Eight connected ERP suites cover every office in your school, and Assist covers every classroom. Together they make one school management system with a mobile app for parents and staff. They share one database, so a student added at admission is already in attendance, fees, the bus list, the report card and the parent app. Start with what you need and switch on the rest as you grow.

From the first bus to the last bell, nothing slips through.
Every school day brings the same pressure points: buses, absent teachers, attendance, fees, enquiries, homework. Here's what one ordinary Wednesday looks like when Schoolcanvas runs the school.
Parents see the bus coming. The office phone stays quiet.
Twelve buses leave the depot. Every one updates its location every 5 seconds, so parents watch the bus approach their stop in the app instead of calling the office, and the office stops calling drivers on the road. The bus attendant marks who boarded on the staff app, so the school knows exactly which children are on which bus.
- Speed is monitored all the way, with high-speed reports for every bus
- A breakdown or route change alerts parents at once
- Next stop: Anna Nagar 2nd Ave 5 min
- Speed 34 km/h
- Students on board 38 / 41
Two teachers are absent. Substitutions are sorted before the first bell.
Staff attendance comes in from the biometric device, so the timetable already knows who isn't here. Schoolcanvas suggests free teachers of the same subject for every period, the coordinator confirms in a few clicks, and substitute teachers are informed. No phone calls at 7:45, no class left unattended.
- Same-subject substitutes suggested first
- Free-teacher lists and substitution reports keep workloads fair

Attendance in seconds, and every parent of an absent child knows by 8:30.
Class teachers open the Schoolcanvas teacher app and mark only who is absent or late. Monthly, term and yearly percentages calculate themselves, and parents of absent children get an alert on the app, by SMS or on WhatsApp, in English, Hindi or their own language. Prefer automation? Biometric and RFID devices work too.
- No registers to total at month-end
- Attendance flows into report cards automatically

It's the fee due date. The counter is quiet.
Three days ago every parent received the exact amount due, head by head, with a payment link on WhatsApp. Most have already paid by UPI, card or net banking from home, through Razorpay, Cashfree, CCAvenue or BillDesk, and the money settled straight into the school's account. Those who prefer cash still pay at the counter, kiosk or POS, and everything lands in the same records and in Tally.
- Concessions, sibling discounts, scholarships, late fines and instalments handled
- Live collection dashboard on the owner's phone
- Tuition fee ₹15,000
- Transport (Route 7) ₹3,500
- Paid via UPI · 10:14 am
A parent enquires during lunch break. Nobody has to be at the desk.
The admission bot on your school website answers the parent's questions and records the enquiry. It joins every walk-in, phone call and branch enquiry in one list, and the counsellor follows up on WhatsApp the same afternoon. The parent applies online, uploads documents, pays the registration fee and books an interview slot. Once confirmed, the enquiry becomes a student record in one click.
- Entrance tests with e-call letters and tokens
- Live seat availability, class by class
Homework is home before the children are. Report cards take minutes, not weeks.
Teachers post homework from the app using ready subject formats, and it reaches parents instantly. In exam season they enter marks once in their own login, and Schoolcanvas builds the class register, the term report, result analysis and report cards in your board's exact format, including the Holistic Progress Card, then publishes them to the parent app.

The owner checks the whole school, or every school, from the sofa.
Students, attendance, fees collected and overdue, new enquiries, staff present, visitors and buses: the dashboard shows the day at a glance, for one campus or the whole group. Expense approvals arrive on the phone with your limits applied, and 500+ ready reports, or your own from the report builder, answer every question the trustees ask.

9:30 pm. The school is quiet. Schoolcanvas isn't. Meet the silent superstars that worked through every hour of today, so tomorrow starts ready.
Ready for your board, your parents and your paperwork.
Global school management software doesn't know what a TC is, why fee day matters, or that half your parents prefer WhatsApp in Tamil or Hindi. Schoolcanvas has been built in Chennai, with Indian schools, since 2009.
Every board, every format
CBSE, ICSE, state boards and international curricula, including co-scholastic areas and the Holistic Progress Card under NEP 2020.
UDISE+ and APAAR
Integrated with UDISE+ and APAAR, so the data you already keep serves your government submissions.
UPI and Indian gateways
Razorpay, Cashfree, CCAvenue and BillDesk, with payments settled straight into the school's account.
Your parents' language
WhatsApp, SMS, app and voice calls in English, Hindi and regional languages, so every message is understood.
Tally, end to end
Fees, expenses and payroll reach your Tally books without being entered twice.
PF, ESI and TDS
Statutory payroll for teaching and non-teaching staff, with biometric devices like eSSL and BioMax.
The details that make school life easier.
Big features get the attention, but it's the small, well-thought-out details that save your office an hour a day. These are the ones our schools mention most.
Certificates in your own format
Design every certificate, from TC to bonafide and conduct, with your letterhead, wording and signatures. Then generate it from the student's record in minutes, even for a student who left ten years ago.

