Project Highlights
The product is a school management portal that enrolls each and every entity associated with the school right from the students to teachers, parents and even administrators. The heart of the system is its internal messaging system which everyone can use to communicate internally. The Gradebook, Attendance management, and Assignment management features make this system unique from other school management portals. It has automated the school workflow resulting in a paperless management.
It’s an end to end web based system where school authorities can purchase a subscription plan based on the student strength and other measures. For each and every role, dashboard and graphical as well as tabular reporting systems are there.
Super admin is provided the exquisite reports, yearly revenue supervision as well as setting up the subscription plans. The school admin can access every function related to school such as grades & grade levels management and timetable management. The teacher can create a whole Grade-book as well as assignments for students with an ease. Transcripts, assignments, Grade-books etc. can be viewed by the students by logging into the system. The parents can view their children’s progress through the portal and at the same time, they can raise their concerns to the teachers through the internal messaging system.
The Challenges
- Complicated Database HandlingThe System revolves around 5 roles- super admin, school admin, teachers, students, and parents. The relationship and data sharing functionalities between them are quite complex. It wasn’t an easy task to create and interlinked individual database.
- Mobile Payment SystemIt was quite tough to develop a mobile payment technology which was in use in Africa. The mobile payment was the new technology for the team and its API was quite complex as well.
- Application’s available in both English and FrenchThe client asked Braivire to develop the application in 2 language, English and French.
- Rolling over of current data when year changesWhen an academic years change, the whole student data should be carried forward. Everything related to grades, grade levels, student data etc. needs to be carried forward.
