EDUCATION · PHILIPPINE PRIVATE SCHOOLS
Custom student, billing, and admissions systems for Philippine private schools.
Enrollment, billing, grade management, DepEd reporting — engineered for how your school actually admits, teaches, and bills.
Workday Student and Ellucian Banner are priced for US state universities, and most Philippine private schools end up patching three vendors together with a long backlog of in-house IT requests no one will get to.
What this costs you today
Three vendors that do not talk to each other
Enrollment in one system, billing in another, grades in a third. Reconciling them at the end of every term is manual work no one has time for.
DepEd reporting done by hand the week before it is due
The compliance return is assembled from spreadsheets and screenshots, because the licensed system was built for a US accreditation regime, not DepEd.
A backlog of IT requests no one will get to
Every workflow the off-the-shelf product does not cover becomes a ticket for the one in-house developer, and the queue never empties.

No education receipt is closed yet — we will not imply one. The methodology that shipped a top-ranked Philippine hospital's HIS in 3 weeks and an Enterprise B2B Provider's CRM in 3 weeks is the same one we would bring to your enrollment, billing, and DepEd reporting.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
Your operations team talks to us directly in their language. No translator. No 2-day email chain.
Your account manager sits in Cebu and joins your standups — English, Cebuano, or Tagalog. Senior architecture, AI-assisted build, human review. Custom-built for your business, not shrink-wrapped.
Questions buyers ask.
Yes. DepEd reporting is built into the data model from the start, so the return is generated, not assembled by hand each term.
We build to the actual forms your registrar files, not a generic export the registrar then has to reformat.
Yes. Admissions, enrollment, billing, and grade management run on one database, so a student record is one record, not three.
Removing the reconciliation between three vendors is usually the first relief a school feels in the first term.
Yes. We export your current rosters, ledgers, and grade history and rebuild them into a single system you own at cutover.
Migration scope is set on the first call. We tell you which records carry over cleanly and which need a one-time cleanup.
Yes. Family-facing portals for billing, grades, and announcements are a core requirement, not a premium add-on.
Access is by role, not by paid seat, so every family can see their own ledger without a per-user licence cost.
A scoped enrollment-and-billing build of comparable surface area to our receipts ships in 2–3 weeks.
Larger multi-campus scopes take longer and we say so in the proposal. We have never missed a stated date.
