Customised
Productivity Solution
School Management System
Typical Work Flow
• Manual recording of students' attendance for sign-in and sign-out
• Manual monitoring of session duration, calculates the expected session end time
• Manual recording of student progress in record book, keeps hard copies of test
papers
• Manual tracking of fees collection(over-dues, partial payment, advanced
payment) on spreadsheets/hand written notes
• Use hand written receipts
• Updates to student’s progress and fee payment are only visible on 1 record book
• Manual stock monitoring, physically counting to determine stock level, and
decide on replenishment
Recurring Pain Points
• Mentally exhausting to monitor attendance and calculate session expected
end time
• Difficult to track progress, no tools to help alert plan deviations
• Time consuming to tally amount received at end of business day, no time to
immediately write receipts upon payment received
• Not able to timely follow up on fees collection
• Staffs not able to collaborate on the data from student’s records as
synchronised sharing is not possible
• Hard copy records are not kept over the years and historical data are lost
• Not able to timely monitor stock level and make new orders, risk of out-of-stock
occurrence
Tools To Solve The Problem
• Attendance management system
• Study plan management system
• Fees management system
• Stock management system

• Record payment received and generate receipts for email and printing
• Easily monitor student fees payment, track over-dues
• Data are kept in a centralised database to enable collaboration and
archive for historical records
• Real time update to stock level upon stock usage, auto generate alerts
for low stock and re-order
Gains Created
• Eliminate paper record for attendance sheets,
receipt, progress tracking
• Generate data for trend analysis of attendance,
payment arrival, stock utilisation
• Business intelligence: perform customer
analytics, spot defect customer at the greatest
ROI impact, identify locations with high potential
of new enrolments
The Improved Situation
• Able to focus on instructions delivery and minimise on admin tasks
such as receipt writing, counting cash at end of day, and
monitoring stocks
• Enable staff collaboration to work on targeted students’ data
• Build up knowledge base on instruction delivery for various
personas of students, using historical data
• Use analytics to identify from existing parents who will likely
respond to add on enrolments, or going to defect
• Use trend analysis to identify existing students with high learning
potentials or quitting, based on progress, attendance, and class-
day observation data
