Admin Platform - Easy Collection of Pending fees across sessions through Single Unified window:
For Ease of fees Collection for School Admin, we have developed a function to show all pending invoices of previous academic sessions in the Current session UI.
- As a result, the school admin doesn't have to toggle between the academic sessions to check the previous pending due.
- All the invoices are presented on the same screen, and importantly, they can be directly settled from the current session itself.
- To maintain distinct accounts of both academic sessions separately, we have ensured that the previous session invoice is settled in the database of the previous session.
This Functionality adds tremendous convenience to the admin, especially during fee collection. It saves time by obviating the need to toggle between the sessions to check the pending fees for the parent.
Parent's App - Single Unified window in the SchoolBellQ* App for Payment of Pending fees across sessions:
With the new Functionality for the Fees in the parent's app, now the parents will find it satisfying as;
- They can now conveniently view all pending invoices in their Fee payment section in the app in the current session (2021-22).
- The invoices of the previous academic sessions (2020-21) will also be visible on the same screen.
- They can view and pay all pending invoices from both the sessions (2020-21 & 2021-22) on the same screen.
This feature facilitates parents in assessing their previous session dues conveniently and clearing them.
Discount & Online approval Functionality for Admission Fees payment:
Based on the School's process flow, we had already developed the Functionality whereby:
- The admission counsellors can assign fee plans at the time of admission.
- The admissions counsellors can seek discount approval from the principal (or any other authorised personnel) online or offline.
- And upon approval from the principal, it automatically sends the discounted invoice to the parents online for payment.
This process has been working smoothly and is already integrated into multiple Schools for quite some time.
Deferral or Partial Payment Online for Admission Fees:
The above process illustrated for most parents may not be viable for few parents with difficult current financial situations owing to the COVID battered economy:
- Being the specific requirement of allowing users to make the part payment towards the admission fees, we have developed a different functionality that enables the School to generate the invoice for partial amounts that can be paid online & offline both.
- The invoices can be generated and settled both online and offline.
This feature will allow the School to collect the part-payment towards the admissions online, especially helpful during the pandemic, thus locking in a larger number of admissions.
