The twelve groups

Everything that defines what gets taught and to whom. The class structure and timetable are the spine of the platform; most other modules hang off them.

  • Class and section management with capacity rules and section-level teachers.
  • Timetable builder with conflict detection across teachers and rooms.
  • Syllabus and lesson-plan tracking, including coverage percentage per topic.
  • Homework and assignments with due dates, submissions and per-submission feedback.
  • Subject-wise classwork log so absent students can see what they missed.

From a daily quiz to a board-style term exam, with a gradebook that survives staff changes.

  • Quiz builder shared with CheriMathLab, including the same fair-play protections.
  • Exam scheduler with seating plans, hall tickets and absentee tracking.
  • Gradebook with weighted components (assignments, mid-terms, finals, project work).
  • Report-card generator that produces PDF, web and printable formats.
  • Certificates and transcripts; bulk export for results and progression decisions.

Attendance the way the school actually wants to capture it, not just the way the software defaulted to.

  • Manual roll-call from the teacher dashboard with bulk-mark and bulk-absent shortcuts.
  • Optional biometric and RFID integrations for schools that already have those readers.
  • Geofenced check-in for transport vehicles, school gates and field trips.
  • Late-mark rules with auto-conversion to half-day or full-day after configurable thresholds.
  • Absentee follow-up workflows that push to parent portal, SMS or WhatsApp.

The piece of the platform that pays for the others. Designed around how Indian schools actually collect.

  • Fee-structure designer: term-wise, instalment, optional components, sibling discounts.
  • Online payments via UPI, cards and netbanking, with auto-reconciliation against student records.
  • Receipt generation, late-fee rules and scheduled reminders to parents.
  • Dues tracking, fee-default risk alerts (AI-assisted), and refund workflows.
  • Scholarships, RTE-quota fee waivers and donor-funded scheme tracking.

One inbox for the school, with the same message reaching parents, students and teachers in the channels they actually use.

  • Integrated chat across Admin, Faculty, Students and Parents (Premium tier and above).
  • Announcements with role-based delivery: per class, per grade, per role or whole-school.
  • Outbound SMS, email, WhatsApp Business and push notifications via configurable templates.
  • Open-rate and read-rate tracking for parent communications.
  • Two-way parent replies routed to the right teacher, not a generic info inbox.

Built on Jitsi for the live media layer, wrapped in CHERI SMS so the session has its own roll-call, recording and rating flow.

  • Schedule, auto-PIN, approve student joins, start with one button.
  • HD video, screen sharing, in-session chat, raise-hand and breakout rooms.
  • Recordings tied to the class roster; absent students can catch up later.
  • Attendance is captured automatically from join/leave events, not on a separate screen.
  • Host controls: mute all, remove, lock the session, lobby for late joiners.

A real library, not just a Google-Drive folder labelled “library”.

  • Book catalogue with ISBN lookup, author and topic indexing.
  • Issue and return workflow with barcode or RFID, including renewal limits.
  • Late-return fines tied to the fee module so dues don’t live in a separate spreadsheet.
  • Digital library: ePub, PDF and external resources organised per grade.
  • Reading-history visible on the student dashboard and in parent reports.

For schools that actually run a hostel and a transport fleet, both are first-class modules rather than third-party plug-ins.

  • Hostel: blocks, floors, rooms, allocation, transfer requests, mess menu and roll-call.
  • Transport: route designer, vehicle records, driver records, fuel and maintenance.
  • GPS and geofence support for live vehicle tracking and parent-side ETAs.
  • Pickup-drop attendance integrated with the main attendance module.
  • Per-route fee structures that flow into the main fees module.

End-to-end admissions, from the parent’s first enquiry to the new student appearing on a teacher’s roster.

  • Public enquiry form embedded on the school’s website, with auto-acknowledgement.
  • Application form with document upload, configurable per grade.
  • Admission-test scheduling, hall tickets and result publishing.
  • Online enrolment fee payment and offer-letter issuance.
  • Promotion to active student record creates parent and student logins automatically.

The school as an employer, not just as a place where teachers happen to work.

  • Staff master with role, department, qualifications, contracts and document tracking.
  • Leave management with multi-level approval, balance tracking and quota carry-forward.
  • Payroll: salary structure, deductions, taxes, payslips, bank-file generation.
  • Performance reviews and rating cycles, including 360 feedback where the school wants it.
  • Training records and certification renewal alerts.

The 29 AI tools that justify the “AI-powered” in the product name. Some sit on top of existing modules; others are standalone.

  • Fee-default risk: predicts which students are likely to miss the next instalment.
  • Attendance-decline prediction: flags students whose attendance trend is worsening.
  • Academic-risk score: combines quiz scores, attendance and engagement into a single signal.
  • Parent-engagement scoring: surfaces the parents we’re losing contact with.
  • Natural-language report queries: ask “how is Class 9-B doing in maths this term?” in plain English.
  • AI assistant for staff and admins, scoped to that user’s permissions.

The boring but load-bearing bit. Covered in detail on the security and compliance page; summarised here.

  • 11 roles, 8 permission types, individual user-level overrides.
  • AES-256 at rest for sensitive fields; TLS 1.2+ in transit; multi-tenant isolation enforced at the framework level.
  • Audit logs covering API calls, sensitive-record changes, errors and clickstream.
  • Compliance posture for UDISE+, RTE Act, NEP 2020 and GDPR / DPDP.
  • Data residency on request: India, UAE or other regions for schools with strict requirements.
