The GlobalIT Inquiry Application is a specialized inquiry management platform tailored for educational institutions, coaching centers, or class-based organizations. It streamlines the handling of inquiries related to courses, schedules, faculty, fees, and enrollment, offering a suite of tools to enhance operational efficiency and student engagement. Designed with class-focused businesses in mind, it includes features like Class Presence, Inquiry Reports, Notifications, Branch-Specific Data, SMS and WhatsApp Messaging (with marketing templates), Follow-Up Mechanisms, and Role-Based Access for users and admins. Below is a detailed exploration of each component, starting with the core Class Presence module.
Class Presence
The Class Presence feature serves as the central hub for managing inquiries tied to educational classes, replacing the concept of "store" with "class" or "branch" in an academic context. It provides real-time oversight of class-related activities and inquiry flows.
Purpose and Scope: Class Presence enables institutes to monitor and manage inquiries across various classes or branches (e.g., multiple coaching centers or campuses). It integrates inquiry data with class-specific details, offering visibility into student interest, staff performance, and operational needs.
Core Functionalities:
Class Profiles: Each class or branch has a profile detailing its schedule, course offerings (e.g., Math, Science), faculty assigned, fee structure, and capacity. This helps staff respond to inquiries with precise, class-specific information.
Inquiry Mapping: Inquiries are linked to the relevant class or branch based on student input (e.g., selecting “Physics Batch A”) or location, ensuring accurate assignment to staff or faculty.
Performance Metrics: The module tracks metrics like inquiry volume per class, response times, enrollment conversions, and satisfaction ratings. For instance, it can highlight if Class X receives more inquiries than Class Y.
Online Class Integration: For virtual classes, Class Presence syncs with platforms like Zoom or Google Classroom, treating online sessions as distinct “branches” for unified inquiry management.
Real-Time Updates: Faculty or branch managers receive live alerts on new inquiries, class availability (e.g., seats left), and pending tasks, enabling prompt action.
Interface and Usability: The Class Presence dashboard features a visual layout of classes or branches (e.g., a map or list view), with clickable cards showing summary data (e.g., active inquiries, faculty online). Filters allow sorting by course, location, or inquiry type.
Educational Impact: This module helps optimize class scheduling, allocate faculty, and identify popular courses. For example, a branch with high inquiry volumes but low enrollments might need better marketing or fee adjustments.
Class Presence turns inquiry data into a tool for enhancing educational offerings and student satisfaction.
Inquiry Report
The Inquiry Report tool delivers detailed analytics on class-related inquiries, supporting both operational oversight and strategic planning.
Report Creation: Users can generate reports by selecting filters like date ranges, class types, branches, or inquiry topics (e.g., fees, schedules). Outputs include PDFs, Excel files, or interactive dashboards.
Key Metrics: Reports cover total inquiries, average response times, resolution rates, enrollment outcomes, and feedback scores. Visuals like charts highlight trends, such as peak inquiry periods.
Class-Specific Insights: Filtering by class or branch reveals performance variations—e.g., one branch resolving inquiries faster than another—guiding resource allocation.
Automation: Scheduled reports (daily, weekly, monthly) deliver updates to staff or admins, ensuring consistent monitoring.
