Let’s explore how integrating Smart SMS through Disha Technology’s system transforms the administrative landscape of your school.

1. Automated Attendance Alerts

Manual Method: Teachers mark attendance, admin staff compile reports, and parents are contacted individually if needed.

With Smart SMS:
As soon as attendance is marked in the ERP system, an SMS is automatically sent to the parents of absent students.

Example: “Dear Parent, your child Riya (Class 5A) was marked absent on 12 July. Please inform the school if she is unwell.”

Benefit:

• No phone calls or paperwork needed.

• Instant parental notification.

• Saves teacher and admin time daily.

2. Streamlined Fee Management

Manual Method: Notebooks or spreadsheets are used to record who paid and who didn’t. Fee reminders are sent via printed slips or personal calls.

With Smart SMS:
Automated reminders are scheduled for due fees, payment confirmations, or late fees.

Example: “Dear Parent, ₹4500 fee for July is due on 20th July. Kindly pay to avoid late fees.”

Benefit:

• Timely and professional communication.

• Improves fee collection rate.

• Reduces the burden on finance/admin teams.

3. Exam & Result Notifications

Manual Method: Staff write and distribute physical notices about exams and later hand over printed report cards.

With Smart SMS:
Exam dates, schedules, and even results can be notified via SMS.

Example: “Term-2 Results for Class 8 are now available on the parent portal. Kindly log in to view.”

Benefit:

• Saves time and printing cost.

• Minimizes confusion about dates or venues.

• Increases parental involvement.

4. Event & Holiday Announcements

Manual Method: Handwritten or printed circulars are distributed, often getting lost in transit.

With Smart SMS:
Notices about holidays, PTMs, events, or emergencies are broadcast to all relevant recipients in seconds.

Example: “School will remain closed on 17th July for Eid. Wishing all families a blessed celebration!”

Benefit:

• Instant reach to all parents and staff.

• No chance of miscommunication.

• Saves stationery and labor.

5. Scheduled and Bulk Messaging

Disha Technology’s Smart SMS system allows admins to:

• Schedule messages in advance for events or fee reminders.

• Send bulk messages to entire classes, departments, or the full school community.

Use Cases:

• Upcoming holiday

• Uniform policy change

• School reopening schedule

Benefit:

• Easy communication with thousands at once.

• Zero manual effort after setup.

6. Custom SMS Templates with Personalization

Our ERP allows schools to define reusable SMS templates that auto-fill student names, class, and other variables.

Example: “Hello Mr. Sharma, your child Arjun (Grade 4B) has scored 88% in Mathematics.”

Benefit:

• Personal touch without manual typing.

• Faster communication that feels human.

7. Staff Workload Reduction

With automated Smart SMS:

• Teachers don’t have to call parents.

• Admins don’t manually write fee slips or notices.

• IT staff don’t run separate tools for messaging.

This reduces burnout and improves workplace satisfaction across your team.
