Enterprise systems designed specifically for educational institutions have become indispensable tools that streamline processes and empower educators.

Understanding School Requirements

An established school faced the challenge of maintaining an accurate and up-to-date student record, which is time-consuming and error-prone when relying on manual processes. Manually tracking and managing grades and assignments for a large number of students and multiple subjects. Manual tracking of attendance was time consuming and resulted in less time spent per class. Administrator faced challenges in creating and managing schedules, especially when a teacher was unavailable. Fee collection with flexible payment cycles was cumbersome to maintain accurate records. Manual exam administration, including scheduling, grading, and posting results, was labor intensive and error prone.
