Running a school group without the spreadsheet at the top
A trust with several branches shouldn’t reconcile them by hand. Here’s how one roll-up, with drill-down to any campus, replaces the monthly consolidation.
In short - A school group can replace its monthly manual consolidation with one live roll-up of collections, defaulters, admissions and results across every campus - drilling into any branch - carrying counts and money only, never a child’s personal data across schools.
A trust that runs three or five branches usually ends up with a spreadsheet at the top: each campus emails its numbers, someone stitches them together, and by the time the picture is complete it is already a week old. The branches themselves run fine - it is the group view that is manual.
Vidyom treats a group as one shared record. Collections, defaulters, admissions, transport, health and results roll up across every campus by default, and you can narrow any of them to a single branch with one control - without logging into a different system. Unassigned students resolve to the main campus, so the group total always ties out.
The roll-up carries counts and money, never a child’s personal data across schools. Each branch stays isolated by fail-closed row-level security; the group sees the shape of the numbers, not the students behind them.
For the person who carries the whole trust, that means the monthly consolidation becomes a report instead of a reconstruction - and a branch that is drifting on fees or attendance shows up while there is still time to act.
