebook and a spreadsheet typed up on Friday. By the time anyone asks a question of it, it is a week old and disagrees with itself.

03

Parents have to ring to find out anything

Marks, attendance, fees, the holiday on Thursday. Every one of those is a phone call the office answers instead of doing its job.

04

Results season stops everything

Marks entered twice, calculated in a spreadsheet, and checked by hand under deadline. It happens every term and it is never planned for.

02 — WHAT WE BUILD FOR THIS TRADE

Three routes for an institute.

FASTEST ROUTE

Fees and attendance first

The two registers that cause the most work, in one place, with reminders that send themselves. Usually pays for itself in the office hours it stops consuming.

Fee schedules, instalments and automatic reminders
Attendance taken on a phone, in the classroom
Receipts and statements a parent can be sent

PARENT FACING

A parent and student app

Where the phone calls go instead. Attendance, marks, fees due and announcements — so the office answers questions once rather than two hundred times.

One login per family, not per child
Announcements that reach a phone, not a noticeboard
Fee payment where a gateway makes sense

FULL BUILD

Coaching and course delivery

Batches, schedules, course content, tests and the enquiry pipeline before any of it — for institutes where enrolment is a sales process, not an admission form.

Batch and timetable management that handles clashes
Lessons, tests and progress a student can see
The enquiry-to-enrolment pipeline in the same system

03 — WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY SHIPPED HERE

What this work looks like.

SYSTEM

School management

Admissions, attendance, fees, exams and results in one system, with the reports a principal actually asks for rather than the ones that were easy to build.

APP

Parent and student apps

The app that stops the office phone ringing. Built for a family with one mid-range phone between them, not for a demo on a tablet.

PLATFORM

Coaching and course delivery

Batches, content, tests and progress tracking for institutes that teach rather than administer — including the enquiry pipeline that fills the batch.

04 — WHAT OWNERS IN THIS TRADE ASK

Four questions, answered before the call.

We already use software for fees. Can it talk to a new system?

Sometimes. It depends entirely on whether the existing system has an export or an API, which is the first thing we check. Where it does not, running both for a term while data moves across is usually safer than a hard switch.
