Indian School ERP for Kolkata Schools: Pricing, Features & Setup

Quick Answer: TACHY School ERP offers Kolkata schools a complete management suite — face recognition attendance, fee automation, exam management, transport tracking, HR & payroll, and a parent app — starting at Rs.49/student/year. Schools go live in 3–7 days with free data migration and training. It supports CBSE, ICSE, and West Bengal State Board formats across 25+ modules, making it the fastest, most affordable indian school erp for Kolkata institutions.

Why Kolkata Schools Need a Modern ERP Today

Kolkata’s schools — whether CBSE, ICSE, or West Bengal Board — face growing administrative pressure. Manual registers, scattered spreadsheets, and disconnected parent communication create errors, delays, and compliance risks. A purpose-built indian school erp centralizes admissions, attendance, fees, exams, transport, and staff payroll in one platform. TACHY is designed for Indian workflows: multi-board report cards, GST-compliant fee receipts, UPI/QR payment links, and bilingual (English/Hindi/Bengali) parent app notifications. With 25+ modules, it replaces 5–7 standalone tools, cutting software costs by 60–80%.

How Much Does a School ERP Cost in Kolkata?

Pricing is the first question every principal asks. TACHY uses a transparent per-student model:

Plan Price (Rs./student/year) Key Inclusions Best For
Starter 49 Face attendance, fee collection, exam marks entry, basic report cards, parent app, transport GPS tracking Budget-conscious schools < 500 students
Professional 79 All Starter + HR & payroll, inventory, library, hostel, alumni, custom report cards (CBSE/ICSE/State Board), WhatsApp alerts Growing schools 500–2,000 students
Enterprise 119 All Professional + multi-branch dashboard, API access, dedicated account manager, SLA-backed support, custom integrations Large chains, 2,000+ students

No hidden costs: Free data migration, free staff training (on-site or virtual), free parent app rollout. Annual billing only — no monthly lock-in. Compare this to legacy vendors charging Rs.150–300/student/year plus setup fees of Rs.50,000–2,00,000.

What Features Actually Matter for Daily Operations?

Not every module gets used daily. These are the ones Kolkata schools rely on:

Checklist: Does Your Current System Do These? - [ ] Face attendance for students & staff (no cards/RFID) - [ ] Auto fee reminders with UPI payment links - [ ] Board-compliant report cards (CBSE/ICSE/State) generated in minutes - [ ] Live bus tracking visible to parents - [ ] Payroll with TDS, PF, ESI, Form 16 built-in - [ ] Bilingual parent app (English + Hindi/Bengali) - [ ] Go-live in under 7 days with migrated historical data

How Fast Is Setup Really? The 3–7 Day Go-Live Process

Most ERPs take 2–3 months. TACHY’s structured rollout hits 3–7 days because:

  1. Day 1: Kickoff call. Share student/staff master data (Excel/CSV). We map fields.
  2. Day 2: Configure fee structures, class-section-board mapping, transport routes, salary templates.
  3. Day 3: Face enrollment camps (we guide your team). Parent app links sent via SMS.
  4. Day 4: Parallel run — old + new system. Verify attendance, fee receipts, report card samples.
  5. Day 5–7: Cutover. Staff training (2 hrs admin, 1 hr teachers). Go live. Support team on standby.

Free migration covers 3 years of historical data (fees, marks, attendance). No IT team needed — we handle cloud hosting, backups, SSL, and updates.

Is It Compliant with CBSE, ICSE & West Bengal Board Requirements?

Yes. TACHY’s report card engine is built for Indian boards: - CBSE: Term I/II, periodic tests, portfolio, subject enrichment, co-scholastic (5-point), attendance % — all auto-mapped. - ICSE: Project work, internal assessment, external exam, grade conversion — template-ready. - WBBSE/WBCHSE: Formative/summative, subject-wise grades, pass/fail logic per state norms. - NEP-2020 Ready: Holistic progress card, 360° assessment, skill tags, multilingual output.

Fee receipts follow GST rules (HSN 999293). TDS on staff salaries auto-calculated. Data hosted on Indian servers (MeitY-empaneled cloud) — meets DPDP Act 2023 guidelines.

FAQ

### How is face recognition attendance different from RFID or biometric?

Face recognition requires no hardware cards or fingerprint scanners — students simply look at a tablet/phone at the gate. It works in low light, with masks, and prevents proxy attendance. Data syncs offline. RFID cards get lost/forgotten; biometrics fail with young children’s faint prints. Face login also secures staff ERP access.

### Can TACHY handle multiple boards in one school (e.g., CBSE + State Board)?

Yes. Each class-section is tagged to its board. Fee structures, exam patterns, report card templates, and promotion rules apply per board automatically. A single school running CBSE (primary) and WBCHSE (higher secondary) manages both in one instance — no separate logins or databases.

### What happens after the first year? Any price hikes?

Renewal is at the same per-student rate unless you upgrade plans. No auto-escalation clauses. You’ll receive a 60-day notice before renewal with a clear invoice. Schools typically renew at 95%+ rate because the ROI is visible: 90% less manual work, 99% fee collection on time, zero report card errors.
