Vidya Mandir, Estancia is one such school and this is what they desired for. The school with about 1000 students, wanted to be able to automatically come up with complete student-wise, staff-wise and other mandatory school data to maintain and showcase whenever required. In short, they were willing to say no to manual mode of data entry and safe-keeping and say yes to automation and digitization. 

We knew this was going to be a lot of hard work, automation and information feeding that has to be done for every single student in the school. We build a single platform where, when given a student's ID number is fed, is be able to come up with - his/her date of joining, attendance, term-wise grades, club activities, allergies, library habits, emergency contacts, certificates he/she has submitted/yet to submit and many more important details. The application also helped the admin department of the school to renew AMCs, school transport management, expenditures etc. The Principal and the Vice Principals can have a quick dashboard-level info of every student to check his academic performance, attendance and other specific details including important CBSE updates, holidays etc.

While the developers worked on the fields and forms, they also made it a point to sit with the teachers of the school, explain the application and take them through every little process in the solution.

"When I gave a go-ahead and was thoroughly convinced that this was going to help us, the teachers were still a little apprehensive since they were quite unsure on how a solution online was going to help them with a process followed offline and manually for hundreds of years now. But if you ask them now, they'd be able to tell you how much this has helped them and the school to maintain records and compile data over just a few hours!", says Maheshwari Natrajan, Prinicipal of Vidya Mandir, Estancia.

The platform is completely customizable with fields that can be modified and forms that can be removed. You can add colors, edit content and showcase all the important data at a glance in the dashboard.

"The dashboard is the most important part of this solution. I can pick, choose and compare any data of any student from any year to his previous year's performance and analyze. We can do this with staff-data, student-data, school management data, school repository data, school admin data etc. Also, one extra exclusive feature is that, we have all of CBSE's important updates showcased on our dashboard - this makes it so easy for us to grab info, rather than going to the CBSE website time and again!", she continues.
