In detail

School app and platform features, explained.

One app for everyone

Parents, students, teachers, drivers, the office and the principal all use the same Palle app.

Many school systems hand out a parent app, a teacher app and a driver app, each with its own login and its own updates. Palle is one app. Everyone installs the same thing, signs in with their mobile number, and sees only what their role needs.

  • One app to install
  • Role decided at sign-in
  • One link to share with every family

Multiple roles, single login

One person, one login, every role they hold at school.

People at school often wear more than one hat: a teacher with a child in Class 3, a driver who is also a parent, a principal who teaches a class, an office assistant who looks after transport. Each switches between their roles inside the same app, with one account and one sign-in.

  • Switch roles in a tap
  • One account per person
  • Each role keeps its own access

Parent view

Attendance, fees, homework, marks and notices for every child, on one login.

Parents see everything about each of their children on one login: attendance, fee status and receipts, homework, marks, report cards and notices. Fees can be paid from the same screen.

  • Every child on one login
  • Fees paid from the phone
  • Notices and report cards

Teacher view

Attendance, marks, homework and timetable on a teacher’s phone.

Teachers do their daily work from a phone: mark attendance, enter marks, post homework, check their timetable and reply to parents, without waiting for a computer in the staff room.

  • Attendance and marks
  • Homework and timetable
  • Messages from parents

Driver view

The day’s route, stops and student list, with the bus location shared during the trip.

Drivers open the same app to see the route, the stops in order and the students to pick up at each one. While the trip is running, the phone shares the bus location, so parents and the office can see where the bus is.

  • Route and stops in order
  • Students at each stop
  • Location shared only during the trip

Works in any browser

Nothing to install. Palle opens on phones, tablets and office computers.

Palle runs in the browser, so the office computer, the principal’s tablet and a teacher’s phone all open the same system. There is nothing to install or update.

  • Phones, tablets and computers
  • Nothing to install
  • Always the latest version

Dashboards

Charts for the principal, teachers, office, students and parents, with a to-do list for each.

Each person sees the numbers that matter to them when they sign in, with a list of what is waiting: marks to enter, leave to approve, dues to follow up.

  • A view for every role
  • To-do list on sign-in
  • Live numbers, not monthly reports

Ask Palle

Ask a question in plain words and get the answer from your school’s own records.

Type a question such as how much fee was collected last week, or how many staff were absent yesterday, and Palle answers from the school’s records and shows the dates it used. It works on the web and in the app, with links to the matching screen.

  • Plain questions, real figures
  • Shows the dates it used
  • On the web and in the app

Access by role

Each role sees only what its work needs, checked on the server.

Principal, teachers, accounts and parents each see only what their role needs. The check happens on the server, not just by hiding buttons, so nobody reaches data they should not.

  • Roles your school sets
  • Checked on the server
  • Teachers see their own classes

One student record

A detail entered once is used everywhere.

Attendance, fees, marks, messages and government returns all read from the same student record. Nothing is typed twice, and nothing goes out of step.

  • Entered once
  • Used by every module
  • No copies to keep in step

Excel import and export

Students, staff, fees and marks brought in from spreadsheets, with errors shown.

Moving to Palle starts with the spreadsheets you already have. Import students, staff, fees and marks, see any rows with problems before they go in, and export anything back to Excel.

  • Bulk import from Excel
  • Errors shown before import
  • Export any list

School groups

One login for a group of schools, with each branch kept separate.

Trusts and groups with more than one school see every branch from one login, with each school’s records, fees and staff kept apart.

  • Every branch from one login
  • Records kept separate
  • Group-wide reports

Your school’s branding

Your name, logo and colours on screens, receipts and report cards.

Parents see your school, not ours. Your name and logo appear on the screens they use and on every receipt, report card and certificate Palle prints.

  • Your name and logo
  • On receipts and report cards
  • On certificates too

Multilingual support

Palle in the language each person is most comfortable with.

Parents, teachers and office staff can use Palle in the language they read best, and notices reach parents in that language too. Student names are kept in English and Tamil, the way government returns and certificates need them.

  • Language chosen per person
  • Notices in the parent’s language
  • Names in English and Tamil for returns

Daily backups

Your school’s data backed up every day.

Your data is backed up every day and can be restored if something goes wrong, so a broken computer in the office never means lost records.

  • Backed up daily
  • Restorable when needed
  • Nothing kept only on an office computer

Change history

Who changed a mark, a fee or a record, and when.

Every change to marks, fees and records is logged with who made it and when. When a figure is questioned, the answer is one click away.

  • Who, what and when
  • Marks, fees and records
  • Visible to the principal

Open API

Palle connected to your other systems.

If your school or group already uses other software, Palle can share data with it through an API instead of someone copying figures across.

  • Connects to other software
  • No copying between systems
  • Set up with our team
Works with the rest of Palle
