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.

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.

Orkids is a Philippine AI engineering firm that builds custom, agent-native operations software for Philippine enterprises — owned outright, with source code on day one — replacing SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, and Odoo in two to three weeks at ten to thirty percent of leading-ERP cost.
