What's Included

Everything Built In. Nothing Extra to Buy.

♟️

Chess-Native Structure

Batches organised by rating level (U800, U1200, U1600), online/offline modes, flexible session schedules. Built the way chess coaches actually think.

One-Tap Attendance

Coaches mark PRESENT / ABSENT in under 60 seconds per batch. Timestamped, logged, and accessible to the admin.

💰

Flexible Billing Engine

Per session or by the hour (recurring sessions) — per batch, per student. Apply discount codes and custom fee overrides. Fees auto-debit from each student's prepaid wallet. No more manual calculations.

👩‍💻

Student Portal

Students log in to see their schedule, attendance history, session statements, and wallet summary. Reduces routine follow-up queries to the coach.

📊

Powerful Reports

Attendance per student, revenue per batch, sessions per coach, outstanding payments. Pull any report instantly or configure automated scheduled email delivery.

🔒

Roles & Permissions

Admin, Manager, Coach, Student — each role sees only what it should. Full audit log of every action. Enterprise-grade security at academy scale.

💳

Online Payment Collection

Students top up their wallet via Razorpay — UPI, cards, and net banking. Admin enables the gateway from the dashboard. Payments reflect instantly in the wallet balance and cover session fees automatically.

📥

Bulk Student Import

Import hundreds of students at once via a CSV file. The system validates every row — catching errors before committing — and reports them clearly. Enterprise plan feature.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to run this software?
A Linux server (VPS) with at least 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM, Docker installed, and a domain name. If you don't have any of this, we'll help you set it up. Hosting costs depend on your provider and region — we handle the deployment.
Do I need a technical background to manage this?
No. Once it's installed, the day-to-day use requires no technical knowledge. The admin dashboard is a web interface — like using any website. For the initial installation, we do it for you during the onboarding call.
What happens when my license expires?
Access to the software is suspended when your license period ends. Your data remains safe on your server. To restore access, simply renew your license. We'll notify you before expiry so there's no unexpected downtime.
Can I import my existing student data in bulk?
Yes. On the Enterprise plan, bulk CSV import is included. Download the template CSV, fill in your student data, and upload it — the system validates every row and shows any errors before committing. For Starter and Professional, students are added manually (2–3 minutes each) or we can quote a one-time migration.
Can students pay fees online?
Yes. When the admin enables the Razorpay gateway from Payment Settings, students can top up their wallet directly from the student portal — via UPI, debit/credit cards, or net banking. Once topped up, session fees are auto-debited from the wallet balance. No cash handling required, and the admin sees every transaction in the system.
Can I upgrade from Starter to Professional later?
Yes. Contact us and we'll calculate the upgrade cost for the remaining period of your license. Your data stays intact — it's the same software, just with the higher tier unlocked.
Is there a free trial?
We offer a live demo tailored to your academy's structure instead of a self-serve trial — this is more useful than clicking around an unfamiliar demo environment. Book a 15-minute call and we'll show you exactly how it works for your batches and student count. Alternatively, we can set up a 14-day trial instance on request.
