Comprehensive School Management Software

SoftPortals (by SoftPlanet Technologies) is a comprehensive school management software essentially built to simplify the centralized and coordinated administration of schools - especially those with high student populations or multiple campuses.

We believe a good school administrative software should be robust enough to handle both simple and otherwise complex tasks with relative simplicity and grace. It should never come in your way. We believe a school should not be obliged to change its workflow just to suit the software it uses. Rather, it should be the other way round. The software should be flexible and malleable enough to fit into any school's existing workflows.

SoftPortals has been designed in such a way that it does not come in your way in any way. It makes no assumptions on how you want to run your school. You are always in charge. With SoftPortals, you have an all-in-one digital solution that handles both complex and simple tasks exactly how you want them handled.

SoftPortals Features

The SoftPortals school management platform comprises two components: a web-based portal for staff and management and a mobile app for parents and guardians. The portal offers general school administrative features, while the parental app enables parents to access information about their respective wards on their phones.

School App

The school app essentially aims to bridge the physical gaps between students (in their classrooms and hostels) and parents (in their homes and offices). It enables parents/guardians to, among other things:

  • View their wards’ homework, classwork, test and exam scores
  • View bills and debts
  • Download payment receipts
  • Access attendance information
  • Access punctuality and disciplinary information
  • Download report sheets
  • Download midterm reports
  • Vote during PTA meetings (even without being physically present)
  • Send their opinions in a digital suggestion box

Computer-Based Testing (CBT)

Our CBT package is sophisticated and works both online and offline. Below is a list of some of its more notable features:

  • Seamless upload of questions from Microsoft Word (.docx) documents.
  • Supports shuffling of both questions and options
  • Supports grouping of questions
  • Supports grouping of tests
  • Student answers can be downloaded (in pdf format)
  • Tests can be re-marked in case a teacher mistakenly specifies a wrong option as an answer.
  • Statistical breakdown of performance, e.g: the number and names of students who missed or skipped each question can be viewed

Report sheets, midterm reports, transcripts and broad sheets generation

One aspect that makes the SoftPortals platform especially useful to administrators is the fact that it does not merely generate report sheets; it also helps in analyzing them.

The scores & results module offers the following features:

  • Report sheets generation (regardless of the result format of your school)
  • Midterm reports generation
  • Transcripts generation
  • Broadsheets generation
  • Generated report sheets and midterm reports can be downloaded directly by parents via the provided school app

Fees management

  • Bills and receipts generation and download
  • Payment history on student profile page
  • Discounts and scholarships
  • Automatic assignment of fees to new students
  • Payment reversal
  • Possibility of direct online payment integration (if needed)
  • Automated reminders to owing parents

Student Attendance

Teachers can take attendance with ease. All students are marked present by default, so all a teacher has to do is to indicate only those students that are absent. Management can then check the names of students who are absent for the day or have been absent for the past one week, two weeks, one month or since the beginning of the term. Attendance sheets can be downloaded for each class and can be printed out if needed.

Staff Attendance

There is also a provision for staff attendance. Every member of staff shall be required to scan a barcode upon arrival at the school. This logs their arrival time. They can also clock out of the school at closing time.

Timetable Generation

SoftPortals also has a timetable module which automates timetable generation. With just a single click, timetables can be generated for all classes. The timetable generated for each class can be adjusted manually if needed.

Store Management

The store management module keeps an inventory of all items in the store. Different kinds of stores can be created for different types of items. For example, one could create a store for the kitchen and another one for books and stationery.

Expenditure Management

All forms of expenses can be managed and tracked. With proper use of this feature, school administrators do not need to be physically present in their schools before expenditure approvals are made - they can attend to expenditure requests on the portal directly.

Human Resources and Payroll Management

The portal provides a comprehensive and structured HR and payroll module. It judiciously takes care of the following payroll aspects:

  • Salaries
  • Allowances
  • Bonuses
  • Taxes
  • Pension savings
  • Deductions

Assets Management

All forms of assets – chairs, tables, flower vases, air conditioners, printers, computers, smart boards, school buses, etc. – can be tracked. The module takes care of every important aspect of the life cycle of an asset – from purchase, usage, maintenance, movements from one location to another (for movable assets), to eventual retirement.

Project Management

Any kind of project – renovations or constructions – can also be tracked. This feature is quite robust. The name, phone number and address of each contractor can be tracked, as well as the estimated and actual costs of each item. Payments made for each stage of completion of the project can also be tracked.

Budgeting

The system has a robust budgeting module which takes care of all phases of budgeting - from preparation and approval to tracking budget performance. One can easily check the amount that is left of whatever is budgeted for any item at any point in time
