As schools become increasingly digital you will struggle to carry out manual administration. Student admissions and school fees are often the biggest issues, and parents expect an efficient process using digital systems.
By integrating with a custom school fees management software you are able to turn your homepage into an interactive web portal. This allows you to automate the complicated processes.
Benefits of a Custom Web Portal
This acts as a secure section of your school’s website. Parents won’t have to go to confusing external sites as it will be built directly onto your school’s website.
This creates a secure link between your school’s website and school admin database. Any actions taken by parents will instantly be processed within the software.
Online Student Admissions
Admissions begin on your website. By integrating admissions tracking into your finance software everything will be smooth.
Digital Admission Forms – Parents can complete custom admission forms on your portal.
Instant Registration Fee – You can take admissions fees instantly.
Automated Student Profiles – Once the registration fee has been paid the software will automatically create a new student profile with all relevant details.
Fee Collection
Manually sending invoices and recording bank payments can be very time consuming. By integrating your web portal you can automate the process.
Personalised Parent Portal – Parents will be able to see exactly how much they owe, any discounts, transport costs and previous payments.
Multiple Payment Options – You can integrate multiple payment options such as UPI, debit/credit cards and net banking onto the portal.
Instant Accounting – As soon as a payment has been made the software will update the students accounting, mark the invoice as paid and send an electronic receipt.
Reminders
Keeping track of outstanding payments can be difficult. With the integrated software you can remove this from your admin team.
Automated Reminders – The software will keep track of deadlines and automatically send reminders to parents. These will be personalised.
Transparent – Parents will clearly know what they owe.
Secure
As this involves handling payments and student data, you need to ensure it is secure.
Secure Payment Methods – You can ensure payments are secure by integrating the system.
Restricted Access – Parents can only see their own payment details, however the school admin will have access to a centralised dashboard showing all financial information including outstanding balances and cashflow.
Conclusion
By integrating a custom fee management portal onto your school website you will give your institution a professional look. It will also reduce admin, remove human error and parents will enjoy the modern service.
Investing into a custom web portal solution will allow your admin to stop doing repetitive tasks and focus on helping your educational community.
