Migrating from spreadsheets without losing history

In short - You can move off spreadsheets without losing history: opening balances, student records and fee history are imported and validated before go-live, and balances become explicit append-only ledger events, so the books stay provable from day one.

The biggest fear in switching systems is losing your history. Vidyom’s onboarding is built around a validated import: opening balances, student master data and existing fee history are brought in and checked before you go live.

Because the ledger is append-only, imported opening balances are recorded as explicit events - so your books remain provable from day one, and every later payment reconciles cleanly against them.

Most schools go live on fee collection first, then roll out admissions, academics and the rest at their own pace, one module at a time.
