School Management Software

The client is an Edutech firm disrupting the education system in the Middle East by venturing into non-traditional avenues that transform how education is delivered. They work to enhance classrooms, facilitate learning, and broaden the horizons of students worldwide. Experion has previously developed a multi-subject Edutech platform that delivers a seamless personalized experience for students, bringing unparalleled value to the world of supplemental learning mapped to the curricula of Arabic schools.

With nearly a decade of experience in the education sector, the client was able to closely observe and assess the gaps in how nursery schools are run. They identified that there was significant scope for improvement in the communication modes between nursery schools (and other primary care institutes), caretakers, and parents.

Most nursery schools do not use any form of school management software and instead rely on social media tools to communicate with the parents of enrolled children. Some even use complicated mobile applications that are riddled with unnecessary features, causing inconvenience to both schools and parents alike. This was a primary issue that the client wanted to address and resolve.

To effectively manage communication between parents, educators, and school administration, the school management software needed to be easily accessible for all stakeholders. The market research team suggested a dedicated multi-platform solution that included native iOS and Android applications along with a web-based admin backend to best address this market need.

Having previously worked with Experion to re-engineer a complex on-demand tutoring platform, the client approached the company to develop and deploy the solution they envisioned.

Experion developed both the mobile and web applications for the client, which could be deployed in a SaaS pricing model, keeping the following stakeholders in mind: nursery owners, admins, nurses, teachers, assistants, and parents.

The web portal, developed for the client, contains the following features:

• Nursery Onboarding
• Nursery Management
• Payments & Transactions
• Report Generation

The mobile application was designed to include several features, including but not limited to:

• Announcements: Ability to post announcements to single or multiple groups in the nursery.
• Events: Users can create events for single or multiple groups in the nursery.
• Upload Images & Videos: Ability to add images and videos as activity feeds to everyone in the nursery or to specific groups or students.
• Daily Reports: Ability to create daily reports for each student in the nursery.
• Payments: Parents can use the app to list, view, and make payments corresponding to requests from the nursery.

• Improved monitoring of children’s health and activity
• Enhanced parent experience
• A single comprehensive information repository
• Insightful dashboards that foster healthy behavior and promote a healthy life
