From a school website with online admissions to a full school management system with fee collection, attendance, parent portal, result management, and online classes — CodeForge PK builds education software for schools and academies across Quetta and Balochistan. Starting PKR 65,000. WhatsApp +92 319 2551606.
Schools in Quetta have been chronically underserved by education software. The international platforms (SAP, Oracle SIS) are absurdly expensive for Pakistani schools. The cheap "school management systems" sold by local vendors are usually buggy, hard to use, and abandoned after the first year of support. Parents end up communicating with class teachers over WhatsApp groups, fee collection is done by hand-written receipts at the school office, and attendance is tracked in paper registers that get lost.
The middle option — proper school software at fair Pakistani pricing — is what CodeForge PK delivers. We have built school management systems for academies in Quetta and Balochistan covering the full operational stack: online admissions, fee collection via JazzCash and EasyPaisa, attendance with mobile app for teachers, parent portal that actually works on parents' phones, result entry and parent-facing report cards, and online class delivery integration. Total cost: less than the annual licence fee for many international platforms.
The schools that adopt this software see clear operational benefits within the first term: 60-80% reduction in office staff workload around fee collection, near-zero lost attendance records, much faster parent communication, and the ability to run admissions and enquiries online (which expands the geographic reach for student recruitment).
Modular school software — start with what you need, expand as you go. Most schools start with website + fee collection and add modules over the following years.
Parents submit admission applications online with documents (B-form, previous school certificates, photos). Admission committee reviews and approves in admin panel. No more lost paper files.
JazzCash, EasyPaisa, bank transfer, or cash payment with receipt. Parents see fee dues, payment history, and pay from phone. Late fee automation. SMS reminders before due dates.
Mobile app for teachers to mark attendance during morning assembly or in class. Auto-SMS to parents of absent students. Monthly attendance reports for parent-teacher meetings.
Parents log in to see attendance, fees, results, homework, school events, and teacher messages. Mobile-optimised — most parents will use this on their phone, not desktop.
Teachers enter marks in admin panel. Auto-calculation of percentages, grades, positions. Parent-facing report card generated as PDF. Export to PDF for printing if needed.
Optional module for hybrid/online schools. Class scheduling, video meeting integration (Zoom/Google Meet), assignment submission, attendance for online classes.
Book inventory, issue/return tracking, fine calculation, student borrowing history. Optional barcode integration for fast checkout.
Route management, student-to-route assignment, monthly transport fee billing, driver tracking (where GPS integration is feasible).
Bulk SMS to parents, WhatsApp broadcast for announcements, in-app push notifications via parent portal. Reduces dependence on chaotic WhatsApp groups.
Schools that have used our software cite three benefits consistently: the parent portal actually works on parents' phones (most school software fails this basic test), fee collection via JazzCash/EasyPaisa has improved their cash flow timing (parents pay sooner when paying online is easier than visiting the school office), and staff time spent on routine record-keeping has dropped substantially. We are honest about what software cannot fix — software does not improve teaching quality or solve student motivation issues. What it does is free up your staff to focus on those things instead of paper-pushing.

Add-on for any tier
School management software pricing varies widely. International platforms (Veracross, SchoolMint) charge per-student annual licences that work out to absurd sums for Pakistani schools. Local vendors offer cheap solutions (PKR 50,000) that are usually buggy. CodeForge sits in the middle: PKR 65,000 for a school website with online admissions, PKR 220,000 for a complete school management system, PKR 500,000 for a full school ERP. All prices are one-time, not annual subscriptions.
Parents will use the portal if it solves real problems for them and the school enforces it through workflow design. The schools that successfully drive parent portal adoption do three things: they make fee payment portal-only (no more PKR 5,000 collected at the office in cash), they push exam results and report cards to the portal first before any paper distribution, and they reduce official school communication on WhatsApp so parents have to log in to see things. Within 2-3 months, most parents adapt. Some hold out — that is fine, schools maintain backup channels for them.
Yes. Multi-campus support is available in our Full School ERP tier (PKR 500,000+). Each campus has its own staff, students, classes, and accounts. The school administration can view consolidated reports across campuses or drill down to individual campus data. Shared resources like teachers who teach at multiple campuses are handled cleanly.
School website with admissions launches in 3-4 weeks. Basic school management system (with fees, attendance, results, parent portal) takes 8-10 weeks. Full ERP takes 14-18 weeks. We strongly recommend deploying mid-academic year rather than at session start, so staff have time to learn the system before the most intense admin pressure hits.
