10 checks before you choose a school ERP
Fees and online payments
Fee structures per class, instalments or quarters, transport fees, itemised receipts and online payment that lands in the school’s own bank account.
Parent portal
Parents should pay fees, download receipts and see notices without phoning the office.
Role-based access
Separate logins for management, office, teachers and parents, each seeing only what they need.
Admissions to records
Enquiries should flow into admissions and then into student records without retyping.
Attendance and exams
Daily attendance, absence alerts, marks entry, admit cards and report cards.
Data privacy and separation
Student data must be visible only to the school’s authorised users.
Works on any phone
Parents and teachers mostly use phones, so the ERP must work well in a mobile browser.
Getting your data in
Templates to import existing classes, fee structures and students from spreadsheets.
Transparent pricing
A clear per-student price with no hidden setup charge, so the cost grows with the school.
Setup and support
Someone who sets up the school, trains the office and answers questions quickly.

Frequently asked questions
What is a school ERP?
A school ERP (enterprise resource planning) system is software that runs a school’s daily work in one place: admissions, student records, fees and online payments, attendance, exams and report cards, transport, staff and communication with parents.
Which is the best school ERP in India?
The best school ERP is the one that fits your school’s size, fee process and budget. Compare fees and online payments, the parent portal, role-based logins, attendance and exams, data privacy, phone use, data import, pricing and support. SchoolAssembly by WebbyteLabs is built around this checklist for Indian schools.
How much does a school ERP cost in India?
Most school ERPs charge per student per year or per month, sometimes with a setup fee. SchoolAssembly charges per active student per day: Standard is free for a new school’s first year and then ₹0.30, and Advanced is ₹0.50. For 500 students that is about ₹4,500 or ₹7,500 a month.
What is the difference between a school ERP and school management software?
In India the terms are used for the same thing: one online system for admissions, students, fees, attendance, exams and parents. SchoolAssembly is both a school ERP and a school management system.
How long does it take to start using a school ERP?
With SchoolAssembly, WebbyteLabs creates the school and its School Admin login, then the Accountant imports classes, fee structures and students from CSV templates. A school can start collecting fees as soon as students and fee structures are added.
