In 2026, an Indian school without a mobile app is a school falling behind. Parents expect the same instant access to their child's school information that they already get from their bank, their cab booking and their grocery delivery app. Teachers need tools that work from the classroom, not just the staff room.
Pathshala ERP gives you two dedicated apps — one for parents, one for teachers — both on Android and iOS.
For Parents (free download): - Pay fees instantly via UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm) - Real-time attendance alerts when the child is marked absent - Exam results and term-wise report cards - School calendar, holidays and PTM dates - Live school bus tracking with arrival ETA - Direct messaging with class teacher and admin - Homework, photos and event videos shared by school
For Teachers (free download): - Mark attendance in 30 seconds, even from inside the classroom - Enter and publish exam grades - Share homework, worksheets and reading lists - Send class-wide announcements to parents - View personal timetable and apply for leave - Access student profiles, parent contact and previous performance
What school management app means for your school
If you searched for school management app, you’re likely trying to reduce manual work, improve parent communication, and get real-time visibility into fees and academics. Pathshala ERP is a cloud-based school ERP built for Indian schools in tier-2 and tier-3 cities — where WhatsApp-first communication, UPI payments, and board-compliant report cards matter.
Who is Pathshala ERP best for?
- School owners & directors who want monthly visibility (fees pending, admissions pipeline, staff performance) without chasing reports.
- Principals who need faster decisions with dashboards, not paperwork.
- Admin teams tired of fee queues, manual receipts, and Excel reconciliation.
- Teachers who want attendance, homework, and marks entry to take minutes — not hours.
- Parents who expect instant updates about fees, attendance, results, and circulars.
What you can automate (modules you’ll actually use)
A good school ERP isn’t about having 100 features — it’s about automating the 10–12 workflows that consume your staff time every day. With Pathshala ERP, you can digitise the core operations below:
- Parent App (Android & iOS): configure once, then run the workflow consistently across classes and terms.

How implementation works (simple, guided, and fast)
- Demo + requirement mapping: we understand your current process and the reports you need.
- Setup: classes, sections, fee heads, exam patterns, and roles configured for your school.
- Data migration: student list and basic records migrated from Excel/CSV (as available).
- Training: short sessions for admin + teachers; we keep it practical and workflow-based.

Common questions before choosing a school ERP
- Will teachers actually use it? Yes — when the workflow is simple. That’s why we focus on fast attendance, easy marks entry, and one-tap communication.
- Can we start small? Yes — most schools begin with fees + attendance + communication, then add exams and other modules.
- Is it mobile-friendly? Yes — schools need mobile-first access for teachers and parents, especially in tier-2/3 cities.
- Will parents adopt it? Adoption improves when you combine app notifications with WhatsApp updates and clear fee receipts.
