Schulpilot
Digital School Management Platform
About the product
Schulpilot is a Swiss digital school management platform designed to bring the core administrative processes of educational institutions into one central system.
The platform replaces fragmented workflows across spreadsheets, documents, calendars, payment systems, and separate administrative tools with a structured digital environment for managing participants, courses, attendance, finances, documents, and day-to-day school operations.
Built primarily around the operational requirements of Swiss educational institutions, Schulpilot combines administrative management, teacher workflows, participant access, financial processes, and reporting in a single platform.
The challenge — bringing an entire school operation into one platform
School administration involves far more than managing students and courses.
Every participant has personal information, documents, course history, attendance records, invoices, payments, and administrative actions attached to them. At the same time, schools need to coordinate teachers, classrooms, schedules, course capacity, semester changes, financial processes, and internal follow-ups.
When these processes are distributed across spreadsheets, folders, email, calendars, and separate financial tools, administrative complexity grows quickly.
The challenge with Schulpilot was to create a platform capable of connecting these processes without making the system itself difficult to operate.
The platform needed to provide administrators with complete oversight while giving teachers and participants access only to the information and functionality relevant to them. Financial workflows had to reflect Swiss requirements, attendance had to connect directly to courses and participants, and administrative tasks needed to be generated from actual activity inside the system.
The result required more than individual software features. It required a connected operational system in which every part of the school administration works from the same underlying data.
What DETAY Tech built
Central School Administration
Schulpilot provides administrators with a central environment for managing the entire operational structure of a school.
Participant profiles bring personal information, documents, course assignments, attendance history, financial information, and administrative activity together in one digital record.
Instead of maintaining separate datasets for participants, courses, attendance, and payments, the platform connects these areas directly.
Administrators can manage participant registrations and statuses, organize courses and class assignments, maintain documentation, track administrative activity, and access the information required for daily operations from a single system.
This creates one consistent source of information across the organization and significantly reduces the manual coordination normally required between different administrative tools.
Course, Schedule & Attendance Management
Course management is integrated directly into the platform.
Administrators can organize courses, participants, teachers, schedules, rooms, and related operational information while maintaining visibility across the complete academic structure.
Attendance is connected directly to each course and participant. Teachers can record attendance through their own interface, while the administration receives a centralized view of attendance data and participation levels.
This allows the platform to identify cases that require attention without administrators manually reviewing individual attendance records.
Course schedules, school holidays, teacher availability, and other operational events can also be coordinated through the central calendar, giving the organization a shared view of its academic activity.
Automated Administrative Workflows
A key part of Schulpilot is its ability to turn operational data into administrative actions.
The platform uses a structured pending-task workflow to identify situations that require follow-up.
Low attendance, missing information, incomplete administrative processes, outstanding financial actions, or other defined conditions can create actionable tasks for the responsible team.
Instead of relying on administrators to remember every follow-up or manually search for exceptions, Schulpilot surfaces the cases that require attention.
This transforms the platform from a system that simply stores school data into one that actively supports the administrative workflow around that data.
Financial Management
Schulpilot integrates financial administration directly into the participant and course management process.
The platform supports Swiss QR invoices and payment workflows aligned with the requirements of Swiss educational institutions.
Invoices can be connected directly to participants and courses, while payment information can be processed and matched against the corresponding financial records.
Support for structured banking data such as camt.054 reduces the amount of manual reconciliation required when processing incoming payments.
The platform also supports structured reminder processes for overdue invoices, giving administrators visibility over outstanding payments and the actions already taken.
By connecting financial information with participant records, Schulpilot eliminates the separation between school administration and payment administration.
Teacher Portal
Teachers receive a dedicated interface focused specifically on their responsibilities.
Rather than exposing the complete administrative system, Schulpilot provides role-based access to the courses, participants, schedules, attendance functions, and information relevant to each teacher.
Teachers can access their assigned classes, manage attendance, review relevant participant information, and work with their schedule without requiring access to sensitive financial or organization-wide administrative data.
This keeps the interface focused while maintaining clear access boundaries across the platform.
Participant Portal
Participants also receive their own digital access to the school.
Through the participant portal, users can access relevant course information, schedules, documents, invoices, payment information, and personal data without contacting the administration for routine requests.
This creates a direct digital connection between the school and its participants while reducing repetitive administrative work for the internal team.
Dashboard, Reporting & Operational Visibility
Schulpilot brings operational information together through centralized dashboards and reporting.
Administrators can monitor participant activity, course volumes, attendance, financial information, pending administrative tasks, and other relevant operational data from one environment.
Instead of compiling information manually from multiple sources, management has access to a current operational picture based on the data already being generated across the platform.
Reporting and export functionality also allow schools to use this information outside the system where required.
Semester Management & Documentation
School administration follows recurring academic cycles, and Schulpilot was designed around that reality.
The platform supports structured semester closing processes, including data review, exports, archiving, and preparation for the following semester.
Course confirmations and related documentation can be generated from the information already available in the system, reducing repetitive document creation.
The result is a structured transition between academic periods rather than a manual process that has to be rebuilt at the end of every semester.
Data Protection & Access Control
Because Schulpilot handles personal, academic, and financial information, access control and data protection are fundamental parts of the platform.
Role-based permissions separate administrative, teacher, and participant access, ensuring that users only interact with the information relevant to their role.
Audit functionality provides traceability for important actions within the system, while the platform is designed around Swiss data protection requirements and GDPR-compatible processes.
With hosting infrastructure located in Switzerland, Schulpilot provides educational institutions with a platform built around the operational and data protection expectations of the Swiss market.

The platform architecture connects academic administration, financial workflows, user access, and operational automation around a shared data model.
This allows information entered in one part of the system to become immediately available to the processes that depend on it — attendance affects participant records, participant records connect to courses and invoices, payments update financial status, and operational conditions can generate administrative follow-up tasks.
The result is a connected platform rather than a collection of independent school management features.
What this project demonstrates
Schulpilot demonstrates DETAY Tech’s ability to design and build software around complex real-world operational processes.
The challenge in school management software is not simply digitizing individual tasks. It is understanding how participants, teachers, courses, attendance, documents, schedules, invoices, payments, and administrative responsibilities depend on one another — and translating those relationships into a system that remains simple for the people using it every day.
Schulpilot brings these workflows together into one structured platform while maintaining separate experiences for administrators, teachers, and participants.
For organizations still operating through disconnected spreadsheets, documents, calendars, and administrative tools, this type of platform demonstrates how custom software can become the operational foundation of the organization rather than simply another tool added to its workflow.
