Schools juggle admissions, fee collection, attendance, exams and parent messages, often across separate apps, Excel files and WhatsApp groups. School management software development in Surat at Mind Over Matter Technologies (MOMT) brings those into one system for the office, teachers and parents, designed around your board, your fee structure and the way your school talks to families.

Schools we build for

CBSE, GSEB and ICSE schools, English and Gujarati medium, pre-schools, and trusts running several branches. Coaching institutes with batches and test series can use the same base with different modules.

Modules

  • Admissions: online enquiry and application forms, document upload, interview or test scheduling, and a student record that follows the child through every year.
  • Fees: fee heads, instalments, concessions, sibling discounts, transport fees and late fees, online payment through a gateway such as Razorpay, instant receipts, and a defaulter list with WhatsApp reminders.
  • Attendance: class-wise attendance marked from the teacher's phone, with same-day absence messages to parents.
  • Timetable: class and teacher timetables, with substitutions when a teacher is absent.
  • Exams and report cards: marks entry by subject teachers, grading in your board's pattern and printable report cards.
  • Homework and circulars: posted once, seen by every parent in the class.
  • Parent app: a React Native app for Android and iOS showing attendance, fees, homework, results and circulars in your school's name.
  • Transport: bus routes, stops and student allocation, linked to transport fees.
  • Staff: staff records and attendance, with payroll through our HRMS and payroll software.

Our experience with education and payments

We have built a student portal integrated with Odoo ERP, and booking and payment platforms in healthcare. Both involved the same core needs as a school system: clean records, role-based access, reliable online payments and clear receipts. See the portfolio.

A school app subscription or your own system?

Many school apps are sold on a yearly fee per student, and for a single small school that can be the sensible choice. Your own system makes sense when you run several branches, have fee rules the apps cannot handle, want the parent app under your school's name, or want student data held in an account the trust controls.

Timeline and cost

Plan the build so it is ready before admissions open or a new session starts. A first release with admissions, fees and attendance typically takes 4–8 weeks, and exams, the parent app and transport follow. Weekly demos run on a live preview link, and launch includes a 30-day warranty. Our listed plans start at ₹1.5 lakh for custom builds; you get a fixed quote for your scope. See pricing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will parents get an app on both Android and iOS?
Yes. We build the parent app in React Native, so one codebase runs on Android and iOS, published under your school's name.
Can parents pay fees online?
Yes. Fees can be paid through a payment gateway such as Razorpay by UPI, card or net banking. Receipts are issued instantly and the fee ledger updates on its own.
Does it work for Gujarati-medium schools?
Yes. Screens, report cards, circulars and parent messages can be in Gujarati, English or both.
Can one system run several branches?
Yes. Each branch has its own classes, fees and staff, and the trust or management sees combined reports across branches.
Can we move our existing student data?
Yes. Student records, fee balances and past results can be imported from Excel or exports from your current software, and checked with your office before go-live.
How is student data protected?
Access is limited by role, so teachers see their classes and parents see only their own children. Data is hosted on AWS in an account the school controls, with regular backups.
