Revamping Ubuddy: Transforming School Management Software for 100% Sales Growth

About the Business

UBuddy is your all-in-one school management solution designed to simplify operations and enhance efficiency. UBuddy streamlines daily tasks through automation, fosters seamless communication between teachers, students, and parents, and provides real-time insights with powerful reporting tools. Originally serving schools in Madhya Pradesh and rapidly expanding nationwide, UBuddy is revolutionizing how educational institutions manage administrative tasks and academic processes.

The Challenge

UBuddy approached us with significant challenges in their existing software, which was riddled with bugs, particularly in result generation. Some of the critical issues included:

  • Inconsistent Exam Result Patterns:

    • Some schools had subjects split into multiple entries (e.g., Hindi1 and Hindi2) but the results were aggregated under “Hindi”.

    • Variations in marking schemes: certain schools used a single total mark, while others had separate theory and practical scores, or internal versus external marks.

  • Database Design Flaws:

    • The underlying database tables were poorly structured, causing discrepancies in data handling for student promotions, detentions, and other academic processes.

  • Lack of a Universal Platform:

    • The existing solution could not adapt to the varied academic policies and exam patterns across different schools.

      Comprehensive Software Re-engineering

      • In-depth Analysis & Consultation:

        • Conducted workshops with the UBuddy team to understand unique challenges across different schools.

        • Mapped out the diverse exam structures and academic processes.

      • Database Redesign:

        • Developed a robust, scalable database schema that could handle multiple exam patterns and grading systems.

        • Standardized data structures to ensure consistency across various modules such as result generation, promotions, and detentions.

      • API & Module Development:

        • Built clean, efficient APIs to seamlessly connect front-end interfaces with the new back-end.

        • Developed modular components that allow for customization according to each school’s specific requirements.

      • Universal Platform Creation:

        • Designed a flexible, user-friendly platform adaptable for any school, regardless of its unique academic structure.

        • Integrated comprehensive error-handling features to ensure accurate and reliable result processing.
