School Website – do you update your School web site regularly ?


website for schools marvelsoft.co.inYour School has a website. Do you update your web site regularly. Do your visitors get to know the latest updates about your school? if your answer is no, read on.,

Lets go back, why your school decided to have a website?

You wanted to share to the world about your school vision, mission, achievements, about children, their achievements, teachers achievements etc.,

when you first came to know about websites and all the benefits which you would get by having a website, You wanted to share about your school’s philosophy. curriculum, day  to day activities, news, events, photos of staff, children, facilities, school activities etc., Right!

Then what happened? why your  school website is not updated regularly?

May be because, you have to contact the website design company every time to update the content? The people are not accessible? the person who designed the website is no more responding to your call?   You don’t know how to edit html as the website is static. or You have designed the static website and you have to spend your precious time to update the content as no one in your school is familiar with html coding?

we integrate content management system to your school website. you can update the website content on your own. no need to know anything about html (basic knowledge is added advantage).

Student Progress Report Card Generation – does your school still do it manually?


When it comes to school management, there are two faces to the complexity of how efficiently you manage your school, first how efficiently you manage school’s academic activities, secondly  how you can manage your administrative activities, within the available resources i.e, staff and teachers when your school is rapidly growing without overloading your teaching or non-teaching staff with unrelated tasks in their  day to day activities. This is one of the main problem that every school has to address at some point when you are growing.

In this blog post we will only focus on one of the main academic activity which involves teachers, parents and management, i.e., students performance evaluation, progress report generation and communication. Progress report generation is based on every student’s scholastic and co-scholastic evaluation. It involves two aspects, firstly teaches have to continuously monitor and evaluate their respective class students in both scholastic and co-scholastic (Part A and Part B subjects in case of State Board) areas by conducting regular tests and exams, which is inline with their primary responsibility of Teaching and evaluating students, as we all agree.

However, most of the time in reality, Teachers also have to spend their precious time preparing the progress report by hand doing all the calculation such as grades, percentages for each and every student which is very tedious and time consuming. Though some of the schools use microsoft excel or spread sheets programs, initially it appears to solve the problem of generating progress report, but at some point this method also becomes unmanageable.

Imagine each and every class teacher spending time with their respective class student’s parent in communication of the same, also management / principal’s involvement in communication and students performance improvement plan discussions in parent teacher meetings. Each and Every time these discussions takes place, you need to have these details communicated in memos, letters, dairies etc., which will not give any body involved in these activities a cumulative view of the evaluation and student’s development plan, information is spread across papers, people and various other mediums. Also, there is barely a historic data that relates past discussion or evaluations to the present and future of student’s performance and improvement plan.

If you automate this problem area of capturing of every students performance or progress information in their raw form into a School Management System, The system will do all the necessary calculations based on the predefined and configurable scholastic or co-scholastic skills or criteria’s and it posts the information into the respective parents dashboard which will be made available online  in the Internet. Teaching staff can input their raw evaluation data into the system in their free time regardless of where they are.  The online school management system can generate the progress report and generate email / sms to inform the parents instantly when the final data in ready.  Parents can access this data on the go from their mobile via SMS and they can also log-in to school management system and access the progress report, various other information such as their children profile, fees etc.  They can even contact the principal / respective class teachers to know more about their children’s progress through one to one messages. School can even post messages on the online notice board., This solves all of the problems which we discussed in this blog post about the laborious and repetitive nature of the progress report card data collection,  generation and communication.

our MarvelSoft School Management System address above mentioned problem through progress card generation module which supports State Syllabus progress reports, CBSE CCE progress reports, ICSE and IGCSE reports, also it support configurable customizations to support  unique evaluation methods which might be followed in your School.

contact us to schedule a online demo at your school. If you have any queries or feedback, please send us an email to info@marvelsoft.co.in.

Send Bulk SMS or Email from the MarvelSoft Bulk SMS Software and School ERP System


One of the main advantage of MarvelSoft School Management System when compared to any other bulk sms software or school erp software is you can send both bulk sms and bulk emails directly, all the information required to send the messages can be pulled from the Marvelsoft school management system. No need to type / update / modify information in multiple places.

Provide your any of the SMS gateway or service providers login details and you can directly connect to your sms service provider to send the sms messages. No need to import or export the mobile numbers. Maintain student information, message templates, sms send schedules with in your MarvelSoft school erp system.

The same message templates can be used to send the bulk email message, again personalizing them before sending to the parents. You can also send rich text messages by embedding online images and content.



How to choose best SMS Software for Schools in India?


