Industries

Education and training

An institution manages pupils, teachers, timetables, marks, payments and parents. When that information lives in separate binders, the administration spends more time consolidating than supporting.

Stakes

What weighs on the trade

  • Enrolment growing faster than administrative capacity
  • Tuition-fee collection difficult to follow
  • Communication with parents scattered between calls and messages
  • Traceability required during administrative inspections

Critical operations

What must not stop

  • Enrolment and re-enrolment
  • Timetables and room allocation
  • Entering marks and producing report cards
  • Tracking attendance and absences
  • Invoicing and collection of fees

Why digitalise

What technology changes here

The start of the academic year concentrates most of the year's administrative load into three weeks. A system that automates enrolment, invoicing and class allocation frees up time exactly when there is none.

What can be automated

  • Report cards generated from the marks entered
  • Automatic reminders on unpaid fees
  • Same-day notification of absences to parents
  • Production of certificates and proof of enrolment
  • Allocation of pupils to classes according to defined rules

  • Regular backups with restores that are actually tested

Our approach

A typical path in this sector

  1. Start-of-year audit

    We observe a real enrolment period to measure the times involved and where things get stuck.

  2. Batch 1: records and invoicing

    Enrolment, classes, fees and collection put into service before the next academic year.

  3. Batch 2: portals

    Opening access for teachers, pupils and parents, with training by group.

  4. Follow-up

    Support through the first full academic year, then prioritised changes.
