A shared student journey

Custom ERP & admissions CRM development for colleges and universities.

Connect recruitment, admissions, academics and administration around consistent records. Start with the workflow that needs attention, then expand in agreed phases.

The admissions CRM keeps prospective students, campaign sources and counsellor activity organised. The campus ERP manages enrolled students, fees, attendance, examinations and institutional reporting. A controlled handover connects the two.

For colleges, universities, professional institutes and education groups with multiple campuses.

Know where your next admission starts

Lead management for Google PPC,
Meta Ads, seminars and more.

Give every enquiry a source, an owner and a next action. Connect online campaigns and offline events to the same admissions pipeline.

01

Google Ads / PPC

Connect campaign landing-page enquiries to the admissions CRM. Keep available campaign, UTM and click-reference data with the lead, then track qualified applications and enrolments.

Landing pages · Campaign attribution

02

Meta Ads

Scope Facebook and Instagram instant-form lead capture or website enquiries. Map fields, assign counsellors and flag failed imports through supported account access and integrations.

Lead forms · Counsellor assignment

03

Seminars & education fairs

Use event-specific QR registration forms, attendance records and validated spreadsheet imports. Keep the seminar, venue, programme interest and follow-up owner on each enquiry.

QR registration · Event follow-ups

04

Website, referrals & walk-ins

Bring organic enquiries, campus visits, referrals, phone enquiries and manually logged conversations into one queue. Preserve the original source when a prospect returns.

Source history · Duplicate checks

Measure beyond the enquiry

Which sources lead to applications and enrolments?

Compare leads, qualified enquiries, applications, offers and enrolments by campaign, event, programme or campus. Add spend data to calculate cost per qualified lead, application and enrolment.

  • Original source and subsequent touchpoints
  • Duplicate enquiries linked to the same prospect
  • Campaign and seminar conversion reports
  • Visible attribution gaps and agreed reporting rules

Campaign capture and conversion feedback are scoped around supported integrations, account permissions and consent settings. Advertising management and media spend are agreed separately. Explore education marketing services.

The admissions team’s daily workspace

Turn enquiries into a clear, accountable admissions process.

Counsellors see who needs attention, what has already been discussed and what should happen next. Managers can review the pipeline by programme, intake and campus.

Example follow-up workflow

A seminar enquiry comes in.

  1. Match the contact against existing enquiries.
  2. Record the event and preferred programme.
  3. Assign the responsible counsellor.
  4. Schedule a call and record the outcome.
  5. Track the application through admission approval.

Capture & qualify

Configurable enquiry forms, programme interest, intake, campus, contact preferences, lead stages and duplicate checks.

Assign & follow up

Routing by programme or campus, counsellor queues, reminders, overdue tasks, communication history and escalation rules.

Apply & enrol

Applications, document checklists, eligibility review, interviews, offers, fee confirmation and an approved ERP handover.

Beyond admissions

Multi-campus reporting

Campus and department permissions, programme-wise dashboards and consolidated admissions, collections and academic reports.

Already have an ERP?

Upgrade the parts that slow your institution down.

Start with a review of your current software, data, integrations and day-to-day difficulties. We assess whether to extend the ERP, connect a new admissions CRM or replace selected modules.

Request an Existing ERP Review
01

Assess the existing system

Review code or extension access, database structure, licences, hosting, performance and vendor dependencies.

02

Improve priority workflows

Add admissions CRM, lead integrations, dashboards, mobile access or missing campus modules. Simplify interfaces and repetitive tasks.

03

Roll out with a recovery plan

Test against representative data, run trial migration, reconcile records and agree a cutover window around the academic calendar.

Useful for your first discussion: the current ERP name and version, the workflows you want to improve, available source code or API access, sample report formats and your next admission cycle.

Connect the tools you rely on

College ERP & CRM integrations.

Agree which system owns each record and how changes move between tools. Build in checks, retry handling and visibility when a sync needs attention.

Marketing & admissions

Google Ads landing pages, Meta lead forms, website forms, seminar registrations and permitted conversion feedback.

We plan: Campaign fields, account permissions and lead-to-application matching.

LMS & learning platforms

Connect selected student accounts, course enrolments and academic records with the learning tools you use.

We plan: Record ownership, sync direction, supported interfaces and failed-update handling.

Payments & accounting

Connect fee collections, receipts and reconciliation to payment providers and supported accounting systems.

We plan: Transaction references, refunds, ledger mapping and duplicate payment callbacks.

Messaging & telephony

Scope email, SMS, WhatsApp and calling-provider connections for reminders and counsellor communication history.

