School ERP Glossary

Plain-English definitions of the school-ERP and Indian-education terms you'll meet when choosing software — from ERP and SIS to CBSE FA/SA, BSEB and the WhatsApp Business API.

School ERP

School ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is cloud software that runs a school's day-to-day operations — admissions, fees, attendance, exams, payroll and parent communication — from one dashboard. See EduGradUP's ERP.

SIS (Student Information System)

A centralised database that stores every student record — admissions, demographics, attendance, marks, fees and certificates — and powers one-click documents like Transfer Certificate (TC) and bonafide. More on SIS.

CBSE FA/SA

Under CBSE's assessment pattern, FA (Formative Assessment) is continuous in-term evaluation and SA (Summative Assessment) is the term-end exam. Report cards combine both, with scholastic and co-scholastic areas.

Fee defaulter

A student whose fees are overdue. Fee modules auto-flag defaulters and can send WhatsApp/SMS reminders to parents, improving collection rates. Fee management.

BSEB

Bihar School Examination Board — the state board for Bihar. BSEB-ready ERPs generate Bihar-format report cards and Medhasoft-compatible exports. BSEB ERP.

Medhasoft

The Bihar government portal used by schools for student and scholarship data. BSEB-ready ERPs export records in a Medhasoft-compatible format so admins avoid manual re-entry.

WhatsApp Business API

The official Meta API that lets schools send automated WhatsApp messages — fee reminders, attendance and result alerts — to parents. Messages are billed per conversation by Meta, separate from the ERP subscription.

Multi-tenant

An architecture where each school's data is isolated in its own logical space on shared cloud infrastructure, keeping records private and secure while one platform serves many schools.

Multi-Branch / Multi-Campus Dashboard

A portfolio-level dashboard that lets school owners and trustees monitor attendance, fee collection, exam results and staff activity across every branch or campus from a single login, with drill-down to a single classroom and role-based access so each branch head sees only their own branch. Multi-branch solution · For owners & trustees.

Multilingual

Available in 6 Languages

EduGradUP works in English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. The whole interface is translated — dashboards, fee receipts, attendance registers, report cards, the parent app and WhatsApp notification templates — not just the menus.

Language is a per-user setting, not a school-wide one. A principal can work in English while the office clerk uses Marathi and a parent reads notices in Tamil — all inside the same school account, with no separate installation and no per-language licence fee. Urdu renders right-to-left throughout.

Switch anytime from Settings → Language. Regional-language support is included in every plan, starting at ₹9,000/year.
