Schoolios

One calm place to run your school: admissions to report cards, fees to payroll, and every family kept informed.

Built for schools in IndiaStart free
Today

The school office runs on five tools and three spreadsheets

Scattered records

Admissions in one file, fees in another, marks on paper. Nobody has the whole picture.

Work that gets lost

A form half-filled, a receipt re-typed, a mark changed by two people. Time disappears.

Families left guessing

What is due? Was it received? Is there a notice? Parents call the office to find out.

The idea

One system, one record per child

Everything connects. An admission becomes a student, a student gets a fee plan, attendance and marks add up to a report card, and the family sees it all.

Campus

Transport, library, stores, health and behaviour

Routes, stops and who rides which bus.

Library

Catalogue, issue and return, lost copies and fines.

What the school owns, who has it, what needs replacing.

Health

Staff

Payroll without the month-end scramble

Pay bands

Set a band once, apply it to everyone on it.

Payslips

Run the month, check it, publish. Corrections keep a revision trail.

Statutory figures

Made for India

The paperwork is part of the product

UDISE+ and APAAR

The fields the returns ask for live on the student record, with an annual promotion run.

Privacy and consent

Consent for photos and sharing. Aadhaar is masked, and revealing it needs a reason that is recorded.

Fee rules

Versioned, approval-stamped fee heads, so a disclosure is one export.

Languages

Messages in English, Hindi and Kannada, each family in their own.

Designed for busy people

You never lose your work

Every form and every open panel is saved as you type and has its own link. Refresh the page, lose the connection or close the tab, and you come back exactly where you were.

Safe by default

Drafts are kept for a week on your own device. Passwords and ID numbers are never stored.

Shareable

Send a colleague the link to the exact panel you have open.

Calm

No "are you sure you want to leave" panic.

Roles

Everyone sees what their job needs

Principal

Everything, with reports and approvals.

Groups

Onboarding a school

The first week, step by step

Day 1 · We set up

  • Your school is created and the principal invited
  • Logo, academic year, classes, sections and subjects (a guided checklist)
  • Staff invited by email, each with a role

Days 2-3 · You bring your data

  • Download the student and staff templates, or use your own Excel sheet
  • Preview shows every problem before anything is saved
  • Fix the rows that need it, import the rest

Days 4-5 · You set the rules

  • Fee heads and structures, concessions, late fees
  • Holidays and the school calendar
  • Timetable by hand or with the planner, and the grade scale

Everything on this slide you can do yourself; we sit alongside for the first load.

Onboarding a school

Going live, without a cliff

Week 1 · Set up

Structure, staff, students and fee structures in place.

Week 2 · Train

Short sessions by role: office, teachers, accounts. Teachers only need attendance and marks.

Weeks 3-4 · Run beside

Keep the old process for one cycle of attendance and one fee run, and compare.

Then · Switch

Families are invited, the old sheets are put away, and we stay close for the first month.

Best started at the end of a term or a fee cycle. A typical path; we fit it to your calendar.
