Paper registers vs school management software

Registers are honest tools. They do not back up, they do not total themselves, and they cannot show four unpaid months without turning pages.

Backup

A register in a drawer is one incident away from gone.

Totals

Day-wise cash should not be a late-night addition.

Print when needed

Software can still print a slip. Paper cannot search last term.

Keep paper as a printout, not as the books

Many Pakistani parents still want a challan in hand. That is a print action. It is not a reason to keep the only copy of unpaid months in a bound book.