The regular bulk SMS service providers support sending of SMS from excel plugin or from a standalone sms software or from a online website. This type of bulk sms service is only suitable for marketing and advertisement purposes. When the messages are targeted and unique to every student and parent in the school, these online or offline sms softwares do not help and you have to manually type the message to each and every one separately. It  is as good as sending sms from your mobile phone. managing the mobile numbers, students class/section/grade details is very difficult in such software or services.

The main advantage of sending bulk SMS’s from marvelsoft schoooladmin school erp is that, You can send targeted and personalized messages to parents and students at anytime. You can send messages including the students current class, section details, admission number etc., you can use generic templates and store them with variables, which gets replaced with individual student specific messages or information just before the messages are sent to the bulk sms gateways.

Say for example you would like to send birthday wishes to the parents on the day of their children birthday, from a regular sms software you have to manually type the message by looking through a database of students and then type or schedule a message. The marvelsoft school erp fetches you the list of students and their birthday’s on a given date and in one shot you can send SMS’s to all of them. If you would like to send transport delay sms to parents you can instantly send to the parents from the transport module, which is not possible from other software’s.

You can send SMS to entire class / section on their individual performance  to their respective parents in one go, which is not possible from any regular bulk sms softwares.

How sending bulk sms’s from marvelsoft school erp is different from sending from free sms services? why do we have to buy sms’s when there are so many free services are avilable?

The free sms service providers do not support sending personalized messages to each and every parent in one go. i.e., for every parent you must type the message separately when the messages are different for different parent. say for example attendance and progress details which are unique to every student.

Also these free service providers will combine advertisement information from their customers into your sms. it would create annoyance to parents, also 30-60 characters in the message text will be wasted. The messages sent from the free services will have your name as the sender id. In case of marvelsoft school erp or school sms software you would get a 8 character text Sender Id.

The free SMS services will have daily limit, where as when you send from our sms service there will not be any daily limit., you can send as many sms as required as long as you have sufficient sms credit.

you can send sms to any city or state with in india when you use bulk sms service. even if the parents are traveling or located in different places in india, they will be able to receive sms from our erp software.

How fast the SMS’s are delivered from school erp ?

Typically in case of bulk sms services or service providers will have three kinds of delivery modes based on the speed with which the messages are delivered to the intended recipients i.e., marketing route – which will be very slow, it would take anywhere from 1 hour to 1 day. service route – which would take any where between 10miniutes to 6 hours approximately., and critical route – in which case the messages are delivered instantly without any delay in some cases it might take up to 30 minutes.

MarvelSoft School ERP solution/SMS software for the schools uses critical route to deliver sms to the parents, the moment schools send the sms to the parents or staff, they are delivered instantly.

The limitations of bulk sms’s compared to messages sent from regular mobile phones -

In india as of september 26/09/2011 – you can send maximum of 100 sms per day from your mobile phone.

But bulk sms service has no such restrictions. you can send as many sms as possible. however, if you are sending marketing sms’s the message sent to NDNC ( National Do Not Call Registered mobile numbers) will not be delivered, as TRAI has strictly mandated every bulk sms provider to check the number and block if the number is registered in NDNC.

Also, the messages send after 9PM will be delivered next day, when the messages are non transactional.

Read about latest regulations and limitations imposed by TRAI in india – click here

The marvelsoft school erp sms module uses critical route for sending sms, which are transactional in nature. the schools can send sms to the parents to alert the parents on the events and activities of their children on daily basis. This type of bulk sms comes under educational purpose and transactional in nature.



School Management can now send SMS and Email Alerts to Parents


school software send sms, email alerts to parentsWe have introduced SMS, Email feature in SchoolAdmin. It is one of the most requested feature from our existing customers. Before we start introducing you to this feature. we would like to share few of the problems that is faced by the Schools and Educational institutions in communicating with parents / guardians.

The main problem in traditional approach of communicating with parents about their children is their reach ability. In traditional communication medium such as School Notice Board, Students Dairy  60 to 70% of the time the information may not reach the parents. They might be busy with their day to day activities and may not get sufficient time to look  into the dairy or visit the school to find out about their children progress due to urban life style, some times they might be traveling,  some children may be living in hostel or with their relatives. In such situations the required information takes more time than usual to reach the parents.  In today’s situations, its more important that the schools must be able to reach the parents anytime they want. Some of you might say that they can call the parents directly., but for the regular updates to parents on daily basis calling all the parents every time for the casual updates and information which has to be communicated to parents but it is not critical that they should be called in such cases telephone / mobile call would actually disturb or create unnecessary panic in the parents.

SMS and Email provide a  non intrusive way to communicate or pass on the information to the parents instantly.
