FAQ
Common questions from principals and trustees.
We're using Smart School / Fedena today. Can you migrate our data?
Yes. We've built migration adapters for Smart School, Fedena, MyClassCampus, Vidyalaya and most regional PHP school suites. Student master, parent linkage, fee structure, last 2 sessions of marks and attendance — all imported. Typical migration runs over a weekend with a 2-week parallel run.
Do parents really use WhatsApp messaging? Won't SMS do?
Open rates in our pilots: WhatsApp 92%, SMS 31%, Email 18%. WhatsApp also lets you send the marksheet PDF, fee receipt PDF, transport tracker link — SMS can't carry those. We send both channels by default, but real engagement is on WhatsApp.
How does CBSE Examination addon differ from the base Examination module?
The CBSE addon adds board-specific templates: term-wise weightage (40+60), grading scale (A1…E2), co-scholastic + life-skill ratings, work-experience hours, attendance footer, principal signature panel. Also includes Excel export in the exact format the CBSE board portal expects.
Can teachers run live classes from the app?
Yes — Gmeet Live Class and Zoom Live Class addons auto-create meeting links per section, per timetable slot. Students join with one tap from the mobile app. Attendance is captured from the Meet / Zoom roster. The recording link is automatically attached to the lesson plan for absent students.
Is the Mobile App built in Flutter or React Native?
Flutter 3. One codebase produces native Android + iOS builds with full platform fidelity (Material 3 on Android, Cupertino on iOS). White-label on Premium tier — your school name + logo + colors on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Can we deploy on-prem instead of your cloud?
Yes — Premium tier ships with Docker Compose and Kubernetes manifests for on-prem deployment. Common for trusts that need data residency or have an existing data centre. Source-code escrow + 6-month transition clause is part of the Premium contract.
