Before we publish another post on
the different phases in a software development life cycle, we decided to write
a few words on a more pertinent topic. Over the course of the last few months,
many schools have asked us about our ERP Software for School Management, trying
to understand how it can help them. We understand the nature of these
questions, as in most schools in India and even in other countries ledgers and
registers backed by a simple accounting software seem to be the normal systems
that are in place and considered more than adequate to run a school.
Nothing can be further from the
truth as we tell our customers, and in this post we look at why a School ERP
Software is critical to a school (even more for a chain of schools) to develop
and maintain its advantages in the market.
Overall Management
This is one of the most important
operational aspects of an ERP software for school management. The school ERP
software streamlines operations like never before. Everything from class and
exam schedules to everyday homework and from student management to parent-teacher
meetings can be managed from a single system with a few clicks of a button.
A good ERP software development company also customises each aspect of the software to suit the school. This
means that the establishment gets everything just as they wanted it. The
principal and his/her team can at the click of 1-2 buttons check and measure
performances across students, classes, subjects, teachers, etc.
Giving Teachers the Power to Teach Better
A well-designed school ERP
software can make the teacher’s work easier, allowing them to spend time on
more important tasks of nurturing and helping the students reach their full
potential. Teachers can use the software to design class schedules, syllabuses,
assign individualised homework, keep a tab on student performances, and even
communicate with parents.
Besides, they are able to see all
targets or goals assigned to them individually or collectively by the school
management and make practical plans to achieve them. The ERP school management software frees the teachers from time-consuming non-productive activities and helps
them focus instead on work that is more important.
Keeping Parents Informed and Updated
With news coming in every day of
some mishap or the other, parents in India are a worried lot. The onus is
suddenly on schools to show that they are doing a good job of educating and
nurturing the youngsters. An effective way is to help the parents be aware of
what their children are doing or where they are at any point of time right from
their smartphones. An ERP software development company can design custom school
ERP software that can not only help the parents know of their children’s
whereabouts but also allow them to track performances of the child in school,
games and exams. In addition, they can track their interaction with teachers
and management, check the fees paid and due, the activities the school is
planning, etc. by simply opening their school ERP mobile app.
Safeguarding the Children
The most important job in any
school is to ensure that the children are safe and secure. Managing or trying
to control hundreds of schoolchildren is a thankless and a nearly impossible
job. Fortunately, this work becomes much easier with a school ERP software. A standard
platform can be customised to suit the specific needs of the schoolchildren.
For instance, installing a GPS tracker in the software that works with a tag
the child wears on his clothes is a good way to ensure that the children are
where they ought to be and not missing classes. From being able to check
absenteeism to knowing where the child is on the premises, an ERP software can
take care of all oversight needed to keep the children safe and secure.
