How Automation is Revolutionizing School Management in India

Operating and the management of a school in the present scenario of expanding world is definitely not a simple task. From student records to fee management, parent communication, and monitoring student success — it can all get a bit overwhelming. And yet, what if many of these daily tasks could be conducted on autopilot, with better results, in less time?

Sounds great!

Teachers lose 90+ hours yearly on attendance tasks – EdTech insight.

Welcome to the world of school automation — a rising trend that’s changing how schools operate in India. And at the center of this transformation is Inforida, a homegrown EduTech company.

The Shift to Cloud-Based School Management

Earlier, several schools in India used to manage their operations using registers, Excel sheets, and paperwork. This, however, was far from efficient and feasible, risking human error, loss of data and time.

And with automation, particularly if it’s powered by cloud technology, every aspect from admissions and attendance to fees and communication comes under one roof.

Indian schools waste 50,000+ paper sheets yearly on admin — costly and outdated.

According to a report by Research and Markets, the global EdTech market is expected to grow to $404 billion by 2025, driven largely by automation and cloud-based solutions in schools (source).

What Is School Automation?

School automation means using software and smart tools to handle routine administrative and academic tasks — with little to no manual input. Think of it as your school’s own personal assistant that works 24/7.

Here's what automation can handle:

Marking attendance (even using facial recognition!)
Collecting and tracking school fees
Sending announcements to parents
Generating report cards
Managing timetables, classes, and exams
Payroll for staff
Enrollment and admissions

And that’s just the start.

Manual school admissions cause 30%+ dropouts due to poor follow-ups and data issues.

How Inforida is Making a Difference

Inforida is helping Indian schools of all sizes make the shift to automation, making their lives easier and their institutions smarter.

Here’s how:

1. Automated Attendance with AI Facial Recognition

Say goodbye to roll calls and long attendance queues. Inforida's Goood Morning App uses AI-based facial recognition to mark attendance instantly. It’s not only accurate, but it also gives real-time updates to parents.

📊 Fact: Schools spend over 15 minutes a day just on manual attendance. That’s more than 45 hours a year per class — time that could be used for learning.

2. QuickEnroll AI for Faster Admissions

Inforida simplifies the often chaotic admission season with its QuickEnroll AI. It reduces paperwork and confusion by digitizing forms, assigning IDs automatically, and tracking applications in real-time.

3. Mobile Access for Everyone

With apps tailored for teachers, parents, and admins — like Inforida Orbit — everyone stays connected. Teachers can upload marks, parents can check reports, and management can access dashboards — all from their phones.

4. Real-Time Reporting and Insights

Inforida helps school leaders make data-backed decisions with detailed dashboards, performance trends, and automated reports — from student progress to staff payroll and beyond.

Why Indian Schools Need Automation — Now More Than Ever
