The challenge

Each campus kept its own student list, its own fee schedule in Excel, and its own attendance books. Parents received a printed bill and paid by bank transfer, which finance matched to students by reading transfer descriptions one by one.

01Tuition arrears were discovered late because payment matching was manual and lagged by several weeks.
02Attendance was taken on paper and typed up later, so absence alerts reached parents days afterwards.
03Report card preparation consumed a week of teacher time every term across all six campuses.
04Teacher payroll, BPJS, and PPh 21 were calculated separately per campus with inconsistent results.
Our approach

The solution

ERPNext implementation

ERPNext Education holds the student master, programme structure, and fee schedule for all six campuses, with billing and payroll consolidated so the foundation finally sees one financial picture.

Less report card admin
Arrears are visible the day they occur, and collection follow-up starts immediately.
Parents get an absence notification within minutes rather than at the end of the week.
Teachers reclaimed roughly a week per term previously spent on report card administration.
The foundation compares campus performance and cost on one consolidated set of numbers.
We expected the finance team to benefit most. In the end it was the teachers, who stopped spending their evenings copying marks from one book into another.
