SchoolDesk is a school management system for Malaysian tadikas, schools and learning centres. It helps owners manage attendance, fee collection, announcements, parent communication and reports using Telegram, FPX and a simple web dashboard.

"Anak sakit hari ni" — leave noted. Cikgu Aida informed.
Built for owners who want fewer apps, fewer tabs, and fewer "did you see the message in the group?" phone calls.
No new app to install. No password to remember. Just Telegram — the chat they check forty times a day.
One tap to mark a class present. Late slips, sick leaves, and permission chases handled by the bot.
Enrollment, fees aging, payroll, multi-campus rollups — the parts of running a school that need a real screen.
Attendance, registered parents, announcement reach, fees, AI conversations — six things that tell you whether today is going to plan.
From onboarding to invoices to "did my child go to school today?" — every conversation happens in the app your families already check daily. The bot reads Bahasa Melayu and English.
Built on Telegram Bot API + Telegram Mini Apps. Inline keyboards & formatted messages are native; FPX checkout runs in a Mini App.
For the moments that need a real interface — checking the month's attendance, paying a fee, reading announcements — the bot opens a Telegram Mini App that lives right inside the same conversation. No browser. No password. Same vibe.

WhatsApp groups, Google Classroom, and your current Student Information System (SIS) all do parts of the job. SchoolDesk does the whole school day in one calm thread.
Designed for owners who've outgrown WhatsApp groups but don't want enterprise software.
Teachers mark daily attendance on a sleek web-based roster. Parents view real-time logs and report absences directly inside Telegram.
Tuition, trips, and fees paid securely via Stripe (Cards & FPX) inside Telegram. Invoices are reconciled automatically on your dashboard.
Broadcast news school-wide or narrow it down by class, year, and grade. Track read receipts and support both English and BM on the fly.
"Anak sakit hari ini" → REPORT ABSENCE classified instantly. Natural intent recognition in English and BM, not simple keyword matching.
Parents connect instantly by entering a school code and their child's unique PIN in Telegram. No emails, passwords, or app downloads required.
Monitor enrollment, parent engagement, outstanding fees, and incoming AI transcripts on a single dashboard. Manage your school's operations at a glance.
No IT department. No app rollout. A short onboarding call is all you need.
Upload a CSV or sync from your existing Student Information System (SIS). We generate a unique PIN for every student.
Parents chat 1:1 with the bot in Telegram. We route updates to the right audience by class, grade, and year.
Attendance, comms, payments — all from chat. Owners get the web cockpit. Teachers get their evenings back.
If you're switching from WhatsApp groups or your current Student Information System (SIS), here are the honest answers.
No. They open Telegram — the app they likely already check daily. The admin generates a unique PIN code inside SchoolDesk for you to share with the parent. They enter this PIN in Telegram to link instantly — no password, no email confirmation.
For the 1–3% who won't on day one, the admin can still relay key announcements manually while nudging them across — most are on within 10 days. If your community is heavily on WhatsApp, we offer a WhatsApp edition as an add-on (extra messaging cost, and the trade-off is no in-chat mini-app — parents interact through plain chat instead).
Hosted on AWS Singapore. Data encrypted at rest and in transit. SOC 2 Type II in progress. We never share student data with Telegram beyond the messages your bot sends. Full export anytime, no lock-in.
Yes. Bring a CSV or give us API access to your existing system — we'll import students, parents, fees, and historical attendance in one to two days. Free during pilot.
SchoolDesk integrates with FPX, Malaysia's licensed online-banking payment rail. Funds settle directly to your school's registered bank account — SchoolDesk never holds money. Standard FPX MDR applies; we don't take a cut on top.
SchoolDesk features a seamless fallback system. If the chatbot cannot resolve an inquiry automatically, it prompts the parent to submit a support ticket. This request is instantly forwarded to your admin cockpit as a chat thread where your staff can reply. The parent is notified immediately in Telegram, enabling a smooth follow-up.
We'll plug a test roster into a sandbox Telegram group and show you exactly what your Monday morning looks like.
