We built school software that reaches the classroom, the accounts desk and the front gate on one record. Admissions, fees, academics, HR and finance for a school of three hundred or a university across four campuses. No per student charges.

Most educational institutions run on a pile of disconnected systems—spreadsheets, separate fee portals, and isolated accounting software. We built Unity as a single central platform where every department, from front-gate admissions to the backend accounts desk, writes to a single unified record.
A fee portal was bought in a hurry three years ago. A learning platform added during the pandemic and never fully adopted. Tally, because the accountant knows Tally. Attendance in a spreadsheet, because nothing else fits. Every institution we walked into was running on software that had piled up rather than been chosen.
We had been implementing ERPNext since 2016 across manufacturing, healthcare and trading, and education kept behaving differently. It took us a while to understand why.
In a factory, the ERP lives with a defined set of users. Planners, stores, accounts. The shop floor mostly does not need it. A school has no such boundary. The people generating the data are teachers between two classes, admission staff answering a parent on WhatsApp, and an accountant during the one week a term when most collections arrive. If any one of those groups cannot use the system, the data is incomplete. And incomplete data in an institution is worse than no system at all, because it looks authoritative and is not.
So we did not build a fee module and integrate it with an LMS. We built one record and let every part of the institution write to it.
Two more problems shaped what we built. Education software in India is sold per student, a model that charges an institution more for doing the one thing it exists to do. And compliance, which everyone treats as an annual export problem, is really a daily workflow problem. It has to be solved where the data is created. Unity answers all three.
Unity stands on ERPNext and the Frappe framework, both open source. The table below says plainly what came from that foundation and what our engineers built on top of it. A student is entered once and exists once. There is no reconciliation between systems, because we did not leave separate systems to reconcile.
| No. | Module | What it does | Built |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Student information and academics | Admission to alumni. Digital records, admission workflows, attendance, examinations, curriculum and timetable planning, performance analytics. | Frappe EducationConfigured and extended by Hybrowlabs |
| 02 | Automated fee management | Online collection across multiple payment gateways, fee structures by programme and term, receipts, defaulter tracking, and reconciliation straight into the ledger. | Built by HybrowlabsGateway integration and fee automation on ERPNext accounting |
| 03 | Learning management | Online classes, digital assignments, assessments and per-student progress tracking. | Frappe LearningImplemented by Hybrowlabs |
| 04 | HR and payroll | The complete employee lifecycle for teaching and non-teaching staff. Onboarding, attendance, leave, payroll. | Frappe HRConfigured for institutional staffing by Hybrowlabs |
| 05 | Finance and accounting | General ledger, receivables and payables, automated bank reconciliation, and institutional financial reporting. | ERPNextChart of accounts and reporting built by Hybrowlabs |
| 06 | WhatsApp-integrated admissions CRM | Enquiries caught where parents actually are and carried into the admission workflow without a handover between tools. | Built by HybrowlabsWhatsApp integration layer on Frappe CRM |
| 07 | Progressive web app | A teacher marks attendance on a phone; a parent checks fees on whatever device is in their hand. No app store, no installation. | Built by HybrowlabsThe decision that made adoption possible |
| 08 | Timetabling and scheduling | Electives, teacher loads and room utilisation, including faculty shared across campuses. | Built by HybrowlabsScheduling logic for multi-campus institutions |
| 09 | Multi-campus architecture | Centralised control, cross-campus analytics and resource sharing for institutional groups. | Built by HybrowlabsMulti-tenant structure on the Frappe framework |
| 10 | Compliance workflows | NEP guidelines, UDISE+ reporting and CBSE norms are built into daily operation rather than bolted on in March. | Built by HybrowlabsMaintained as the rules change |
We made four core architectural, pricing, and interface decisions to ensure your data stays complete, your team adopted, and your costs predictable.
The usual approach is a fee tool integrated with an LMS integrated with an HR system. Every integration is a seam, and every seam is where data goes wrong. We put admissions, academics, fees, HR, payroll and accounting on one database from the first day.
We built Unity as a progressive web app rather than a desktop console with a mobile afterthought. It sounds like a small decision. It was the difference between adoption and abandonment.
We priced Unity as your own ERP. Enrolling more children does not increase what you pay to run the institution because we do not think growth should be a billing event.
We built on ERPNext and Frappe, both open source, so the system is yours and the data is yours. If you ever want to take it somewhere else, you can. We would rather earn the renewal.
Designed specifically for K-12 schools, colleges, and multi-campus university groups. We replace separate spreadsheets, Tally, fee portals, and learning systems with a single central platform that handles everything from admissions and fee collection to CGPA tracking, payroll, and academic compliance.
Admissions to alumni, online fee collection, timetables, attendance, HR and payroll, connected. We replace the fee portal, the learning platform, Tally and the spreadsheets with one system the whole staff can use.
CGPA, promotions, academic compliance and cross-campus control on one platform. We built for multiple curricula, faculty shared across locations, and centralised reporting.
What happens to this software in three years? - Every institution that has been burnt by school software asks this, and it is the right question. Unity is not a side project and it is not a reseller badge. We designed it, we built it, we continue to build it, and we support the institutions running on it.
Delivering ERPNext implementations since 2016, across manufacturing, healthcare, trading and education.
Business analysis, data migration, training, going live, and support that continues afterwards.
Institutions moved off Tally, spreadsheets and disconnected point tools onto one system without disrupting an academic year.
The same engineering teams that handle our enterprise ERP work maintain Unity.

“Unbelievably smooth journey. From watchmen to management, everyone uses Frappe.”

Find answers to common questions about Unity.
A product. We built it and we maintain it. What you buy is a ready education ERP, plus the implementation and long-term support of the team that wrote it.
The foundation is ERPNext and the Frappe framework, both open source and used by thousands of organisations worldwide. Everything that makes it an education ERP rather than a business ERP with a student table was built by us. The table above says which is which, module by module.
No. Unity is your own ERP with no per-student charges. It is the single biggest cost difference from typical school software.
Yes. School operations and university academics, including CGPA, promotions and compliance, run on the same platform.
Yes. We have done it repeatedly, in education and in other sectors, without interrupting an academic session.
Bring admissions, academics, fee management, HR, payroll, and accounting onto a single record with zero per-student charges.
