Fee collection by register
Challans, concessions, late fines and installments are tracked manually, so outstanding fees are hard to see and chase.

Education ERP software for schools, colleges and academies
From the admission inquiry to the final transcript, we implement and build systems that keep academics, fees, staff and parents on the same data across every campus.
What is education ERP software?
Education ERP software is the system an institution uses to manage the student lifecycle and the operations around it: admissions, enrolment, timetables, attendance, assessments, fee billing, staff, transport and communication with parents. It replaces separate registers and spreadsheets with one record per student, so a fee defaulter, an attendance drop or a missing result is visible to the people who need to act on it.
Operational problems we see most often
Results compiled in spreadsheets
Teachers enter marks in separate files that are merged by hand for report cards, introducing errors and delays.
Attendance that nobody acts on
Daily attendance is recorded on paper, so parents learn about absences late and patterns go unnoticed.
Multi-campus inconsistency
Each branch runs its own process, making it difficult to compare enrolment, fees or results across the group.
Parents calling the office
Questions about fees, homework, results and events go through phone calls because there is no self-service channel.

One student record from inquiry to promotion
Admissions, fees, academics and results build on the same record through the session.
- 01
Inquiry
A parent submits an inquiry or application online and the admissions team follows up from one pipeline.
- 02
Admission
Tests are scheduled, documents checked, and the accepted student is enrolled into a class and section.
- 03
Fee billing
The fee plan generates challans or invoices per installment, and payments are posted against the student account.
- 04
Teaching & attendance
Timetables assign teachers to periods, and attendance is taken daily with parents alerted to absences.
- 05
Assessment
Teachers enter marks per assessment; weightages calculate term results and report cards are generated.
- 06
Promotion
Promotion rules move students to the next class and carry balances and records into the new session.
Work the system can do for you
Fee reminders
Parents receive reminders before due dates, and late fines are applied according to your policy.
Absence alerts
A parent is notified by SMS, email or app when their child is marked absent.
Report card generation
Results are calculated from entered marks and weightages and published as report cards for each class.
Session rollover
At year end, students are promoted, sections reassigned and fee plans created for the new session in bulk.

Map the academic year
Document classes, sections, subjects, assessment schemes, fee structures and the calendar you actually follow.
Clean student data
Consolidate student, parent and outstanding-fee records from registers and spreadsheets before import.
Configure and extend
Set up standard modules and build the fee rules, report-card formats or integrations you need.

Education software questions
What does education ERP software include?
It usually includes admissions, student records, timetables, attendance, exams and report cards, fee billing, staff and payroll, and a parent portal. Institutions start with the modules they need most, often fees and attendance, and add the rest over time.
Can one system run several campuses?
Yes. Each campus can have its own classes, fee structures and staff while head office sees consolidated enrolment, collections and results across the group.
Can parents pay fees online?
Yes, where a suitable payment gateway, bank or wallet integration is available. Payments post automatically to the student account; bank challans can also be reconciled against imported statements.
Does Odoo have a school management module?
Odoo has no official school administration app, but its accounting, HR, payroll, website and eLearning apps cover much of the back office. Student-specific features such as fee plans, exams and report cards are typically built as custom modules or a dedicated system.
Can the system handle our own grading and report card format?
Yes. Assessment schemes, weightages, grading scales and report card layouts are configured to match your board or institution's rules rather than a fixed template.
When is the best time to switch systems?
The start of a new academic session is usually the cleanest point, because fee plans, sections and results begin fresh. Preparation and data cleanup should begin well before the session starts.
