Questions, answered
Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.
Is this a full accounting ERP?+
It is an operational finance layer for school workflows. Validate general-ledger and statutory requirements before replacing an accounting system.
Before the first collection cycle, reconcile one paid, partially paid, and overdue student account so the family receipt and finance view agree. Keep any tax, gateway, refund, or accounting boundary as an explicit deployment decision.
Can finance see vendor bills beside fee collections?+
Vendor and fee operations are designed to share school context and leadership reporting.
Before the first collection cycle, reconcile one paid, partially paid, and overdue student account so the family receipt and finance view agree. Keep any tax, gateway, refund, or accounting boundary as an explicit deployment decision.
Does it replace our accounting system?+
No. Validate the school’s general-ledger, statutory, bank-reconciliation, and accounting-export requirements separately.
Treat that boundary as an explicit procurement or deployment decision. Document the responsible owner and any supporting process before rollout.
