Project Alpha: School Academic System
Development of a school academic system for managing student data, grades, attendance, and tuition payments.
Overview
The Integrated Academic System project was specifically designed to solve administrative problems at SMA Negeri 1 Contoh. Before this system, the school still used semi-manual methods with Microsoft Excel, which often made it difficult to comprehensively recapitulate grades and attendance.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Data was scattered across various divisions, the report card generation process was slow, and transparency regarding payments to parents was very low.
Solution: We developed a web-based application (custom SaaS) featuring 3 main portals:
- Admin Portal: For administrative staff (managing tuition payments and master student data).
- Teacher Portal: Exclusively for teachers to input daily grades, midterms, finals, and class attendance.
- Parent Portal: A dashboard for parents to monitor their child’s grade progress and payment status in real-time.
Technology Used
- Framework: Laravel 10
- Database: MySQL
- Frontend: Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js
- Hosting: VPS with Nginx optimization
Achieved Results
The report card printing process is now 80% faster, and the rate of late tuition payments has drastically decreased thanks to the automated WhatsApp Gateway billing notification system.
