What is Edumerge?

edumerge is a Bengaluru company, based in HSR Layout, that has built education ERP software since 2012. It signed its first client in 2013, raised a Series A in 2015 and says it now serves more than 800 institutions and 500,000 students. The product has grown from a school app into a suite: School ERP, College ERP, an HRMS, a Finance & Control module for trusts and societies, and an AI layer called edumerge Govern. The bundle of all of these is sold as edumergeOS.

Its clearest fit is an Indian education trust or group running several campuses, where the chairman wants one dashboard across schools and colleges. Finance & Control handles trust and society accounting with consolidation, budgets against actuals per campus, procurement with approval chains and FCRA documentation, features that ordinary school apps skip. The College ERP covers outcome-based education mapping (CO-PO, PEO, PSO) for accreditation, and the HRMS computes PF, ESI, PT and TDS for teaching and non-teaching staff.

Pricing is not published. The quote page describes modular pricing where you pay for the modules you use, and the form asks for your student count in bands from 0-500 to 5,000 plus, so expect a quote that scales with size and modules. There is a free demo but no self-serve trial. edumerge claims go-live in about 7 hours, though it admits data migration can stretch that, so plan a few weeks for a real multi-campus rollout.

The weak point is the parent-facing app. On the Indian App Store it holds 2.7 stars from 236 ratings, and recent reviews repeatedly mention being logged out and forced to reset passwords. In its replies the developer blames server load and says it plans to stop forcing a password reset at OTP login. A single school of 300 students that mainly wants fee collection and parent messaging may find simpler, cheaper tools; edumerge earns its price when you need group-level finance, HR and academics together.

Best suited for: Education trusts and groups running several schools or colleges · Engineering and degree colleges preparing for outcome-based accreditation · Institutions wanting staff payroll with PF, ESI and TDS in the same system as academics · Chairmen and trustees who want consolidated fee and finance dashboards

Edumerge — frequently asked questions

How much does edumerge cost?+

edumerge does not publish prices. Its quote page describes modular pricing where an institution pays only for the modules it uses, and the form asks for student count in bands from 0-500 to over 5,000. Expect a custom quote that depends on modules, students and campuses. Ask sales for per-student and per-module figures in INR.

Does edumerge charge GST?+

The edumerge quote page does not mention GST. edumerge Solutions Private Limited is an Indian company, so a quote will normally be in INR, and you should confirm whether 18% GST is added on top. Private schools under trusts should ask for a GST invoice in the trust's name for their records.

Is there a free trial of edumerge?+

edumerge does not offer a free plan or self-serve trial on its website. You can book a free demo, where the team walks through the School ERP, College ERP, HRMS or Finance modules you are interested in. Ask for a sandbox login after the demo if you want your staff to test it.

Does edumerge have a parent mobile app?+

Is edumerge suitable for a group of schools?+

Multi-campus groups are edumerge's main target. Trustees get consolidated dashboards, each campus can be configured separately, and the Finance & Control module handles trust and society accounting with consolidation, budgets against actuals and procurement approvals. A single small school may not need this depth and could choose a simpler app.

Does edumerge handle staff payroll and PF?+

Yes. The edumerge HRMS computes salaries with PF, ESI, professional tax, TDS and gratuity and produces filing-ready reports. It also covers recruitment, biometric and geo-fenced attendance, leave, appraisals and exit management, and posts payroll journal entries into the finance module so accounts stay in sync.

edumerge vs Fedena or Entab: how does it compare?+

edumerge goes further than most Indian school apps on group finance, with trust accounting, procurement and FCRA documentation, plus college OBE mapping and a full HRMS. Fedena and Entab are long-standing school ERPs with wide adoption. If you run one school and want low cost, compare quotes; for multi-campus trusts edumerge's finance depth stands out.

Does edumerge work with CBSE and state boards?+

edumerge says its School ERP is used by CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE and state board schools and supports board-specific report card formats, exam patterns and grading structures.

How long does edumerge take to set up?+

edumerge claims go-live in about 7 hours, with data migration usually done within the same week, though it notes migration can extend this. For a multi-campus group bringing in student, fee and staff history, plan for a few weeks including training. edumerge provides dedicated implementation support and training.

Does edumerge integrate with Tally?+

edumerge does not list a Tally integration. Its Finance & Control module has its own general ledger with automatic entries from fees, payroll and procurement, plus bank reconciliation, and edumerge says it works alongside existing books. If your auditor relies on Tally, ask edumerge how exports or postings would work.
