Challenge

  • Term-end fee collection took 14 days on average — finance team lived on phones.
  • Email reminders had 18% open rate. Most parents didn't see them.
  • Admissions and counselor handoffs happened on personal WhatsApp — no audit, no tracking, no handover.

Solution

  • Fee reminder flow: 5 days before, due day, +3 day overdue — with tap-to-pay link.
  • Google Sheets connector pushes each payment to the accounts sheet, auto-generates receipt PDF.
  • Admissions portal form → WhatsApp auto-reply with brochure + fee card + counselor handoff.
  • Attendance + results flow daily to parents; result PDF sent the moment the term ends.

Results

  • First reminder batch collected ₹18L in 48 hours (vs 2 weeks on email).
  • Collection cycle dropped 14 days → 11 days, then 11 → 8 as parents got used to the flow.
  • Admission-enquiry-to-visit time went from 5 days → same-day.
  • Finance team reclaimed their evenings — no more weekend reminder drives.
