01

Book catalogue

Know what is on the shelf

Add each title once with its author, ISBN and category, and the library always shows how many copies are on the shelf and how many are out.

  • Search by title, author, ISBN or category
  • Find a book by its code
  • Copies on the shelf and copies out, per title
  • Most borrowed books at a glance
Library dashboard: total books, members, books issued and returned, overdue books, recent issues and returns, and quick actions
02

Issue and return

Issue a book in seconds, with a due date

Students, teachers and staff can all be library members. Issue a book to a member with a due date; when it comes back, mark it returned and the copy is on the shelf again.

  • Members: students, teachers and staff
  • Issue with a due date, return in one click
  • What each member is holding, on their record
  • Block or restore a membership
Library issue and return screen: books out on loan, the loan ledger with each borrower, issue and due dates, and loan status
03

Overdue and fines

Late books and fines, worked out for you

The overdue list shows every book still out past its due date. Send the borrower a reminder, and collect the fine the system has calculated when the book comes back.

  • Overdue books at a glance
  • Reminders to borrowers
  • Fines calculated, and the ones not yet collected listed
  • Library reports you can generate and export
Overdue books screen: books past their due date, each borrower, days late, the fine still running and whether a reminder was sent

One system

It works with the rest of your school

Fees, attendance, exams, timetable, transport, hostel and the parent portal share one set of student records — nothing is typed twice.
