Student records (class-wise, course wise, year wise), employee records, ongoing courses and much more. It provides neat reports that help you in the quick analysis, which ultimately results in faster decision making.

Reduced stationery costs

According to an article on Edutopia, around $25,000/year is spent on paper alone by a school with a capacity of 100 teachers in the US. Not to forget other costs including printing and stationery.  

The education industry relies heavily on paper and stationery. While it can’t end it completely, it can definitely be minimized.
