What you get

AI for the jobs teachers dread

Report card remark drafts written from each student's marks, and timetables that follow rules typed in plain words.

Your school's name everywhere

Parents install an app with your school's name and logo, and your website takes admissions online.

Start with what you need

Begin with a website and parent app, then switch on fees, attendance, exams and transport on the same record.

Fees that reconcile

Concessions, instalments, fines, numbered receipts voided with a reason, and online payments into your own account.

Readers you already own

RFID gate attendance on existing readers, including older models whose vendor no longer supports them.

People you can meet

Setup and training happen with your staff, at your school where we can visit, in Hindi or English.

How it works

  1. See a demo with data like yours.
  2. Export students, staff and fee lists to Excel; we import and check every row.
  3. Run Chalkbell alongside your current system for a few days.
  4. Switch at a term boundary, with parents moving to your school's own app.

Who it's for

  • Single schools that want a hands-on setup partner
  • Schools that want an app and website in their own name
  • Principals curious about AI that keeps staff in control
  • Schools that want to start small and grow into a full ERP

Questions schools ask

What is the difference between Entab CampusCare and Chalkbell?

Both are cloud school ERPs for Indian schools. Entab CampusCare is long established and widely used. Chalkbell is newer and focuses on AI help for teachers (report card remarks and timetables), a parent app and website in the school's own name, attendance on readers the school already owns, and online fees paid straight to the school's own account.

Is Chalkbell an AI-powered school ERP?

Yes. It drafts class-teacher remarks for report cards from each student's marks and attendance, and builds clash-free timetables from rules written in plain words. Nothing is saved until a staff member approves it.

Can we switch from Entab to Chalkbell mid-session?

Yes, though a term boundary is easiest. Students, staff and fee details come in from Excel through Chalkbell's bulk import, which checks every row before saving.

Does Chalkbell print CBSE report cards?

Yes. Chalkbell builds CBSE-format report cards from term components such as Periodic Test, Notebook, Subject Enrichment and Half-Yearly or Annual exams, with co-scholastic grades and a class-teacher remark.

Works with

Every module writes to the same student record, so nothing is typed twice.
