The Problem

Capital Academy, a Cambridge-affiliated school in Lahore with 800+ students, was struggling with manual parent communication processes that consumed valuable staff time and resulted in delayed fee payments.

Manual Call Overload

Admin staff spent 4-5 hours daily calling parents for fee reminders, admission inquiries, and updates — taking time away from core tasks.

Delayed Fee Collection

30-40% of parents paid fees late due to missed reminders or phone calls going unanswered, affecting school cash flow.

Admission Inquiry Drop-off

50% of admission inquiries on the website went unanswered or received delayed responses, losing potential admissions.

Inconsistent Communication

Parents complained about inconsistent updates on attendance, results, and school events across different channels.

💡 The Core Issue:

Capital Academy needed a centralized, automated communication system to reduce admin burden, improve fee collection rates, and provide timely updates to parents — all while maintaining a personal touch.

The Strategy

Capital Academy implemented WAB2C's WhatsApp Business API with automated workflows for admissions, fee reminders, and parent updates:

1

Automated Admission Chatbot

Deployed a WhatsApp chatbot on the school website to instantly respond to admission inquiries with information about:

  • Fee structure, curriculum, and facilities
  • Available seats and admission process
  • School tour booking links

💬 Average Response Time: 30 seconds (vs. 4-6 hours previously)

2

Automated Fee Reminders

Set up a 3-touch automated fee reminder workflow:

1
5 days before due date: Friendly reminder with payment link
2
On due date: Second reminder with account details
3
2 days after due date: Final reminder with late fee notice
3

Real-Time Parent Notifications

Integrated school management system with WAB2C to send instant WhatsApp notifications for:

  • Daily attendance alerts
  • Exam result publication
  • Event announcements
  • Emergency closures
4

Parent Portal OTP Authentication

Enabled secure WhatsApp OTP login for the parent portal, making it easier for parents to access their child's progress reports, fee history, and event calendar.
