Introduction
Managing a school is no easy task, especially when you’re receiving hundreds of parent enquiries every week. From admission questions to daily schedules, fee details, transport queries, and more, responding to each message manually isn’t just overwhelming it’s unsustainable.
If your staff is swamped, your response times are delayed, and parents are getting frustrated, it’s time to consider an intelligent solution.
Something like SmatBot.
What is SmatBot?
SmatBot is an AI-powered communication platform that helps educational institutions automate and manage conversations with parents, students, and staff 24/7. It works across multiple channels like your website, WhatsApp, and even mobile apps.
1. Handle 80% of Repetitive Questions Automatically
Most parent enquiries revolve around a common set of questions:
-
- “When does admission open?”
-
- “What’s the age criteria for Grade 5?”
-
- “How much is the annual fee?”
-
- “Where can I find the school calendar?”
SmatBot can be trained to answer these FAQs instantly, accurately and consistently without needing human intervention.
2. Work 24/7, Even When Your Staff Can’t
Parents often reach out after hours or on weekends. With SmatBot, your school remains responsive around the clock. Whether it’s midnight or a holiday, parents get the information they need without waiting for office hours.
3. Route Complex Queries to the Right People
For questions that require human input like specific concerns about a child or admissions exceptions, SmatBot can smartly escalate the conversation to the right staff member via email, SMS, or a live chat window. This ensures no enquiry is missed or stuck in a generic inbox.
4. Reduce Workload, Improve Response Time
With SmatBot handling the bulk of repetitive messages, your admin and communication teams can focus on more meaningful tasks like personalised parent interactions, planning, or student support instead of being bogged down by email overload.
