A month of invoices goes out in one pass, and students pay them through bKash in the app.

Chapter 01

The client and the problem

An online school's month is the same short list of jobs, over and over: raise an invoice for every student, mark who turned up to the live class, put a notice out. At Iqra's size, that list is the month. Fees were reconciled by hand at the end of it, by the collectors who had taken them.

What we built

We built the panel around those jobs rather than around a feature list. A whole month of invoices is generated in one go and filtered by year, month, batch, section, shift, gender or fee type; the invoice master shows collected against outstanding, waivers and adjustments, progress against the target, and a monthly ledger to export. It is two applications because the office and the student need different things — staff work in the web panel, students carry an Android app in Bengali that shows their own side: the day's live class opened in Google Meet, their attendance percentage and days present, their invoices, and a bKash payment made without leaving the app. Iqra is the only institution running it, and parts of it were fitted to how Iqra teaches, down to the Ibadah tracker — but the pieces that carry the month, live classes, attendance, invoicing and payment, would run another online school as they stand.
