Frequently Asked Questions
Realistic, truthful answers addressing licensing, hosting rights, and customization boundaries.
What is standalone school management software?
Standalone school management software is a dedicated, comprehensive ERP application deployed specifically for an individual school or educational institution. Unlike shared multi-tenant SaaS platforms, a standalone deployment runs on its own isolated database and server instance, giving the school full control over its data, custom workflows, security policies, and server resources.
Is it suitable for one school?
Yes, Krusam School ERP Standalone is engineered specifically for individual schools, private academies, standalone colleges, and school groups with multiple local branches that want a private, deep campus management system without paying per-student monthly SaaS fees.
What school modules are included?
The base product includes the complete school operational lifecycle: Academics (classes, sections, syllabus, promotions), Admissions & Health Records, HR & Payroll with Payslip generation, Fee Management with Razorpay integration, Attendance with Biometric sync, Exams & Report Cards, Library, Transport, Hostel, Inventory, Visitor Gatepass, LMS & Quizzes, and Portals for Administrators, Teachers, Students, and Parents.
Can the application be hosted privately?
Yes. The application is packaged in production-ready Docker containers and can be deployed on your institution's private virtual private server (VPS), local campus on-premise server, or private cloud account (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Hostinger). Krusam also offers managed single-tenant hosting if you prefer zero server maintenance.
Can the school use its own domain and branding?
Yes. Standalone deployment includes full white-label branding. The school can use its own custom domain (e.g., portal.yourschool.edu or erp.yourschool.ac.in), institutional logo, color scheme, custom receipt headers, and school seal on all certificates and report cards.
Can the software be customized?
Yes. Because each standalone instance is independent, custom report card layouts, specialized fee payment installment logic, custom grading scales, and school-specific administrative workflows can be modified and deployed without affecting any other institution.
Is the source code available?
Yes. Full source-code access and developer extension rights are available under an enterprise commercial license agreement. This allows the school or its IT team to modify modules, create custom integrations, and retain full technological autonomy without vendor lock-in. All licensing terms are defined in formal written agreements.
What is the difference between standalone and SaaS?
The SaaS version is a multi-tenant platform designed for software operators, resellers, or large trusts to provision and manage hundreds of separate school workspaces from a single super-admin console. The Standalone version is a deep, dedicated installation built specifically for one school or multi-branch campus group with full single-tenant isolation, deep campus modules (like Biometric sync, Transport, Hostel, Payroll, and Visitor Gatepass), and private hosting or full source-code ownership options.
