Springdale Public School, a well-regarded CBSE institution in Jaipur with 1,200 students and 85 staff members, had been operating with a combination of paper registers, Excel spreadsheets, and a legacy software system that was barely functional. When Mrs. Kavita Rathore took over as principal in 2025, she made digital transformation her top priority — but with the constraint that the transition had to be completed before the new academic session.
The school chose Inter-College after evaluating five different platforms. The deciding factors were the comprehensive feature set that covered everything from admissions to transport management, the availability of a dedicated implementation team, and the platform's track record with similarly sized schools. Implementation began on January 5th, and by February 4th, every module was live and operational.
The first week focused on data migration and setup. Inter-College's team imported 1,200 student records, 85 staff profiles, the complete fee structure, and the academic calendar. Weeks two and three were devoted to staff training — conducted in small groups of 10-12, with separate sessions for teachers, accountants, and administrators. The fourth week was a supervised go-live period where both the old and new systems ran in parallel, with Inter-College's support team available on-site to resolve any issues.
Six months later, the results speak for themselves. Fee collection efficiency improved by 50%, with online payments now accounting for 78% of all transactions. Parent app adoption reached 90%, with an average of 3.2 logins per parent per week. Teacher time spent on administrative tasks dropped by an estimated 6 hours per week. Mrs. Rathore notes that the most unexpected benefit was the improvement in data-driven decision making: for the first time, she could see real-time dashboards showing attendance trends, fee collection status, and academic performance across all sections.
