The six-step launch

Every step has one job. Nothing is hidden.

This is the actual sequence, from choosing a plan to the first period marked on the teacher app.

Step 012 minutes

A plan and trial window, with no card required.

Step 0260 seconds

Step 031 minute

You get

A verified admin account with role-based access.

Step 045-10 minutes

Import students and staff

What goes live

Not a demo. The real school.

The moment setup is done, the same records are already connected across the admin console, the teacher app and the student app.

Students, staff, fees, attendance, exams, timetables and analytics in one browser tab.

Teacher app

Class attendance, assignments, marks, study material, live classes and student messages.

Student & parent app

Timetable, homework, attendance, fees, results, notices, bus tracking and direct messages.

Attendance

Class or period attendance, parent alerts and a monthly calendar that stays current.

Fees & receipts

Fee heads, instalments, UPI checkout, receipts, pending balances and a clean ledger.

Live reporting

Enrolment, collection and academic views update as the school day moves.

Migration without the spreadsheet trauma

Bring your data. We will handle the shape of it.

You do not need a perfect database to start. Export what you have from your current system and Novara will map it, check it and show you the result before anything goes live.

The first two weeks

A calm launch. Then a habit.

You do not have to switch on every module on day one. Start with the school day, then add the rest.

Before you start

The practical things school teams ask before the trial.

No. The 30-day trial gives you full platform access without a card or payment method. You only choose billing when you are ready to continue after the trial.

Most schools can complete the core setup in about 10 minutes. A clean student and staff list imports in 5-10 minutes; larger schools or messy data can take longer, and our team can help with the migration.

Yes. Start with the school you have today and add branches, users and modules as you grow. Each school remains an isolated workspace.

No. Export your current student and staff lists, and we will help map them into Novara. Your existing system can stay available while you verify the import.

No. Admins use the web console. Teachers use the Android app, and students and parents use the student Android app with a role-based view of the same school record.

You keep the same workspace and support channel. We help with adoption, permissions, fee setup and the next modules you want to switch on.

Human help, when you need it
