NMVK School ECA & PTA Fee Management

The Challenges

NMVK School encountered significant challenges in managing ECA activity fees and PTA fees efficiently. The absence of an automated system resulted in billing errors, duplicate charges, and increased administrative burden.

Manual ECA Fee Tracking

Tracking fees for multiple ECA activities like Skating, Swimming, and other programs was done manually, leading to errors and inconsistencies.

No Per-Activity Fee Structure

There was no system to set different fee amounts for different activity types, making it difficult to manage varied pricing.

Duplicate PTA Fee Billing

Multiple siblings from the same family were being billed PTA fees separately, causing unnecessary charges and parent complaints.

Complex Enrollment Management

Managing student enrollments in academic groups and ECA activities simultaneously was time-consuming and error-prone.

Bulk Fee Processing Issues

Processing bulk fees for ECA activities across multiple students lacked automation and required extensive manual effort.

Lack of Sibling Tracking

No system existed to identify and link siblings, making it impossible to apply family-based fee rules automatically.
