The Old WayTransform My Institute

Where You Are Today

Holding you back

A parent in

A parent in the pickup line tries to check her daughter's attendance record on her iPhone, but the responsive web portal's dropdown menus overlap on the small screen, text is unreadable without zooming, and she gives up after two minutes, then calls the front office, adding to the 41 mobile-related help desk tickets Marcus logged this week

Pain Point

The district sent

The district sent an early dismissal alert via email during a water main break last March. The email open rate was 34%. Three hundred and forty parents did not see it until hours later. The front office fielded 186 phone calls in ninety minutes while simultaneously managing student pickup logistics

Pain Point

Mr. Daniels finishes

Mr. Daniels finishes his third-period history class and walks back to his office to mark attendance on the desktop portal. Fifteen minutes have passed. He cannot remember whether two students arrived late or were absent entirely, so he guesses, and one parent gets an incorrect absence notification that generates a complaint email to the principal

Pain Point

The district pays

The district pays $3,200 per year for a standalone parent communication app that sends push notifications and displays a news feed, but cannot show grades, attendance, or fee balances because it has no connection to the student information system. Parents tap a notification, wait for a browser to load, then enter a separate login to see actual data

Pain Point

Disconnected systems

Times the same data is re-entered

Separate logins to manage

Parents Who Actually See Notifications Instead of Missing Them in Email

When 340 parents miss an early dismissal alert because it went to email, the front office absorbs 186 phone calls. Push notifications on a native app solve that problem at the source.

Push notifications deliver attendance alerts, grade postings, fee reminders, emergency announcements, and event updates directly to the parent's lock screen within seconds of the event being triggered in OpenEduCat
Multi-child support shows a parent with students at two different schools both profiles in a single app, switching between children takes one tap instead of separate logins to separate portals
Deep links inside notifications open the relevant screen directly: tapping a fee reminder opens the payment page, tapping a grade alert shows the new score, tapping an attendance notice shows the absence record

Parent View: News and Institutional Communication

Faculty Who Enter Data Where the Work Happens Instead of Walking Back to a Desktop

A teacher who marks attendance fifteen minutes after class from an office desktop is guessing at two or four students. A teacher who marks attendance from a phone during roll call is recording what actually happened.

Attendance marking takes under 60 seconds per class period: the app loads the current class roster based on the timetable, the teacher taps present or absent for each student, and the record syncs immediately to the SIS
Assignment grading from the app lets faculty review submissions, enter scores, add feedback comments, and post grades without opening a laptop, useful during commutes, between classes, or while supervising study hall
Faculty schedule view shows today's classes, room assignments, upcoming meetings, leave balances, and substitution notifications in a single dashboard that loads in under two seconds on a typical LTE connection

Zero Separate Systems for IT to Manage Beyond the Core ERP

Every disconnected parent communication app, every third-party notification tool, every standalone mobile portal, and every one-off SMS gateway adds a user directory to manage, a sync process to monitor, a vendor invoice to pay, and a support contract to renew.

The mobile apps authenticate against the same the platform user directory and role-based access control as the web interface, when a new teacher is created in OpenEduCat, they log into the mobile app with the same credentials that same day
No middleware, no separate database, no sync jobs: the apps call the same API endpoints as the web application, reading from and writing to the same PostgreSQL database that powers every other OpenEduCat module
App store publishing uses the institution's branding (logo, colors, name) so the app appears in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store as the school's own app, not as a generic third-party tool

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Mobile Application for Educational Institutions

No. The native apps are pre-built and published to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store with your institution's branding applied, logo, color scheme, institution name. Your IT team does not write code, manage build pipelines, handle code signing certificates, or coordinate app store submissions. Updates are pushed through Apple and Google's standard update mechanisms. Your IT team's responsibility is limited to configuring which modules and data are visible to each user role, which is done through the same OpenEduCat admin panel used for the web interface.

The app supports multi-child profiles under a single parent account. A parent whose children attend different schools within the same OpenEduCat instance sees all children listed in the app. Tapping a child's name shows that student's grades, attendance, timetable, assignments, and fee status. Push notifications are labeled with the child's name so parents can distinguish between alerts. If your district runs separate OpenEduCat instances per campus (uncommon but possible), the parent would need a login per instance. For single-instance districts, which is the standard deployment, one login covers all children regardless of campus.

The app caches the user's most recent data on the device: timetables, grade summaries, attendance history, downloaded course materials, class rosters (for faculty), and recent messages. This cached data is accessible without an internet connection. When a faculty member marks attendance offline, common in portable classrooms, gymnasiums, or outdoor facilities with poor Wi-Fi. The record is stored locally and synced to the server automatically when connectivity resumes. The sync uses conflict resolution so that if two changes were made to the same record (unlikely but possible), the server-side record takes precedence and the user is notified.

Yes. The mobile app respects the same role-based access control configured in OpenEduCat's web admin panel. If your institution uses four roles (student, parent, faculty, staff) each role sees only the modules and data assigned to it. You can further customize within roles: for example, allowing faculty to see grade entry and attendance but hiding leave management if that workflow stays on desktop. Feature visibility changes made in the web admin panel apply to the mobile app immediately without requiring an app update or device-side configuration.

Push notifications support priority levels. Emergency alerts (early dismissals, campus closures, safety incidents) bypass quiet hours and deliver with high-priority flags that keep the notification visible on lock screens until acknowledged. Routine notifications (grade postings, fee reminders, event announcements) respect the quiet hours each user has configured. Administrators can send emergency notifications from the OpenEduCat web interface or from the admin view in the mobile app itself. Delivery receipts show which users received the notification, which opened it, and which have not yet seen it, giving administrators real-time visibility into whether an emergency message has reached the community.

The iOS and Android apps are licensed separately. The Android app is $839 per year and the iOS app is $1,119 per year under the standard annual licensing model. Two-year and one-time purchase options are also available at reduced effective rates. The license covers unlimited users within your institution. There is no per-student or per-parent fee on top of the app license. Both apps connect to the same OpenEduCat instance, so your data, users, and configuration work identically across platforms. Most institutions deploy both to cover their full parent, student, faculty, and staff population across Apple and Android devices.
