Now we are engaged for some time, let's get connected
Educational institutions today face increasing pressure to manage large data volumes, meet parent expectations, improve transparency, and maintain smooth academic operations. Yet most schools and colleges still run daily tasks on spreadsheets, manual registers, WhatsApp groups, and disconnected software.
Admissions take too long. Attendance updates are inconsistent. Fee follow-ups drain time. Parents demand real-time updates. Teachers juggle multiple tools. Management lacks a clear view of performance.
This is exactly where Zoho stands apart.
Zoho gives institutions a unified digital ecosystem to manage everything — from enquiry handling to student lifecycle tracking, academics, communication, finance, transport, hostel, library, and compliance.
At Club Code Technology, we implement Zoho across schools, colleges, universities, training institutes, and education groups. This blog explains how Zoho helps streamline every department while reducing administrative workload.
Admissions often decide how smooth the rest of the academic year will be. Zoho makes the entire process structured and predictable.
All enquiries from the website, social media, walk-ins, calls, education fairs, or counsellors flow into Zoho CRM automatically.
The team gets:
A single dashboard for all prospective students
Status tracking for each enquiry
Auto-follow-up reminders
Email, SMS, and WhatsApp workflows
Counsellor performance visibility
Nothing gets missed, even during peak admission season.
