One Platform for Admissions, Learning and Parents

Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds education and e-learning platforms for the UAE market. From a school management ERP with admissions, attendance, gradebook and fees to a branded LMS and parent app, we replace fragmented portals and spreadsheet reporting with one system your admin office, teachers and parents all trust — and that produces regulator reporting without a fire drill.

For UAE Schools & Institutes

School Management ERP & SIS

A school management system should carry the entire academic year, not just store names. We build admissions, student records, timetabling, attendance, assessment and fee collection as one connected system — with the KHDA, ADEK and MOE reporting UAE schools are measured on built in from the start.

Admissions & Enquiries

Enquiry capture, applications, assessments, waitlists and offer letters tracked as one pipeline.

Student Information System

A single record per student — documents, visas, medical notes, guardians and academic history.

Timetable & Attendance

Class scheduling, teacher allocation, substitutions and daily attendance with absence alerts to parents.

Gradebook & Report Cards

Assessment models, weighted grading, comment banks and printable bilingual report cards.

Fees & Collections

Fee structures, instalment plans, discounts, online payment and automated reminders that lift collection rates.

KHDA & MOE Reporting

Regulatory data extracts, inspection evidence and enrolment reporting produced without manual spreadsheets.

Teaching & Assessment

LMS & E-Learning Platforms

A learning management system earns its place when it matches how your teachers actually teach. We build custom LMS platforms with course authoring, live and recorded classes, assessments and certification — branded as yours, without per-seat licensing, and ready to sell courses commercially if that is the model.

Course Authoring

Modules, lessons, files, SCORM content and drip scheduling built for teachers, not developers.

Live & Recorded Classes

Zoom, Teams or built-in video classes with attendance capture and on-demand replays.

Assignments & Quizzes

Question banks, timed exams, auto-grading, rubrics and plagiarism-check integrations.

Certificates & Progress

Completion tracking, badges and verifiable certificates for training institutes and CPD providers.

Learning Analytics

Engagement, mastery and at-risk-learner dashboards for teachers and academic heads.

Course Marketplace

Sell courses online with subscriptions, coupons and instructor revenue shares for edtech businesses.

Parents, Students & Staff

Parent, Student & Teacher Apps

Parent satisfaction in Dubai is won in the small daily moments — knowing the bus arrived, seeing homework, paying fees in thirty seconds. We build apps that put attendance, grades, circulars, bus tracking and payments in a parent's pocket, and give teachers a fast way to record everything between classes.

Parent App

Attendance, homework, grades, circulars, permission slips and direct teacher messaging in one place.

Student App

Timetable, assignments, resources and results — mobile-first for the way students actually work.

Bus Tracking

Live route tracking, boarding scans and pick-up/drop-off alerts that give parents real peace of mind.

Teacher & Staff App

Take attendance, enter marks, log behaviour and message parents from a phone between classes.

Communication Hub

Announcements, events and emergency alerts via push, SMS, email and WhatsApp in Arabic or English.

Parent–Teacher Meetings

Online slot booking, reminders and meeting notes recorded against the student file.

Groups, Security & Scale

Multi-Campus, Safeguarding & EdTech SaaS

Whether you run a group of schools or sell an edtech product across the region, the hard parts are the same: strict access control over minors' data, clean multi-tenant architecture, and leadership dashboards that make enrolment, retention and collections visible at a glance.

Multi-Campus & Group

Run several schools or branches with central policies, shared reporting and per-campus permissions.

Safeguarding & Access Control

Granular roles, audit trails and consent tracking built around student-data protection.

HR, Payroll & Procurement

Staff records, WPS payroll, leave and purchasing connected to the same finance backbone.

Leadership Dashboards

Enrolment, retention, fee collection and academic outcomes in one board-ready view.

Integrations & Migration

Move data from legacy systems and connect to accounting, exam boards and identity providers.

AI Tutoring & Automation

AI-assisted marking, personalised practice and chatbot support for admissions and helpdesk queries.

Built for the UAE

Regulator-Ready, Bilingual & Locally Integrated

UAE education runs on its own calendar, curricula and inspection regime. We build for that reality — regulator reporting, bilingual Arabic and English portals and report cards, and fee payment methods UAE families actually use, including instalment plans.

KHDA, ADEK & MOE Ready

Reporting, inspection evidence and enrolment data structured the way UAE regulators ask for it.

Arabic & English (RTL)

Bilingual portals, report cards and parent apps with proper right-to-left Arabic support.

Local Fee Payments

Network International, PayTabs, Telr, Apple Pay and instalment plans with VAT-correct receipts.

FAQ

Common Questions

A parent or student app, or a focused LMS, starts from around AED 40,000. A school management ERP with admissions, attendance, gradebook and fees typically runs AED 90,000–180,000, and a multi-campus or edtech SaaS platform AED 180,000–300,000+. You get a fixed, itemised quote within 24 hours.

Yes. We build the full school stack — admissions and enquiry pipeline, student records, timetabling, attendance, gradebook and report cards, fee billing and collections — designed around the KHDA, ADEK and MOE reporting UAE schools have to produce.

We can, and it is usually worth it when your curriculum, assessment model or commercial offer does not fit a generic tool. We build custom LMS platforms with course authoring, assignments, quizzes, live classes, certification and analytics — branded as yours, with no per-seat licence.

Yes. Parents get an app for attendance, homework, grades, announcements, bus tracking and teacher messaging — plus online fee payment with cards, Apple Pay and instalment plans, with automatic receipts and reminders so collections stop depending on chasing.

Security is designed in: role-based access, full audit logs, encryption in transit and at rest, and UAE or regional data hosting where required. We build to UAE data-protection expectations and the safeguarding standards regulators and parents expect around minors.

A parent app or LMS launches in roughly 6–8 weeks; a full school ERP takes 3–5 months depending on integrations and data migration. You receive 100% source-code ownership and the Git repository on completion — no lock-in, ever.
