Automation Built for Schools

Admissions, fee collection and parent communication — automated, on top of your ERP.

How Schools can save money and hours with specific automations

Every package includes the three automations that matter most for growth, plus the ones built for how your business actually runs.

Instant & quick repliesLead generationAuto-posting
The Problem
What’s Actually Slowing You Down
It is admission season. The front desk has 40 unanswered messages, three parents waiting in the lobby, and a fee-defaulter list nobody has had time to call.
✗

Admission enquiries flood in during the season and the front desk cannot keep up

✗

Staff spend hours every month phoning parents for fees

✗

Parents ask the same questions again and again: timetable, holidays, exam dates

✗

A circular means copying messages to ten WhatsApp groups, one class at a time

If this sounds like your week, the next section is for you.

The Fix

Setup

Illustrative estimate, not a guarantee. Results depend on your volumes, team and follow-through. Setup and retainer use the Automation Bundle range; your exact quote is confirmed after a short discovery call.

How this is calculated
  • Time saved = (tasks per enquiry × enquiries + fixed monthly tasks) × minutes saved per task.
  • Extra customers = (enquiries recovered from slow or missed replies + new enquiries from lead generation) × your conversion rate, plus existing customers brought back by reminders and recalls.
  • Extra profit = extra customers × average customer value × your profit margin.
  • To stay conservative, new customers are capped at 15% above your current monthly customers, and returning customers at 6% of your existing base. A repeat visit is valued at the share of the average revenue that is realistic for your industry.
  • Payback = setup ÷ (monthly benefit − retainer), shown for the low and high end of the bundle range.
