The operating system for school staff operations.

Staffora connects morning check-in to month-end payroll. Geofenced QR attendance, itemised salary ledgers, class-wise timings and a teacher mobile app — unified for single schools and multi-campus groups.

Illustrative interface with sample data.

Why Staffora

Built for the hardest part of running a school.

Faculty operations — presence, schedules, payroll and compliance — are where schools lose the most time. Staffora replaces the paper, the spreadsheets and the guesswork.

Paper registers and proxy attendance

On-campus QR standee plus satellite geofencing means staff can only check in from their registered phone while physically on campus.

Days lost to month-end payroll

A rules-driven payroll engine applies late, half-day and absence rules automatically and produces itemised deduction slips in one click.

Class-wise schedule chaos

Configure timings per grade wing, class-selective half-days and seasonal presets that flow straight into calendars and timecards.

Last-minute staff shortages

A digital leave desk gives principals an instant, real-time roster of who is in, late, on break or on approved leave.

FAQ

Questions schools ask us.

We already own biometric machines. Why switch?

Biometric devices only record punches — someone still has to export them and reconcile half-days, leaves and payroll by hand. Staffora connects attendance directly to payroll rules with no hardware to maintain. A biometric device bridge is on our roadmap for schools that want to keep existing devices.

What if a teacher has poor connectivity at the gate?

A check-in payload is tiny, so it transmits reliably over basic mobile data or campus Wi-Fi.

Can staff spoof their location?

Staffora uses high-accuracy location with mock-location detection, and check-in also requires scanning the physical QR standee placed inside your campus.

Can teachers see each other's salaries or attendance?

No. Role-based access control means staff see only their own profile, schedule, attendance and salary. Institutional records are limited to designated administrators.

Does Staffora manage students and fees?

Staffora today is a complete staff operations, attendance and payroll platform. Student management and fee collection are on the roadmap for upcoming releases.
