February 22, 2023
Introduction
In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, technology plays a critical role in increasing administrative efficiency and improving learning outcomes. Enterprise systems designed specifically for educational institutions have become indispensable tools that streamline processes and empower educators. Grep Digital helped the partners to implement the school management solution with multilingual capabilities that improves communication between students, parents and teachers.
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.

Grep Digital helped to define various personas and categorize the administration functions of the school. The intelligent application is designed to meet the needs of all stakeholders in the education system. From teachers and administrators to students and parents, everyone can benefit from its intuitive features and functions.
