Education software for schools, institutes and edtech
Schools and institutes run on a yearly rhythm: admissions, fee terms, timetables, exams and results. Software that fits that rhythm saves office staff weeks of work; software that fights it gets replaced by spreadsheets again.
RED SAG builds school management systems, fee collection, parent and student apps, and online course platforms for private schools, coaching and tuition centres, training institutes and edtech startups, with particular care for children’s personal data.
What makes education software hard
Fee collection and follow-up
Term fees, concessions, instalments and late fees tracked in registers or Excel make dues hard to follow up and reconcile.
Parent communication
Circulars, homework, attendance and results spread across WhatsApp groups, paper diaries and calls, with no record of who saw what.
Exam and report cards
Marks entry, grading rules and report cards differ by board and class, and mistakes are visible to every parent.
Children’s data
Student records, photos and health notes belong to minors. Access must be tightly controlled and consent handled properly.
Peak-time load
Results day, admissions and fee deadlines bring sudden traffic spikes that cheap hosting cannot handle.
Software we build for education
School management
Admissions, student records, attendance, timetables, exams, report cards, transport and staff modules in one system.
School Management SoftwareOnline fee collection
Fee structures with instalments and concessions, UPI and card payments, receipts, reminders and dues reports.
Payment Gateway IntegrationParent and student apps
A parent app for schools and a student app, covering attendance, homework, circulars, results, fee payment and messages, with notifications instead of group chats.
Mobile AppsCourse and coaching platforms
Subscription course platforms with video lessons, tests, batches and progress tracking for institutes and edtech startups.
SaaS DevelopmentAdmissions enquiries
An admissions CRM that tracks enquiries from website, walk-ins and campaigns through to confirmed enrolment.
Custom CRMHow we approach these projects
Plan around the academic calendar
We time launches for quieter periods, not the week before admissions or exams, and migrate student data before a new term starts.
Your rules, configured
Grading scales, fee heads, concessions and report card layouts are settings, not code, so next year’s changes do not need a developer.
Simple for every parent
Parent apps are designed for first-time smartphone users as well as tech-savvy ones, with regional-language labels where needed.
Built for results day
Hosting and caching are sized for the spikes on results and fee deadline days, and load-tested before they arrive.

Compliance notes
Practical pointers, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm the current position with your adviser; we build the software to match.
India: DPDP Act and children
Under the DPDP Act, processing data of anyone under 18 needs verifiable parental consent, and tracking, behavioural monitoring or targeted advertising directed at children is prohibited, subject to exemptions set out in the Rules. Check the current Rules for what applies to educational institutions.
US: FERPA and COPPA
US schools must protect student education records under FERPA, and services directed at children under 13 need parental consent under COPPA. Vendors usually sign data agreements with schools or districts.
UK: Children’s code
Online services likely to be used by children in the UK should follow the ICO’s Age Appropriate Design Code: high privacy by default, minimal data and no nudging.
Fee receipts and GST
Many core school education services are exempt from GST, but some items and services are not. Receipts and invoices should be configured with your accountant’s guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Can the software handle CBSE, ICSE and state board report cards?
Yes. Grading rules, subjects, terms and report card layouts are configured per board and class, so one system can serve a school with more than one curriculum.
Can parents pay fees online?
Yes, by UPI, cards and net banking through a gateway such as Razorpay or Cashfree. Payments update the student’s dues instantly, receipts are sent automatically and the office sees a daily collection report.
How do you protect student data?
Access is limited by role, so a teacher sees their classes and the transport manager sees routes. Data is encrypted, backed up and hosted in your own cloud account, and we design parental consent and data deletion to match the DPDP Act and, abroad, FERPA, COPPA or UK rules.
Do you build for coaching centres and edtech startups too?
Yes. Coaching centres need batches, tests, attendance and fee instalments; edtech startups usually need a subscription course platform with video, tests and progress tracking. The building blocks overlap with school software but the product is different.
Can we move our existing student data into the new system?
Yes. We import student, parent, fee and marks data from Excel or your current software, check it with your office team, and run the old and new systems side by side briefly if needed.
Are you an education software development company or a product vendor?
We are an education software development company: we build software around your school or institute rather than selling one package to everyone. That matters when your fee structure, report cards or admissions process does not fit a standard product. If a ready-made school ERP suits you well, we will tell you so.
