Roadmap
This is what we are working towards, in the order we expect to do it. Dates are not promises: the order changes when our first schools tell us what matters most.
Now Being built or tested with our first schools.
Real messages in progress
Fee reminders and absence alerts by email, then SMS and WhatsApp, in each family's language. Email is built and waits for a sending account; SMS and WhatsApp need provider accounts first.
Reach
Always-on hosting and backups planned
A server that does not sleep, nightly backups, and a restore we have practised.
Reliability
First pilot school planned
One school, one term, weekly feedback. What they ask for decides the rest of this list.
Product
Next Planned once the pilot is running.
Your own domain planned
Reach Schoolios on your school's or trust's own web address, such as app.yourschool.in.
Reliability
Android app planned
The parent and teacher experience in the Play Store, with notifications that arrive when the app is closed.
Reach
More imports planned
Fee dues carried over, library catalogue, stock lists, vehicles and routes.
Setup
Switching from another system in progress
Import reads the sheets other systems export, with a guide for what comes across and what does not. Ready-made templates for particular systems come once we have real exports to build from.
Setup
Load testing in progress
A test for result day, fee-due day and morning attendance is built; it still has to be run against the live server.
Reliability
Biometric and bus GPS devices exploring
Accept punches from attendance machines and positions from vehicle trackers, alongside the phone-based options.

More languages planned
Native-speaker review of Hindi and Kannada, then the language of the first school's district.
Languages
