CanopyBay

The AI ERP for schools.

Admissions, classes, HR and fees in one system. Agents prepare the work in every department, and your team approves it in one place, so you can grow without adding back-office staff.

Every team’s work, ready for a yes

Enquiry replies, cover plans, payroll and invoices are prepared by agents, each with the permissions of the person who asked. You and your team check them and approve them in one queue.

Is CanopyBay only for large schools?

No. It works for a single preschool or a group of campuses. Start with the departments you need and add more as you grow.

Does it replace our school management system?

It can. We move your records over in a few weeks per campus, and you run both side by side for one cycle before you switch.

Can parents use one app for everything?

Yes. Announcements, attendance, fees and two-way messages sit in one parent app.

Do we need a new school website?

No. Your enquiry form, tour bookings and online enrolment can link straight into CanopyBay. If you want a new site, we build one for you.
