Excel and WENET

Excel is not a bad tool. It simply wasn't built for a learning centre: attendance, payments and teacher payroll never connect to each other. Here is exactly where the difference lies.

Today's attendance

Excel / paper

The teacher writes it on paper, someone copies it into Excel in the evening

WENET

The teacher marks it on their phone, the owner sees it instantly

Teacher payroll

Excel / paper

Calculated by hand at month end, takes 2-3 days

WENET

Calculated automatically from attendance and payments; the teacher watches it live

Who owes money

Excel / paper

Looked up by hand, some of it gets forgotten

WENET

Calculated automatically and always visible on the dashboard

Keeping data current

Excel / paper

If one person has the file open, the other waits

WENET

Several people work at once and the screen updates itself

Working from a phone

Excel / paper

A large spreadsheet is barely readable on a phone

WENET

A separate mobile panel for each role

Who sees what

Excel / paper

Open the file and you see everything

WENET

Role-based permissions — reception never sees payroll

Who changed it

Excel / paper

There is no way to tell

WENET

Every action in the Audit Log: who, when, what

If the file is lost

Excel / paper

No copy means it's gone

WENET

Automatic daily backups

Payment receipt

Excel / paper

Handwritten, or not issued at all

WENET

A QR-coded receipt the parent can verify themselves

Monthly report

Excel / paper

Assembled by hand from several files

WENET

Ready-made: revenue, expenses, debt, broken down by teacher

Your Excel file stays yours

We delete nothing. We migrate student lists group by group, and your old file remains with you as an archive. We do the migration ourselves — all we need from you is the list.
