Three things we do better
Schoolites Genie AI Assistant — included
A school-trained AI inside the admin panel. Drafts circulars, summarises fee collection, answers contextual queries about your students and timetable. Worth ₹5K–₹25K/month if bought separately; included here.
OCR admission form scanner
Scan paper admission forms, Aadhaar or TCs and Schoolites auto-creates the student profile. Cuts hours of admission-desk re-typing.
Single flat plan, every module
No per-module hunting. WhatsApp, biometric, transport, hostel, library, payroll, ID-card printing — all in the ₹10/student/month plan. Plus 0% payment-gateway markup.
In fairness to Edumaat
We don't believe in pretending the competition has zero strengths.
Familiarity for existing customers
If your staff has been trained on Edumaat for years, switching includes a change-management cost. Schoolites covers training free, but expect a few weeks of getting-used-to.
