EduFusion is cloud-based school management software: your school's records live online and open in a browser, not on one office computer. Each institute's data is kept separate from every other institute's, each person sees only what their role allows, study files are private, and passwords are stored hashed, never in plain text.

The problem: student records are easier to lose than to protect

Most schools in Bangladesh keep student details in registers, admission forms and Excel files on a shared office computer. Moving online raises a fair question: who else will be able to see this information?

  • Files travel without control

    An Excel sheet of students' phone numbers gets copied to a pen drive or forwarded in a chat, and nobody knows how many copies exist.

  • One password everyone knows

    One office computer, one password the whole staff shares, and no way to tell who opened what.

  • Everyone sees everything

    In a shared file, someone who only needs a class list can also see fees and guardians' phone numbers.

  • "It's on the cloud" explains nothing

    Principals are told their data is online, but rarely get a plain answer about who can reach it.

How EduFusion solves it

EduFusion keeps your school's records in one online system with clear walls: between your institute and every other institute, and between the admin and students. You can tell your committee exactly who can see what.

Before

Student records in registers, pen drives and shared Excel files, with no clear answer to who has a copy.

With EduFusion

One online record per student. Your institute's data is separate from others', students see only their own pages, and study files open only for signed-in members of your institute.

What's inside EduFusion's cloud-based school management software

These are the safeguards EduFusion has today. We list only what the software does, nothing more.

Keep each school's data separate

Each institute's records are kept separate from every other institute's. Another school using EduFusion can't see your students, fees or results, and you can't see theirs.

Who can see student data: access by role

The institute admin manages settings, finance and student lists. Students sign in to the student portal and reach only their own pages: their own results, fees and study materials, never another student's. They can't open any admin page.

Who can see student data: access by role

Private study files

PDFs you upload for a class open only for signed-in members of your institute, and a student sees only their own class's files. There are no public links.

Private study files

Passwords stored hashed

Passwords are stored hashed with bcrypt, never in plain text. Encourage staff and students to choose a password they don't use anywhere else.

Limits on password guessing

Sign-in attempts are limited to 5 a minute, which slows down anyone trying to guess a password. Sessions end after a day without use, so a sign-in left open on a shared computer doesn't stay open for good.

Suspended accounts blocked at once

When an account is suspended, it is blocked immediately, including any sessions that are already open.

Payments checked, transaction IDs used once

When your institute pays for a plan, EduFusion verifies the transaction ID before the plan changes, and the same transaction ID can't be used twice.

How it works

  1. Sign up: your institute's data is kept separate from every other institute's from the start.
  2. As the admin, add your students, teachers, fees and results.
  3. Give each student their own login to the student portal; they see only their own pages.
  4. Upload study files for a class; only signed-in members of your institute can open them, and students see only their own class's files.
  5. Sign out on shared computers; sessions also end on their own after a day without use.

Keeping student data: EduFusion vs Excel vs a register

A register in a locked cupboard is reasonably safe, and a password-protected Excel file is better than an open one. The real question is how well each way controls who sees what once more people need the data.

Who it's for

Principals, owners and managing committees of schools, colleges and coaching centres in Bangladesh who want to move records online and need a plain answer about safety first.

  • The principal, who has to answer the committee's question: is our data safe online?
  • The institute admin, who manages student lists, fees and settings and needs one account with full control.
  • Students and their families, who want results and fees on a phone without seeing anyone else's.

Frequently asked questions about cloud-based school software

Is cloud-based school management software safe?

It depends on the safeguards the software has, so ask for them in plain words. EduFusion keeps each institute's data separate, limits access by role, keeps study files private, stores passwords hashed, limits sign-in attempts and ends sessions after a day without use.

How do you protect student data?

Students reach only their own pages, and student lists, settings and finance are for the institute admin. Study files open only for signed-in members of your institute, and passwords are never stored in plain text.

Can another school see our data?

No. Each institute's data is kept separate from every other institute's, and on WhatsApp each institute can message only its own current students.

Who owns our data?

Please ask EduFusion directly, by email at support@edufusionbd.online or through the contact page, so you get the answer for your institute from the team.

What happens to our data if we stop using EduFusion?

Ask EduFusion before you decide: email support@edufusionbd.online or use the contact page, and the team will explain how it works for your institute.

Is EduFusion web-based, or do we install it?

It is web-based, so there is nothing to install: it opens in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Students can also install their portal on a phone like an app.
