BusinessVision

Vision

One-line: give every school — starting with mid-market schools in Gujarat, India — one affordable, reliable system to run their entire operation, replacing paper registers and a patchwork of disconnected tools.

The problem

Most schools outside the top tier still run on paper attendance registers, spreadsheet fee ledgers, WhatsApp announcements, and manual timetables. The few software options are either expensive, desktop-bound legacy products or generic tools that don’t understand how a school actually works (academic years, class–subject–teacher structure, term fees, transport routes, hostels).

The product

NexSchool is a multi-tenant School ERP delivered as SaaS. One codebase serves many schools; each school (“tenant”) gets:

  • Fully isolated data (tenant_id on every business row) and its own subdomain.
  • A subscription plan that turns modules on or off.
  • Role-based access so admins, teachers, finance staff, and students each see only what they should.

A school admin runs day-to-day work from a web dashboard (admin-web). Teachers and students use a mobile app (Expo/React Native). NexSchool operators manage all schools from a separate control panel.

Who it’s for

  • Primary: mid-market K-12 schools in Gujarat that want to digitise without a big IT budget. Target pricing is roughly ₹50–130 per student per year — deliberately low to win on affordability and reliability.
  • Users within a school: administrators, class teachers, finance staff, students (and, on the roadmap, parents).

Why we win

  1. Fits how schools work — academic years, terms, class/subject/teacher structure, term-based fees, transport and hostel are first-class, not bolted on.
  2. Affordable and multi-tenant — low per-student pricing sustained by shared infrastructure.
  3. Mobile-first for daily use — the people who use it every day (teachers marking attendance, students checking schedules) do it from their phone.
  4. One system, not five — attendance, fees, timetable, transport, hostel, and notifications share one data model.

Where we are

The product is largely built and shipped to production for its core modules. The current focus is reliability, demo polish, and the first revenue lever — online fee collection — ahead of a paid pilot with Gujarat schools. See the Roadmap.