We plan: Consent preferences, approved templates, delivery status and provider charges.

Attendance & identity

Connect supported biometric attendance devices and institutional single sign-on where suitable access exists.

We plan: Device compatibility, identity matching, permissions and correction workflows.

Existing ERP & data tools

Exchange agreed records with the current ERP, reporting tools or authorised spreadsheet imports.

We plan: API or export access, data mapping, retry logs and reconciliation reports.

Data, access & adoption

A rollout your teams can validate.

Campus records need more than a successful import. Agree the checks with admissions, finance, academics and IT before moving teams to the new system.

Reliable migration

Map fields, resolve duplicate students and leads, test sample imports, and reconcile student counts, fee balances and transaction records.

Access by responsibility

Plan campus and department permissions, audit history, export controls, backup procedures, retention and communication preferences.

Staff training & handover

Validate real scenarios with counsellors, faculty and administrators. Agree documentation, deployment access, source-code terms and post-launch support.

Choose your starting point

Development cost & rollout planning.

A focused lead-management system and a complete university ERP need different budgets. We quote against your modules, campuses, integrations, migration and launch priorities.

Before you scope your project

College ERP & admissions CRM FAQs.

What is college and university ERP development?

It is the development of software around an institution’s administrative and academic processes. An agreed scope can connect admissions, student records, fees, attendance, examinations, faculty workflows and campus reporting. Digittrix can build a new platform or extend an existing system.

How does an admissions CRM connect to a college ERP?

The CRM manages prospective students, enquiry sources, counsellor follow-ups and applications. After admission approval, agreed applicant data can create or update the student record in the ERP. Shared identifiers and duplicate checks help preserve the enquiry history without creating repeated student records.

Can we manage leads from Google PPC and Meta Ads?

Yes. We can scope Google Ads landing-page enquiry capture and supported Facebook or Instagram lead-form integrations. The CRM can store available campaign information, assign counsellors and track application and enrolment outcomes. Direct integrations and conversion feedback depend on account permissions, supported interfaces, consent settings and the agreed implementation.

Can the CRM track seminar, education fair and campus-visit leads?

Yes. Event-specific QR registration forms, attendance records, authorised spreadsheet imports and manual entry can connect offline activity to the admissions pipeline. Each record can carry an event source, programme interest, owner and next follow-up. Imports should be validated and matched against existing prospects.

Can we measure which campaigns produce actual admissions?

We can plan source-to-enrolment reporting using captured campaign or event data and agreed application stages. Reports can compare enquiries, qualified leads, applications and enrolments. Cost per application or enrolment requires reliable spend data. Missing attribution and overlapping channels should remain visible; the report does not establish guaranteed advertising results.

Can Digittrix upgrade our existing college ERP?

Yes, subject to a review of the source code or supported extension options, database, hosting, licences and access. We can scope new modules, interface improvements, performance work and integrations. The assessment determines whether to extend, connect or replace selected parts of the system.

Can you integrate our LMS, payment gateway and attendance system?

These integrations can be assessed against the exact products, versions, APIs and access available. We agree data ownership, field mapping, sync frequency, permissions, retry behaviour and reconciliation before development. Provider subscriptions, payment charges and hardware costs are identified separately.

How do you migrate existing student and fee records?

We plan authorised exports, field mapping, duplicate resolution, trial imports and reconciliation of student counts, fee balances and payment records. A phased release, backup, agreed cutover window and rollback plan help your teams validate the new workflows before full use.

How much does a custom university ERP or admissions CRM cost?

The estimate depends on modules, programmes, campuses, user roles, integrations, data migration, reporting and web or mobile scope. A focused admissions CRM and a complete campus ERP require different budgets. We provide a scoped proposal and identify hosting, messaging, third-party charges, support and any advertising services or media spend separately.

How long does development or an ERP upgrade take?

The schedule follows the agreed first release, access to the existing system, data readiness and institutional review cycles. We set milestones for discovery, design, development, integration testing, trial migration, staff training and launch, with cutover planned around admissions and examination periods.

How is access to student and lead information controlled?

The design can include role, department and campus permissions; protected connections; audit history; export restrictions; backup procedures; and retention settings. Communication preferences and consent records can be included in lead workflows. Access rules and applicable institutional requirements are reviewed for the specific project.

Do you provide advertising management, training and support?

CRM development covers the agreed software and integration work. Google Ads or Meta campaign management and media spend require a separate agreed scope. Staff training, documentation, source-code handover terms, hosting responsibilities and ongoing support coverage are set out in the development proposal.
