School ERP for teaching operations
Gurubotto is a lightweight school ERP for Indian CBSE and state-board schools that covers teaching operations — syllabus pace, lesson materials, attendance, marks and fee tracking — rather than back-office administration. School plans start at ₹2,499 per month with 7 days free.
What the principal actually sees
The command centre answers one question on open: what needs my attention today. Numbers come from activity teachers actually recorded — where there is no evidence, it says 'not tracked yet' instead of estimating.
- ✓Teachers, students, classes, attendance rate, fees pending and classes behind pace at a glance
- ✓A needs-attention list that names the specific risk and links straight to the fix
- ✓Syllabus pace per teacher and per class, computed from recorded lessons
- ✓A weekly principal report compiled from real activity
- ✓Fee collection status, defaulters and balances, with exports
Why 'teaching operations' and not a full ERP
Most school ERPs are built for the office — admissions, payroll, transport — and treat teaching as a data-entry chore. Teachers then avoid them and the data goes stale. Gurubotto inverts that: it earns the teacher's use by saving them preparation time, and school-wide visibility is the by-product of work they were doing anyway.
Teacher accountability without teacher hostility
Activity signals are presented as support signals, not staff appraisal. There is deliberately no 'worst teacher' ranking — a quiet teacher usually needs help, not a warning. Principals can assign academic follow-ups to a teacher and mark them done.
What Gurubotto does not do
Stated plainly so you can judge the fit before paying:
- •No payroll, transport, hostel, admissions or library-circulation modules.
- •No biometric or hardware attendance — staff record attendance in the app.
- •No accounting ledger; fee tracking is collection-focused, not double-entry accounting.
- •No automated WhatsApp/SMS to parents — messages are prepared for a human to send.
Common questions
- Is Gurubotto a complete school ERP?
- No, and we say so plainly. It covers teaching operations — syllabus pace, lesson materials, attendance, marks and fee tracking. It does not do payroll, transport, admissions or hostel management. Schools usually run it alongside whatever handles their back office.
- How much does a school ERP like this cost in India?
- Gurubotto school plans are ₹2,499, ₹3,999 or ₹9,800 per month depending on size, with 7 days free. An individual teacher can also subscribe alone for ₹189 per month.
- Can it tell me if the syllabus is on pace?
- Yes. Each class has a pace plan against a target completion date, and the command centre flags classes that are behind or need immediate intervention, based on lessons teachers actually recorded.
- How do teachers join our school account?
- The admin shares a join code. Teachers pick 'Join with code' at signup and land in your school instantly.
- Does it work on cheap phones and slow internet?
- Yes. It runs in a mobile browser with nothing to install, and is built for low-end Android devices and patchy connections in tier-2 and tier-3 towns.
