Manual Payment Processing

Cash transactions at school stores and cafés created long queues and payment delays.

Limited Spending Control

Parents had no real-time visibility or control over their children’s school purchases.

Paper-Based Trip Management

School trip approvals and consent forms required extensive paperwork and manual processing.

Fragmented Communication Channels

School announcements were scattered across multiple platforms, reducing parent engagement and visibility.

Inefficient Attendance Tracking

Manual check-in/check-out processes caused delays and provided no real-time parent notifications.

Dietary Restriction Enforcement

Schools struggled to effectively monitor and enforce students’ dietary needs and allergy restrictions.

Complex Multi-Child Management

Parents with multiple children faced difficulties managing separate accounts and fund distributions.

Lack of Spending Insights

No centralized system existed to track and analyze student expenses across categories.
