Academic ERP for Kolkata Schools: Pricing, Features & Setup

Quick Answer: TACHY SCHOOL ERP offers a complete academic erp in kolkata starting at Rs.49/student/year with a 3-7 day go-live, free data migration, and training. It includes 25+ modules for face recognition attendance, fee automation, CBSE/ICSE/State Board report cards, transport tracking, HR & payroll, and a parent app. Kolkata schools can compare features, see transparent pricing, and launch quickly without hidden costs.

Why Kolkata Schools Are Switching to Cloud-Based Academic ERP

Kolkata’s education landscape — spanning CBSE, ICSE, and West Bengal Board schools — demands software that handles multilingual report cards, complex fee structures, and high student volumes without IT overhead. Legacy on-premise systems require servers, maintenance contracts, and manual updates. A modern academic erp in kolkata like TACHY runs entirely in the cloud, auto-updates, and scales from 200 to 20,000+ students. Principals in Salt Lake, New Town, Behala, and Howrah report cutting admin workload by 40–60% in the first term after switching.

How Much Does a School ERP Cost in Kolkata?

Most vendors quote per-module or per-user pricing that balloons with add-ons. TACHY uses a flat, transparent model:

Plan	Price (Rs./student/year)	Core Modules Included	Go-Live Timeline	Support
Starter	49	Attendance (face/biometric), Fee Collection, Exam & Report Cards (CBSE/ICSE/State Board), Parent App, Transport GPS, Basic HR	3–7 days	Email + Chat
Professional	79	All Starter + Payroll, Library, Inventory, Hostel, Alumni, Custom Reports, API Access	5–10 days	Priority Phone + Email
Enterprise	119	All Professional + Multi-branch, Advanced Analytics, Dedicated Account Manager, SLA, SSO/SAML	7–14 days	24/7 Phone + Slack

No setup fees. No per-teacher charges. Free data migration from Excel, legacy ERP, or paper registers. Schools paying Rs.15–25 lakh/year for fragmented tools often save 60–80% by consolidating on TACHY.

What Features Matter Most for Kolkata Schools?

Kolkata principals prioritize modules that match local compliance and daily operations. TACHY delivers 25+ modules; these are the ones schools activate first:

Face Recognition Attendance & Login — Works on low-cost tablets at gates/classrooms; offline sync for poor connectivity zones.
Fee Automation with Kolkata Gateways — Razorpay, PayU, BillDesk, UPI, NEFT/RTGS auto-reconciliation; custom heads (session, transport, lab, development) with GST-compliant receipts.
Exam & Report Cards — Pre-built templates for CBSE (9-point grading), ICSE (percentage + grade), WBBSE/WBCHSE (marks + division); auto-calculation of co-scholastic, attendance weightage, and promotion rules.
Transport Tracking — Live GPS for parents, route optimization, attendance on bus, SOS alerts; integrates with existing vendor fleets.
HR & Payroll — West Bengal labour law compliant: PF, ESI, PT, TDS, Form 16, arrears, leave encashment; staff face login for biometric payroll.
Parent App (Android/iOS) — Fees, homework, circulars, attendance, report cards, bus tracking — multilingual (English, Hindi, Bengali).
Admission & Enrollment — Online forms, document upload, lottery/merit lists, TC generation, DigiLocker integration.

How Fast Can a Kolkata School Go Live?

3–7 days for most schools. The timeline depends on data readiness, not software complexity:

✅ Day 1–2: Account setup, branch config, academic session, fee heads, transport routes
✅ Day 2–3: Data import (students, staff, fee history, previous marks) — free migration by TACHY team
✅ Day 3–4: Face enrollment drives (staff + students), parent app rollout, teacher training (2 hrs live + recorded)
✅ Day 4–5: Parallel run (paper + ERP), fee collection test, attendance dry run
✅ Day 5–7: Go-live, handholding support, first report card generation

Schools with clean Excel/CSV data go live in 3 days. Those digitizing from paper registers take 5–7 days. No school has exceeded 10 days in the last 12 months.

FAQ

### How does TACHY handle West Bengal Board report card formats?

TACHY includes pre-configured WBBSE (Class 10) and WBCHSE (Class 12) report card templates with marks, division, subject-wise grades, and co-scholastic areas. Schools can customize headers, logos, and language (English/Bengali) without coding. The system auto-populates from exam marks and attendance — no manual entry needed.

### Can we use face attendance without buying expensive hardware?

Yes. TACHY’s face recognition runs on any Android tablet (Rs.8,000–12,000) mounted at entry points or classrooms. The app works offline and syncs when online. No proprietary biometric devices, no vendor lock-in. Many Kolkata schools start with 2–3 tablets and scale up.

### What happens after the first year — any price hikes?

Pricing is locked for the contract term (annual or multi-year). Renewal rates are communicated 60 days in advance with no surprise increases. Schools on multi-year plans (2–3 years) get 5–10% discount. All updates, new modules, and support remain included.

Kolkata schools using TACHY include CBSE chains in New Town, ICSE schools in Park Street, and State Board institutions in suburban Howrah — all running the same platform with board-specific configs. See how it fits your campus: explore school ERP in Kolkata or view all locations.