Teacher and parent numbers stay private
Messages go out in the school's name. Parents see the teacher's name in the app, never their phone number, and teachers never see parents' numbers.
Your school's own app
Parents download an app in your school's name and logo from Google Play and the App Store. Hundreds of schools already have theirs, with 1 million+ downloads in total.
Every complaint tracked to closure
Parents get a complaint ID and a resolution time. It goes to the right person, and the principal is alerted if it slips, without stepping into every case.
- Assigned to Transport in-charge
- Priority High
OTP-verified gate passes
When a child leaves early, the parent's OTP confirms it. Every visitor is logged at the gate, so you always know who is on campus.
Teacher first. AI second.
Good, experienced teachers are hard to find, the syllabus keeps changing, and there's never enough time to prepare. Assist gives every teacher a complete, always-updated toolkit for every chapter from Nursery to Grade 12, so even a new teacher delivers a strong lesson in their first week.
Walk in prepared
Animated conceptual presentations for the smart board, concept and refresher videos, 2D/3D visuals and lesson plans aligned with NEP and NCF.
Practice for each child
Bloom's-taxonomy worksheets, plus dynamic worksheets that keep assigning until each student reaches the score you set.

- Fractions Practise
- Decimals Mastered
AI-Play: 10+ AI tools, no prompts to learn. Lesson plans, power questions, quizzes, worksheets, question paper validation and more. Every AI draft is reviewed by the teacher, and student data is never used to train public AI models.

Questions schools ask us before they switch.
What is a school ERP?
A school ERP (enterprise resource planning) is one system that runs a school's daily work: admissions, student records, attendance, fees, exams and report cards, timetable, transport, staff and payroll, with a mobile app that keeps parents and staff informed. It is also called school management software or a school management system. Schoolcanvas ERP groups this work into 8 connected suites with 50+ modules. For a fuller picture, read what is a school ERP and what it does in a normal school day.
Which is the best school ERP software in India?
There is no single best school ERP for every school. The right one depends on your school's size, board and the modules you need. Compare the modules, the mobile app for parents and staff, data security, support and how long it takes to go live, and try it with your own data before you decide. Schoolcanvas has worked with Indian schools since 2009 and is used by 1000+ schools, with 50+ modules, 500+ ready reports and a 99% renewal rate. You can be live in 7 days when your data is ready, and a 1-month free trial lets you test it first. Our checklist on how to choose school ERP software covers each of these points.
How long does it take to get started?
Usually 7 days. If your data is ready, we guarantee you'll be live in 7 days, and some schools have gone live in 2. We move your existing data from Excel or another software for free, and train your staff online or at your school. Our guide sets out a go-live plan your staff can follow.
Do we have to buy every module?
No. Start with the suites you need today and add more whenever your school is ready. Every suite shares the same data, so nothing has to be set up twice.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can try Schoolcanvas and Assist free for a month. Book a demo and we'll set it up with your school's details.
Does Schoolcanvas work for our board?
Yes. Schools use Schoolcanvas with CBSE, ICSE, state boards and international curricula. Report cards follow your exact format, including co-scholastic areas and the Holistic Progress Card.
Can we message parents on WhatsApp and in our local language?
Yes. Announcements, homework, fee reminders and alerts go by WhatsApp, SMS, app notification or voice call, in English, Hindi and regional languages.
Can we manage several branches together?
Yes. Groups and franchise schools run every campus from one login, with a wide range of multi-school reports and their own group dashboard.
Can parents pay fees online?
Yes. Parents pay by UPI, card or net banking through Razorpay, Cashfree, CCAvenue and BillDesk, and the money settles straight into the school's account. Your counter, kiosk and POS keep working too.
Does it work with Tally?
Yes. Schoolcanvas has complete, end-to-end Tally integration, so fees, expenses and payroll reach your books without being entered twice.
Is Schoolcanvas a cloud-based school ERP with a mobile app?
Yes. Schoolcanvas runs on a private cloud in a tier-IV data centre in India, with four backup copies, and parents and every staff member use the Android and iOS apps. Your data belongs to your school.
Is our school's data safe?
Yes. Data is hosted in a tier-IV data centre in India with four backup copies and role-based access, under ISO 9001:2015 and CMMI Level 4 processes. Your data belongs to your school, it is never used to train AI, and Schoolcanvas is DPDP-ready.
What support do we get?
Call us Monday to Friday 9 am – 6 pm or Saturday 9 am – 4 pm and a support expert responds within 5 minutes. You also get a dedicated account manager, staff training, and email and chat support.
Can we buy Assist without the ERP?
Yes. Assist works on its own on any smart screen, and connects with the Schoolcanvas ERP if you use both, so marks flow into report cards and the parent app.
Which classes and boards does Assist cover?
Nursery to Grade 12, for CBSE, ICSE and state boards, with higher-order questions for IIT-JEE and Olympiad preparation. Our academic team keeps the content updated as the curriculum changes.
