What CampusTip does

Built for how schools actually run

Four things schools and districts ask about first. Every module can be turned on or off per school, and data is kept when one is turned off.

See all features

Academics and records

One platform for the whole campus

Admissions, student records, attendance, classes, exams and report cards share one record per student, so nobody re-types anything.

  • Families apply online; an accepted application becomes a student and guardians in one step.
  • Attendance in a few taps by teacher, kiosk, QR or ID card, and optional face recognition with consent.
  • Assignments, quizzes and proctored exams next to a gradebook that totals itself.
  • Signed report-card PDFs from CBSE, ICSE/CISCE, State Board or US templates, verifiable by QR code.

Transport

Live bus tracking and safer journeys

Every bus on one live map, with traffic-aware arrival times, and families see only their own child's bus and stop.

  • Alerts when the bus is about five minutes away, and when the child boards or alights.
  • Route optimisation within capacity, walking-distance and ride-time limits, compared before you apply it.
  • A driver app with inspections, boarding taps that work offline, SOS and turn-by-turn voice navigation.
  • Maps we host for you, built from open data: no Google Maps fees, and students' addresses are never sent to an outside map service.

Finance and HR

Fees, payments and payroll, in the US and India

Invoices and online payments in rupees or dollars, and pay runs that need two people to approve.

  • Families pay online with Razorpay in India (UPI, cards, netbanking, wallets) or Stripe in the US (cards and ACH); card details stay on the provider's pages.
  • India payroll with CTC, EPF, ESI, professional tax, LWF and TDS, verified by your chartered accountant before go-live.
  • US payroll with FLSA overtime and NACHA files; other states' and federal withholding via a licensed payroll-tax engine connected during onboarding.
  • Payslips and leave balances in each employee's own profile, with amounts hidden until shown.

Trust and integrations

Privacy, security and AI-ready integrations

Sensitive data masked by default, every change audited, and the connections IT needs to fit CampusTip into what you already run.

  • Field-level encryption, masked values that are revealed only with a logged reason, and a privacy console for every request.
  • Designed to support FERPA, COPPA and state laws in the US, and the DPDP Act and CERT-In Directions in India.
  • Single sign-on with Microsoft, Google, Okta, SAML, OpenID Connect or LDAP, plus SCIM, MFA, signed webhooks and a REST API.
  • AI that runs on your servers or the user's device; student data is never used to train third-party models.

How it works

Live in four to eight weeks

A typical implementation takes four to eight weeks from signature, depending on the number of schools, modules and data sources. Dates are set at kickoff.

  1. Step 1: Discovery

    Kickoff, goals, modules, schools, roles, report-card format, transport scope and privacy contacts.

  2. Step 2: Set-up

    Institution, schools, bell times, time zones, modules, roles, notices, email and branding.

  3. Step 3: Data migration

    Import students, guardians, staff, classes, sections, routes and stops, with validation and dry runs.

  4. Step 4: Map data

    Build map data for your state (any US state, or any Indian state, union territory or zone), geocode addresses and run the first route optimisation.

  5. Step 5: SSO and accounts

    Connect your identity provider, SCIM provisioning, MFA policy and family invitations.

  6. Step 6: Training

    Role-based sessions for every team, plus family guides.

  7. Step 7: Pilot

    One school, grade or set of routes first; feedback and adjustments.

  8. Step 8: Go-live

    Remaining schools and users; kiosks paired; communication to families.

  9. Step 9: Hypercare

    Two weeks of daily check-ins and priority support, then hand-over to ongoing support.

Support

A named team that stays after go-live

Every institution gets a named, dedicated support resource: a customer success manager, backed by a support engineer, who knows your configuration. Onboarding, training, data migration, configuration of every module you need and help integrating the AI services you choose are included.

  • Role-based training, live or on site
  • Migration from your current systems
  • Feature requests prioritised with you
  • Standard, Professional and Enterprise tiers
How support works

FAQ

Straight answers

Is CampusTip certified (SOC 2, ISO 27001)?

No. CampusTip is designed to support compliance with FERPA, COPPA, state student-privacy laws, the DPDP Act and the CERT-In Directions, but it holds no certifications. Our engineering team ran an internal security self-assessment with open-source tools; it is not a third-party audit. A third-party penetration test can be arranged before go-live if you or your insurer require one.

Do you use Google Maps?

No. Maps, routing, live traffic and arrival prediction run on Stackwick Maps, which we host for you, built from open data (OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, plus US Census TIGER/Line in the US). Students' locations and home addresses are never sent to an outside map service, and there are no per-map-load fees.

Do we need GPS hardware on the buses?

No. Bus GPS comes from the driver's phone or tablet. Speed governors, CCTV cameras, stop-arm cameras and panic-button hardware remain your equipment; CampusTip links to the camera stream and raises its own over-speed alerts.

Is student data used to train AI?

No. Student data is not used to train third-party models, and the AI built into CampusTip runs on your server, your maps engine or the user's own device. CampusTip has no built-in generative-AI chatbot today (a built-in assistant is on the roadmap); our team can integrate the AI services you choose under your own data-protection terms.

How long does implementation take?

Typically four to eight weeks from signature, depending on the number of schools, modules and data sources. A pilot school or set of routes goes live first, followed by two weeks of hypercare.

Can we host CampusTip ourselves?

Yes. We host it for you (in an India-region or US data centre) or install it on your own server or cloud account. A dedicated site needs one server with 4–8 cores, 16 GB RAM and 250 GB of SSD.

Is there an iPhone app?

The iPhone and iPad app is available to pilot institutions through TestFlight; the App Store listing is on the roadmap. The Android app is available as a signed download and through managed Google Play, and the web app works in any modern browser with no install.

Can we bring our existing data?

Yes. Our team runs the first migration with you, and administrators use the import wizard after that: CSV and XLSX templates, OneRoster 1.2 CSV in the US, India templates that fit typical school ERP exports, a dry run before anything changes and a rollback for every batch.

Does CampusTip send SMS?

SMS is not included as a standard channel. Notifications go in-app, by push and by email; SMS through your chosen provider can be scoped on request.

Does CampusTip collect Aadhaar numbers?

No. CampusTip has no Aadhaar field, refuses import columns that look like Aadhaar numbers and rejects them in free-text fields, in line with DPDP data minimisation. The APAAR ID is optional and stored encrypted.

What does it cost?

Pricing is tailored to your enrolment and the modules you choose: a per-student or per-campus licence, one-time implementation and your support tier. Contact us for a quote.
