Built from real conversations with chess coaches. Every feature solves a problem that real academies face every week.
Create batches exactly how you think — Beginner U800, Intermediate U1200, Advanced U1600, Open. Set days, times, online / offline / hybrid mode, and assign coaches per batch.
Open today's session, tap PRESENT / ABSENT for each student. Takes under 60 seconds for a full batch. Timestamped, logged, and instantly reportable.
Charge per session or by the hour (recurring sessions) — per batch. Apply percentage or flat discount codes, or set custom fee overrides per student. Fees auto-debit from each student's prepaid wallet when a session is completed.
See revenue per batch, sessions conducted per coach, outstanding balances, and attendance trends. Pull on-demand or configure automated scheduled email delivery.
Students log in to see their schedule, attendance history, session statements, and wallet summary. Reduces admin overhead and routine follow-up questions.
Low balance or fees due? The system sends automatic email and WhatsApp reminders. Set it once — it runs itself and reduces manual payment follow-ups.
Run all your city locations from one admin login. Each branch manages its own coaches, batches, students, and billing — all visible and manageable from a single account.
Issue discounts per batch or per student. Top up student wallets for pre-paid billing. Track credits, balances, and redemptions — all built into the billing engine.
Admin, Manager, Coach, Student — each role sees only what it should. Complete audit log of every action taken. Enterprise-grade security at chess academy scale.
Students top up their wallet via Razorpay — UPI, debit/credit cards, and net banking — directly from the student portal. Admin enables the gateway in one click, and top-ups reflect instantly in the student's wallet.
Import hundreds of students at once from a CSV file. The system validates every row — name, gender, DOB, phone, email — and reports errors before committing. Enterprise plan feature.
Each person in your academy gets exactly the tools they need — and nothing they don't.
You see everything. Every branch, every batch, every payment, every coach's performance. The admin dashboard is your command center.
Managers oversee day-to-day operations across their assigned branches — coordinating coaches, sessions, and student enrollments without needing full admin access.
Coaches log in and see only their assigned batches. Mark attendance in under a minute — from their phone, right after the session ends.
| Time | Branch | Level | Batch | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09:00–10:00 | Koramangala | Beginner | Batch A | Mark Attendance |
| 11:00–12:00 | Indiranagar | Intermediate | Batch C | Mark Attendance |
| 17:00–18:00 | Koramangala | Advanced | Batch B | Mark Attendance |
Students log in to see their own schedule, attendance history, and billing. Full transparency — without needing to contact the coach or admin.
| When | Level | Batch | Coach |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 Mar, 09:00 | Intermediate | Batch A | Rahul S. |
| 24 Mar, 09:00 | Intermediate | Batch A | Rahul S. |
| 26 Mar, 11:00 | Advanced | Batch D | Priya M. |
Coaches mark attendance from any device after each session. Each mark is timestamped and tied to the specific session and student. You can always see who marked what and when.
No rigid SaaS billing model. Each batch charges per session (flat) or by the hour (recurring sessions), with per-student overrides. Students keep a prepaid wallet that is auto-debited when a session is completed — discount codes, custom fee overrides, and wallet credits all included.
Not just raw data dumps. ChessDesk answers: which batch has the best attendance? Which coach ran the most sessions? Which students are overdue? All on-demand or scheduled.
From 1 location to 10+ — ChessDesk grows with you. Each branch is fully isolated but visible to the admin. Managers handle branch-level operations while you see the full picture.
No IT team needed. We do the deployment. You get a running system handed to you.
We show you the software live with your academy's actual batch structure and student numbers. No slides. No generic demos. You see your academy running in ChessDesk before you commit.
Tell us about your academy — student count, branches, and setup. We share a quote and all plans include the complete software, with capacity limits as the only difference.
Within 24 hours, we deploy ChessDesk on your VPS or cloud server. We configure your branches, levels, batches, add your first coaches and students, and hand you a fully working system.
Log in, mark your first session's attendance, and you're off. Coaches use it on their phones. Students get login credentials to view their own data. After 2 weeks of data, your reports become powerful.
