School management software for school owners who want the real numbers.

Schoolcanvas is school management software for school owners and trustees who decide and pay, but are not in the office every day. Fees, admissions, staff cost and parent complaints sit on one live dashboard, so you stop waiting for someone to compile them.

The owner’s Monday morning

Four questions about your school, answered before your first call.

You should not need a meeting to learn how the school is doing. Open the summary on your phone and the four answers that matter most are already there.

  1. 1Money in

    Are we collecting what we are owed?

    Collected, overdue and upcoming fees on one screen. Reminders go out with the exact amount and a payment link, so nobody has to chase.

    See Finance →
  2. 2Next year’s income

    Will next year’s classes fill?

    Every enquiry is tracked with its follow-ups, next to class-wise seat availability and conversion analysis.

    See Admissions →
  1. 3Reputation

    Is anything hurting our name?

    Each parent complaint gets an ID, a person responsible and a deadline. If it slips, the principal or management is alerted.

    See Communication →
  2. 4Your biggest cost

    Are staff in, and is the salary bill right?

    Biometric attendance feeds leave and payroll, with PF, ESI and TDS handled and HR approving before salaries run.

    See HR & Payroll →

The other risk is hiring. When a good teacher leaves mid-year, Assist’s ready lessons, presentations and refresher videos help the new teacher teach a strong lesson from the first day.

Control

Money going out, on rules you set once.

Fee collection is half the picture. Owners also answer for what is spent. Every expense and purchase follows the approval chain you decide, and the trail is there when the auditor asks.

  • Limits by roleSmall amounts such as petty cash are approved automatically. Larger ones come to you.
  • Nothing sits unseenAn approval that is overdue escalates, with alerts by email and pop-up.
  • Budgets against last yearPlan by source of funds and see allotment against what was used.
  • Books that matchComplete end-to-end Tally integration, and fees under several trusts collected in one click.
Data and risk

Your school’s data, and your school’s name on it.

Under the DPDP rules, the school is responsible for the personal data it holds about children, parents and staff. This is how Schoolcanvas helps you carry that responsibility.

  • The data is yours

    Your school owns its data. Student data is not used to train public AI models.

  • Kept safe, and kept twice over

    A private cloud in a tier-IV data centre in India, with cloud mirroring and four backup copies.

  • Each person sees their part

    Access is set by role and permission, with biometric and access-code login.

  • Phone numbers stay private

    Teachers and parents cannot see each other’s numbers, and messages go out in the school’s name.

  • Government returns from the same data

    Integrated with UDISE+ and APAAR, so submissions are not a separate project every year.

  • DPDP-ready

    Built to help your school meet its own duties as the DPDP rules phase in through 2027.

Schoolcanvas is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Read how we approach DPDP →
Before you sign

School management software for school owners, without the switching risk.

Owners tell us the software is rarely the worry. The worry is what happens if the switch goes wrong. Here are the five fears we hear most, and our answer to each.

  1. We pay, and it does not suit us.

    Try the ERP and Assist free for a month, set up with your own school’s details, before you commit.

    1 monthfree trial
  2. Years of records get lost in the move.

    We bring your data across from Excel or your old software at no cost, check it with you, and keep supporting migration after go-live.

  3. The rollout drags on for a term.

    If your data is ready, we guarantee you will be live in 7 days. Our fastest school went live in 2.

Questions

Questions owners and trustees ask before they buy.

Cost and switching
How much does Schoolcanvas cost?

We do not publish a price list, because the cost depends on the modules you choose and the size of your school. The free demo ends with a setup plan and a quote for your school, and you can try the ERP and Assist free for a month before you decide.

We already use other software. How risky is it to switch?

Less than most owners expect. We migrate your data from Excel or another school ERP for free and check it with you. If your data is ready, we guarantee you will be live in 7 days, and the fastest school went live in 2.

What support do we get after go-live?

A 5-minute response during support hours (Monday to Friday 9 am to 6 pm, Saturday 9 am to 4 pm), email and chat support, training at your school or online, and a dedicated account manager.

How long has Schoolcanvas been doing this?

Since 2009. More than 1000 schools use Schoolcanvas today, and 99% of our customers stay with us.

Data and control
Who owns our school's data?

Your school does. It is kept on a private cloud in a tier-IV data centre in India with four backup copies, and student data is not used to train public AI models.

Is Schoolcanvas DPDP-ready?

Yes. Schoolcanvas is DPDP-ready, with role-based access, secure hosting and backups that help your school meet its own duties as the DPDP rules phase in. Under the law the school is responsible for the data, and we help you carry that out.

Can I check the school's position without going to the office?

Yes. Management sees the live dashboard of students, fees, staff and admissions, checks the day's collection and approves expenses and purchases from the Schoolcanvas mobile app on Android or iOS.
