Challenges Faced by Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic

Saudi Electric Services Polytechnic (SESP) faced several operational and academic management challenges due to the limitations of standard systems. Attendance management was particularly complex, requiring more than simple present/absent tracking, with multiple attendance states and specific institutional rules. The process for issuing warning letters based on absence thresholds was manual and delayed, impacting timely interventions. Additionally, the institution required bilingual (Arabic and English) master data management, which was not adequately supported.

Managing multiple branches also posed difficulties in ensuring proper data segregation and operational control. The online admissions process lacked the necessary depth and structure to capture comprehensive academic and personal information. Furthermore, there was no standardized transcript format, making it challenging to generate trimester-wise academic reports with accurate GPA and CGPA calculations.

Solution Provided by OpenEduCat

To address these challenges, OpenEduCat implemented a comprehensive and customized solution tailored to SESP's requirements. An advanced attendance management system was introduced, supporting multiple attendance states such as Sick, Late, Excused, and Unexcused, along with defined rules like late-to-absence conversion and capped sick leaves. Attendance sheets were also configured to lock automatically after session start to ensure data integrity.

The warning letter process was fully automated using threshold-based triggers, enabling timely generation and delivery of notifications at defined absence levels. PDF documents were dynamically generated and distributed via email, ensuring accuracy and consistency while eliminating manual intervention.

The system was further enhanced to support bilingual master data in both Arabic and English, with structured hierarchies and domain-based filtering for improved usability. Multi-branch operations were streamlined through a multi-company configuration, ensuring clear data segregation and efficient management across locations.

Additionally, the online admissions portal was upgraded to capture detailed applicant information aligned with institutional requirements. A customized transcript module was also developed, providing a standardized format that includes trimester-wise performance, credit hours, grade points, GPA, and CGPA calculations based on weighted averages.
