Has my child reached school safely? Has he/she got down from the bus at the right place? Is he/she doing well in studies? When are the exams/ lectures scheduled? These are the common thoughts that worry every parent across the globe. Today, when crime rate against school going children is increasing and most elementary families have both parents working, the major concern of parents and schools is to ensure safety of children both within and outside the school premises. Keeping up with a child's academic performance is another challenge of modern day parenting. Efficacious India Limited, a Mumbai based company realized a greater need to address these challenges and geared up to develop a transparent platform of communication that brings together students, teachers, parents and the school administration.

"A large number of ERP providers offer school management applications, on-line training and courses. But the area that we are focusing on is not only providing technology driven school management, but also automating child security. Our main impetus in all our present and future developments will be to address the pain points of a common man using latest available technologies," says Kamal Agrawal, CMD, Efficacious India Limited.

The software integrated with an easy to use customized dashboard for individual category of users allows admin/students/teachers/parents to access attendance, digital notice board, student's progress, attendance, time-table, syllabus, examination schedule and events at a click of a button," adds Mukund Gupta, Advisor, Efficacious India Limited.
