Comparison

School ERP or spreadsheets?

Two copies of the fee list disagree again. Here is how a school ERP and spreadsheets compare, row by row.

Eight rows · Two are won by spreadsheets

In plain words

Two ways to keep a school’s records.

We make a school ERP, so we have a side. We have tried to be fair.

Spreadsheets

Files kept by the people who made them.

One file for fees, one per class for scores. Whoever has a file can change all of it.

A school ERP

One system that holds the school’s records together.

Students, staff, results, fees and attendance in one place. Each person sees what their work needs.

Row by row

School ERP vs spreadsheets, row by row.

The shaded side is stronger. Unshaded means it depends on the school.

Results

Spreadsheets
Scores are typed per subject, then copied to a master sheet. One broken formula can change a class’s positions unnoticed.
A school ERP
Each subject teacher enters scores once. Results, broadsheets and report cards follow.

Fees

Spreadsheets
A list of who has paid, updated by hand from bank slips.
A school ERP
Bills go to a whole class at once. Online payments land against their own bill.

Attendance

Spreadsheets
The register stays on paper. A parent hears of an absence when someone remembers to call.
A school ERP
The class teacher marks it on the web or app. Parents can be alerted to absence and lateness.

Who can see what

Spreadsheets
Whoever opens the file sees everything. Separate copies soon disagree.
A school ERP
Each role sees what its work needs. A one-section bursar sees only that section’s money.

When a member of staff leaves

Spreadsheets
The files may leave on their laptop. The school has to ask for them back.
A school ERP
Their account is switched off. The records, and what they changed, stay with the school.

Cost

Spreadsheets
Little to buy. The cost is staff time, and mistakes found late.
A school ERP
A fee per student. SchooWare is from ₦149.99 per student a month, with no per-user charges.

Internet

Spreadsheets
A file on a computer opens with no internet. A shared online sheet does not.
A school ERP
A cloud system needs a connection. With SchooWare, a server at the school keeps exams, the till and the clinic running offline, and biometric devices keep recording attendance.

Moving later

Spreadsheets
The files are yours and open anywhere, but each term’s layout differs, so they need cleaning first.
A school ERP
Records keep one shape, so they move easily. SchooWare exports a school’s data on request.

An honest answer

A very small school may not need one yet.

Left list sounds like you? Keep your spreadsheets tidy. Right list? They are already costing you.

Spreadsheets are enough when
  • One section and a handful of classes.
  • One careful person keeps fees and results.
  • Nobody outside the office needs the records.
The school has outgrown them when
  • Results take more than a week after exams.
  • Nobody can say what fees are outstanding.
  • Parents want results and receipts on their phones.

Questions

What schools ask before they move.

Can the records in our spreadsheets be brought across?
Yes. Students and staff can be brought in by bulk upload.
Can we keep spreadsheets for some things?
Yes. Keep a sheet for a one-off list or plan. Move anything more than one person depends on: scores, fees and the register.
What does SchooWare cost for a school our size?
From ₦149.99 per student a month, or ₦499.99 a term. Staff and parent accounts are not charged for. The pricing page has a calculator for your own numbers.
