Quick Answer: Mumbai schools need a cloud-based ERP that handles CBSE/ICSE/State Board compliance, face-recognition attendance, fee automation, and parent communication in one platform. TACHY SCHOOL ERP delivers 25+ modules starting at Rs.49/student/year, goes live in 3–7 days with free data migration and training, and includes a dedicated parent app. This guide covers features, pricing, board-specific needs, and a checklist to evaluate vendors without vendor lock-in.
Mumbai’s education landscape is dense, competitive, and regulation-heavy. Between RTE admissions, Maharashtra State Board circulars, CBSE’s new assessment patterns, and ICSE’s project-based evaluation, principals spend more time on compliance than pedagogy. Legacy on-premise software — often installed before GST — cannot handle real-time fee reconciliation, GPS bus tracking, or face-recognition attendance at scale.
A modern school management software in noida and metro cities like Mumbai must be cloud-native, mobile-first, and board-agnostic. TACHY SCHOOL ERP is built for this reality: 25+ modules cover admissions, academics, exams, HR, payroll, transport, inventory, and a white-label parent app. Because it’s multi-tenant SaaS, updates roll out automatically — no downtime, no vendor visits.
Not every module advertised is essential. Prioritise these based on daily pain points:
| Module | Why It Matters in Mumbai | TACHY Inclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Face Recognition Attendance | Eliminates proxy, works offline-first for local trains/bus delays | ✅ Hardware-agnostic, works on tablets |
| Fee Automation + Razorpay/BillDesk | Parents expect UPI/NetBanking; auto-reconciliation saves 20 hrs/month | ✅ Multi-gateway, dynamic receipt formats |
| CBSE/ICSE/State Board Report Cards | One-click generation in board-mandated formats (HPC, Holistic Progress Card) | ✅ Pre-loaded templates, customisable |
| Transport Tracking + Geo-fencing | Safety mandate; parents demand live ETA | ✅ Driver app + parent view |
| HR & Payroll with Maharashtra Compliance | PT, LWF, TDS, gratuity auto-calculated | ✅ Monthly challan export |
| Parent App (White-label) | Reduces WhatsApp spam; circulars, homework, fees in one place | ✅ Your school logo, Play/App Store |
Checklist: Before You Sign Any ERP Contract - [ ] Pricing is per-student-per-year with no hidden module fees - [ ] Go-live commitment in writing (TACHY: 3–7 days) - [ ] Free historical data migration (students, fees, staff, marks) - [ ] On-site / remote training for admin, teachers, accountants - [ ] Data export in CSV/Excel anytime — no vendor lock-in - [ ] Support SLA: phone + WhatsApp + email, 9 AM–7 PM IST - [ ] Hosted on Indian servers (MeitY empaneled cloud) for DPDP Act compliance
Pricing models vary wildly — some charge per module, others per user, many hide implementation fees. TACHY SCHOOL ERP keeps it simple: Rs.49/student/year, all modules included. No setup fee, no AMC, no per-teacher license.
For a 1,200-student school: Rs.58,800/year — less than one admin’s monthly salary. Compare that to legacy vendors quoting Rs.3–5 lakh upfront plus 18% AMC. The per-student model scales down for pre-primary sections and up for new branches without renegotiation.
Tip: Ask vendors for a 3-year total cost of ownership (TCO) including hardware, training, and support. Most Mumbai schools find TACHY 60–70% cheaper over three years.
Yes — if the exam and report-card engine is template-driven. TACHY’s assessment module lets you: - Define CBSE’s 80/20 or 90/10 weightage per subject - Configure ICSE’s project + practical + theory split - Map State Board’s semester/unit test + oral + activity structure - Generate HPC (Holistic Progress Card) for CBSE’s new framework - Print mark sheets in Marathi, Hindi, or English with school letterhead
No manual Excel merging. Teachers enter marks once; the system renders board-compliant PDFs for every student.
The biggest ERP failure point isn’t software — it’s change management. TACHY solves this with: - Free migration of 5+ years of student, fee, staff, and academic data - Role-based training: 2-hour sessions for principals, accountants, class teachers, transport in-charge - Hindi/Marathi/English UI toggle for non-tech staff - WhatsApp support group created on Day 1 for instant doubt resolution
Most Mumbai schools go live within 3–7 days — including biometric/face device installation and parent app rollout.
No. While this guide focuses on Mumbai, TACHY serves 500+ schools across India. If you manage multiple campuses or plan expansion, the same ERP works in Pune, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and beyond.

Typical go-live is 3–7 working days after contract signing. This includes data migration, face-device setup, teacher training, and parent app deployment. Larger schools (3,000+ students) may take 10 days — still far faster than legacy vendors who need 2–3 months.
Yes. All 25+ modules are included — parent app (white-labelled on Play Store/App Store), face-recognition attendance, transport tracking, HR/payroll, exam engine, inventory, and more. No add-on fees, no per-device charges.
Absolutely. You can export students, fees, marks, staff, transport, inventory in CSV/Excel anytime from the admin panel. No proprietary formats, no exit fees. We believe in earning your renewal every year, not locking you in.
