Custom vs Ready-Made School ERP

Ready-made software is quick to start but may not match your fee structure or report card format. A custom school ERP fits your exact process and has no per-student licence fee.

Implementation Tips

• Start with fees and attendance — they give the fastest benefit
• Import old student data before session start
• Train one admin and one teacher per class first
