Hostel Management Software for Schools
Run your hostel like clockwork. Allocate rooms in seconds, track mess attendance, manage hostel fees, handle visitor entries, leaves & complaints — from one cloud dashboard your warden, principal, and parents can trust.
Everything You Need in One Platform
Built with Indian schools in mind. Cloud-based, mobile-first, and fully integrated.
Smart Room Allocation
Allocate students to rooms by gender, class, age, or custom rules. Track occupancy, vacancies, and roommate history in real time.

Visitor & Gate Pass
Digital visitor entries with photo, OTP-verified gate passes, and instant parent notifications when their child leaves campus.
Hostel Fee Management
Separate hostel fee heads (room, mess, laundry, deposit). Auto-reminders, online payment, and refund handling on check-out.
Leave & Outing Approval
Students/parents request leave from the app. Warden approves with one tap. Late-return alerts sent automatically.

Occupancy Dashboards
Live occupancy %, gender-wise breakdown, room-wise utilization, monthly trends — for principals and trustees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we manage multiple hostels and blocks from one account?
Yes. Schoolites supports unlimited hostels, blocks, floors, and rooms. Each hostel can have its own warden, fee structure, and rules.
Does it work without internet inside the hostel?
The mobile app caches the latest data so wardens can mark mess attendance or note visitors even with poor connectivity. It syncs as soon as the network is back.
How are hostel fees handled separately from school fees?
Hostel fees are a separate fee group with their own heads (room, mess, deposit, laundry). Parents see a single bill but accounts can track them separately.
Can parents see when their child leaves and enters the hostel gate?
Yes. Every gate pass triggers an instant SMS/WhatsApp/app notification to the parent with timestamp and reason.
Is biometric attendance supported for hostel entry/exit?
Yes. Schoolites integrates with ZKTeco biometric devices commonly installed at hostel gates.
What about refunds when a student leaves mid-session?
The system pro-rates pending fees, deducts dues, and processes refunds via the same payment gateway used for collection.
How long does setup take?
A typical hostel of 200–500 students is fully onboarded — including room mapping and student import — within 3–5 working days.
