Buyer checklist
12 questions to ask before buying a school ERP in India
Print this, take it into every demo — including ours. Vendors who flinch at these questions will flinch again at month-end.
We publish our own scores and weak spots on the 2026 buyer’s guide. This list is the short version you can use even if Acadovia is not shortlisted.
The twelve questions
- What is the all-in first-year cost for our strength, including GST, setup, import, training and messaging?
- Mark attendance for a class of 40–60 on this Android phone, now.
- Show the EPF ECR / ESI / TDS artefact your payroll generates — not only a salary PDF.
- Which features in the deck are live in the build we would get on day one?
- Where is student data stored, and under which entity?
- How do we export everything if we leave?
- How do UPI, cash and cheque land on one student ledger?
- Who answers support — languages and hours?
- What does dual-run look like for one fee cycle?
- Can the school admin control roles without filing a ticket?
- What is metered after go-live (SMS, WhatsApp, storage, branches)?
- Can we trial on our data before we pay?
