Aarav Software - Delivering a student centric ERP system
Education Technology is a domain that was ignored in the beginning”, says Nitin Tiwari, Founder and MD, of Mumbai based Aarav Software speaking on the factors driving the education technology market. Drawing our attention to a recent market forecast, he continues, “Smart education technology which is closely related to Education ERP is expected to grow to approximately USD 586 Billion by 2021. That is the biggest factor for the growth of education technology in India and worldwide.” He further adds, “Automation is a necessity in all aspects of education. Starting from admission till a student leaves the institution, the entire student life-cycle demands automation.” Looking at the growing complexities in the structures of schools and colleges as well as the different needs of students that may arise at any given time one cannot help but agree. ERP solutions have been revolutionizing management of educational institutions for some time now, automating and streamlining academic processes.Nitin Tiwari aided by a management team that brings in deep industry knowledge and a zeal for technology heads Aarav Software which is spearheading to provide automation to the maximum with their enterprise grade education ERP solution, A-Education. Citing an example to explain the effectiveness of solution, Nitin Tiwari says, “Say, a student who is a native of Gujrat takes admission in an institute in Mumbai. Now, the major challenge, he requires all facilities from library, hostel, and transportation to enrolling for special classes. Here, our solution A-Education comes to the rescue eliminating the process of going from door to door. Once a particular student is identified with a permanent address to Gujarat, he will get all kinds of intimation via e-mail. You want a hostel? Go to the dashboard where everything a student may possibly want is displayed. Click on the option, check the rooms from categories with the images pictures and select what you desire.”
Meeting the student’s needs for enrolling into classes, transportation and hostel are only among the few features from among A-Education’s exhaustive array of 37 modules. A-Education has also automated the library process whereby the student can get the book delivered at his/her doorstep. The education ERP solution is also a platform that connects the different stake holders such as student, teachers and management through mobile apps, e-mails and SMS alerts for crucial matters such as application for attendance, leaves, daily assessments with detailed distribution of marks and more. The system is also quite effective in securing the safety of the student. Complementing A-Education is GRP tracking system that works in harmony with a ring and a mobile app. A-Education also acts as a strong decision support system that helps the management cut costs and make informed decisions.

The firm addresses the challenges in education with the belief that it is the student who is at the centre of the process. In the coming years, Nitin Tiwari hopes Aarav Software to emerge as the dominant player in this segment.
