Be it preschools, schools, an academy, or independent online tutoring, managing an educational institute is no small task. From academics to administration, they juggle multiple responsibilities every day. But for many, the admission process, fee collection, and reconciliation remain some of the most time-consuming and error-prone processes.
That’s exactly where Next Education is making a difference. As one of India’s leading EdTech providers, Next Education offers its cloud-first, AI-driven, digital operating system – NextOS. Built around a user-friendly, next-gen ERP, NextOS automates everything from fee collection to report generation and seamlessly integrates with a full suite of EdTech tools like attendance management, digital learning modules, holistic report cards, and proprietary publications. Their mission is simple: empower educational institutes to focus more on students and less on administrative hassles.
The Challenge: Fee Collections Were a Bottleneck
Traditionally, fee management required significant manual effort. Staff needed to track transactions, reconcile records, and manage discrepancies. This not only drained resources but also created friction for parents who had limited payment options.
While Next Education’s NextOS (ERP) digitised much of this process, the quality of the payments experience depended heavily on the payment platform powering it. And that’s where Razorpay stepped in.
