So today I am going to write about the functionality of top 5 modules every school should use to became an effective and paperless organization OR in order achieve whatever goal they had in mind while investing in school Management software. This will help you to know 3 things i.e. what your School ERP software provider is providing you, what they should provide you and how much your school is utilizing it.
