Systems for schools and tutoring centres that keep parents informed on LINE

Enrolment, timetables, attendance, fees and parent updates in one system. Teachers use their phones, and parents get updates in the LINE app they already have.

In short

NICH TEC builds systems for private schools, tutoring centres and language schools: online enrolment, attendance that notifies parents on LINE, class and teacher timetables, fees with receipts, and grades. Student data about minors carries extra conditions under Thailand’s PDPA, often including parental consent, so we design that step in from the start.

What schools deal with

Parents ask every day

Did my child arrive? What’s the homework? Has the timetable changed? Teachers answer one chat at a time.

Fees fall behind unnoticed

Courses are paid in instalments and nobody knows who has paid up to which one.

Timetable clashes

Timetables live in several spreadsheets. When a teacher is off or a room changes, every file and every person needs updating by hand.

Paper enrolment

Forms get lost, arrive incomplete, and have to be typed in again.

What we can build for schools

Attendance and parent alerts

Teachers take attendance on a phone, and parents get a LINE message the moment their child arrives or is missing.

Class and teacher timetables

Timetables without room or teacher clashes, with changes sent automatically to everyone affected.

Online enrolment

Parents fill in the form and attach documents from their phone, straight into the system.

Fees and receipts

Instalments, invoices with a QR code, receipts on LINE and reminders before the due date.

Grades and reports

Teachers enter grades, parents follow their child’s progress, and management sees the whole school.

A parent view

Timetable, homework, announcements and attendance history in one place.

Messages the system sends on LINE go through your LINE Official Account. They count toward its monthly message quota, beyond the free quota LINE charges for a bigger plan, and they reach only people who have added your account as a friend.

Parents know the moment their child arrives

Teachers take attendance on a tablet in class. Parents get a LINE message as soon as their child arrives and can check the timetable, test scores and fees. The office sees every course on one screen.

How it helps your business

  • Parents stop calling to ask if their child arrived
  • Teachers take attendance quickly, without paper
  • The office sees unpaid fees straight away

Build your own, or buy off the shelf?

We don’t tell every business to build. If something off the shelf does the job, we’ll say so.

When off the shelf is better value

Schools that need student records and transcripts in the Ministry of Education’s formats have off-the-shelf school management software built for exactly that. Keep using it.

When your own system pays off

Custom fits tutoring centres and language schools that sell many kinds of courses, run several branches, or want parent communication on LINE their own way. It can also run alongside the software a school already uses.

Timeline and price

Attendance, LINE updates to parents and fees is usually a medium project, around 6-12 weeks. The price depends on the details, and we estimate it for free after a 30-minute call.

Questions people ask

Do parents need to install an app?

No. Parents add the school’s LINE Official Account as a friend, then get messages and open information in LINE. If you want your own app, we can build one.

Can students check in with a card or QR code?

Yes. Students scan a QR code or card at the classroom, or teachers tick names on a phone. Choose what suits your school.

Where is student data kept, and who sees it?

On a server the school chooses. Teachers see only the classes they teach, and parents see only their own child.

Does it support several branches?

Yes. Each branch has its own timetable and teachers, and management sees all branches together.
