Comparisons
Which tool fits your admissions process?
The right choice depends on enquiry volume, team size, campuses, reporting needs and the systems you already use. Compare tools by the work they support, and by their total cost.
Spreadsheets
Familiar and free. They work for a small process with one responsible person. As enquiries grow, it becomes hard to keep history, assign next steps, avoid duplicates and measure conversion.
Generic CRM
Powerful when the school has time and expertise to design admissions stages, fields, tasks, reports and permissions. Include that effort, per-user licences and onboarding fees in the comparison.
SIS admissions modules
Your SIS is essential after enrolment, and many include application forms. Check whether they cover the relationship before the application, such as enquiries, open days and follow-up, in the depth your team needs.
School admissions CRM
Starts with enquiries, open days, visits, application stages and follow-up. EduRolia adds that layer next to your SIS, with published prices.
