स्कूल ERP चुनते समय ये 10 बातें ज़रूर देखें: आपके बोर्ड का रिपोर्ट कार्ड फ़ॉर्मेट, अभिभावक और शिक्षक लॉगिन, WhatsApp अलर्ट, ऑनलाइन फ़ीस, हिंदी सपोर्ट, डेटा की सुरक्षा, Excel एक्सपोर्ट, ट्रेनिंग, दूसरे साल की कीमत और फ़्री डेमो। डेमो में अपने स्कूल का असली काम करके देखें।

1. It supports your board formats

Report cards, marks entry and certificates should match CBSE, RBSE, HBSE or ICSE formats without manual editing. Ask to see a sample report card for your board.

2. Parents and teachers get their own login

The biggest time saver is fewer phone calls. Parents should see attendance, homework, fees and results themselves, and teachers should mark attendance and enter marks from their phone.

3. Fees are simple for the office

Check fee structures, concessions, late fees, receipts and the pending-fees list. The office staff should be able to collect a fee and print a receipt in under a minute.

4. WhatsApp and online payment are available

Automatic WhatsApp reminders and online fee payment by UPI reduce counter queues. Ask how message credits and gateway fees are charged.

5. It works in Hindi and English

Staff and parents in smaller towns are more comfortable with Hindi. Check that screens and messages can be understood by everyone.

6. Your data stays yours

Ask who owns the data, how often it is backed up, and whether you can export everything to Excel at any time.

7. Roles and permissions are clear

The office, accounts, teachers and principal should each see only what they need. This protects data and avoids mistakes.

8. Training and support are included

Find out how staff will be trained, who you call when something goes wrong, and whether support is on WhatsApp.

9. You know the price for year two

Many schools are surprised by renewal prices. Get the yearly price and any setup cost in writing.

10. You tried it in a live demo

Never buy from a brochure. Ask for a live demo and try your own daily tasks: add a student, collect a fee, mark attendance, print a report card.
