CHERI SMS
One system to run a school. Admissions, attendance, fees, exams, timetables, transport, payroll and parent communication stop living in separate spreadsheets and start working together, with reporting the office can actually use.
What it actually is
CHERI SMS is a school management platform covering the whole operational year, not just one department. Admissions feed the student roster; the roster drives attendance, exams and fees; fees produce receipts and dues reports; every change is visible to the people who need it, admin, teacher, student, parent, at the level of detail their role allows.
It installs as a web app on a phone (PWA), works offline, and sends push notifications, so parents and teachers do not need to be at a desk to use it. Payments are taken online through UPI, cards and net banking.
Who uses it, day to day
- School admins, roster, fees, staff, reports
- Teachers, attendance, marks, classwork, messages
- Students, timetable, results, materials
- Parents, progress, attendance, fees, teacher chat
Is it right for your school?
A good fit if
- You are running attendance, fees and exams in separate tools or on paper
- You have multiple branches and need one view across them
- Parents ask for information the office has to look up manually
- You are growing and the current system is starting to break
- You want staff on phones, not tied to the office desktop
Probably not, if
- You only need a learning or practice app, look at CheriMathLab instead
- You have a large ERP that works and only one module hurts
- You need it live next week, data migration and staff training take time, and rushing it is how these projects fail
