Quick Answer: Surat schools adopting AI in education edtech reduce manual workload by 60–70% through automated attendance, fee collection, and report card generation. TACHY SCHOOL ERP delivers 25+ modules — including face recognition attendance, transport tracking, and CBSE/ICSE/State Board compliant exams — at Rs.49/student/year with a 3–7 day go-live, free data migration, and staff training included.
Surat’s 1,200+ private schools face rising parent expectations, CBSE/ICSE compliance pressure, and staff shortages. Traditional spreadsheets and disconnected tools create errors in fee reconciliation, attendance audits, and report card formatting. AI in education edtech solves this by unifying operations — attendance, fees, exams, transport, HR — into one platform that learns patterns (e.g., fee defaulters, low-attendance students) and alerts admins before issues escalate. TACHY’s face recognition attendance alone cuts proxy attendance to near zero, while auto-generated report cards match board-specific formats without manual formatting.
Students and staff mark attendance by standing in front of a tablet or kiosk at the gate or classroom. The system verifies identity in under 1 second using liveness detection (prevents photos/videos), logs timestamp and location, and syncs instantly to the parent app and admin dashboard. No RFID cards, no biometric hardware maintenance. For Surat schools with 2,000+ students, this saves 3–4 staff hours daily and gives parents real-time arrival/departure alerts. CBSE’s new attendance mandates (75% minimum) are auto-tracked with deficiency alerts sent to parents and class teachers.
TACHY’s 25+ modules cover the full lifecycle:
| Module Category | Key Features | Board Compliance |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance | Face recognition, geo-fenced mobile app, late/early alerts, CBSE 75% tracker | CBSE, ICSE, GSEB |

| HR & Payroll | Leave, attendance, salary computation (7th CPT), Form 16, PF/ESIC challans | — |

All modules included at Rs.49/student/year — no per-module upsells.

Before signing, verify your vendor delivers:
Student biometric data (face vectors) never leaves the school’s local server or TACHY’s India-hosted cloud (MeitY-empaneled data centers). No data sold, no ads. Fee receipts auto-generate with GSTIN, TDS sections, and school seal — audit-ready for CA and IT department. Transport module logs driver hours for RTO compliance. Role-based access ensures principals see everything; accountants see only fees; teachers see only their classes. All audit trails timestamped and immutable.
Yes. CBSE’s 2023–24 affiliation bylaws explicitly permit “automated attendance systems including biometric and facial recognition” provided data privacy is maintained. GSEB follows similar guidelines. TACHY stores only encrypted face vectors — not images — and processes verification on-device or on India-hosted servers, meeting DPDP Act 2023 requirements.
Yes. Free migration covers student master data, 3+ years fee ledgers, transport routes, staff records, and historical attendance. Our Surat team maps your existing fee heads, discount rules, and report card templates during the 3–7 day implementation. No manual re-entry needed.
No. Rs.49/student/year is fixed for the contract duration. Renewal is optional — no auto-renewal, no price hike. You pay only for active students each year. Support, updates, and new modules (e.g., NEP 2020 credit tracking, ALP dashboards) stay included.
