Building a timetable: catching clashes as you drop

Building a timetable: catching clashes as you drop

At a center with three rooms and eight teachers, a spreadsheet still holds the timetable. At six rooms and twenty teachers it does not.

The problem is not complexity. The problem is that scheduling errors do not announce themselves. A room booked for two classes at 4:30pm Thursday surfaces at 4:30pm Thursday — once students have arrived.

Blocked when placed, not when reviewed

Schoolory builds the timetable by dragging classes into position, with teacher and room clashes caught as you drop. There is no weekend review pass, because none is needed.

The difference is when you find out. An error caught at placement takes ten seconds to fix. The same error caught at class time costs a ruined session, a teacher's credibility, and several apologetic phone calls.

Attendance tied to the schedule

Attendance is taken from a tablet, or by students checking in with a QR code. That data is not only for reporting — it feeds per-session tuition, teacher payroll, and alerts for students missing too many sessions.

When the schedule and attendance live in one system, nobody reconciles two sources at month end.

And when you open another campus

Reporting rolls up across sites, while each campus's data stays scoped to its own staff. Adding a location does not mean adding a system.
