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 (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.
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.
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.
A student whose fees are overdue. Fee modules auto-flag defaulters and can send WhatsApp/SMS reminders to parents, improving collection rates. Fee management.
Bihar School Examination Board — the state board for Bihar. BSEB-ready ERPs generate Bihar-format report cards and Medhasoft-compatible exports. BSEB ERP.
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.
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.
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.
