AI-Powered, Irish-Built

Student Information Systems

Square Root Solutions is a Student Information System development company that builds systems your staff will actually trust, not five spreadsheets that quietly disagree with each other. We design around how Irish schools, ETBs, and colleges actually manage records, not a generic system with Irish terms bolted on.

The problem with most SIS platforms

Most schools don't have one source of truth for a student, they have several. Enrolment lives in one system, attendance in another, exam results somewhere else, and nobody's entirely sure which version is correct when a parent rings looking for an answer.

If you've ever managed student records in Ireland, some of this will sound familiar:

img

The same student's details get entered manually into three different systems, and eventually they stop matching

img

End-of-year reporting to the Department of Education means exporting, cleaning, and reformatting data by hand

img

A simple question, like how many students are enrolled right now, takes longer to answer than it should

img

Nobody's fully sure who has access to what, especially after staff turnover

None of that is really about the technology. It's about a system that was never built around how Irish schools actually manage a student's record, from enrolment to graduation, exactly what custom student information system development is meant to fix.

What we
actually build

As a SIS software development company offering full student information system development services, our student management software development services cover:

Discuss your project

Centralised student records

One accurate record per student, covering enrolment, attendance, results, and history, built on a student-centred system architecture with configurable academic management, so staff aren't cross-checking three systems to answer one question. This is the core of proper student database software development.

System integration

Built to connect with your LMS, timetabling, exam, and parent communication systems, including parent and student self-service portals, with genuine integration with existing education platforms, so a student's record updates once and reflects everywhere.

Role-based access control

Access scoped tightly by role, so sensitive student data stays restricted to the people who actually need it, especially important given how often staff change.

Enrolment and transition workflows

Built around how students actually move through the system, from first enrolment through to graduation or transfer, with custom workflows for each institution rather than a rigid one-size-fits-all pipeline.

Compliance-ready reporting

Reporting built for Department of Education submissions and internal decision-making alike, without the manual export-and-reformat routine.

We build student information systems from scratch, and modernise or extend existing ones for EdTech companies who already sell a student-records product.

Student Data, Connected From Enrolment to Graduation

Explore how we build secure education platforms that bring student records, attendance, academic progress and institutional workflows together, giving schools and education providers one reliable view of every learner.

EdTech

We built a scalable Learning Management Platform for MLI International Schools, connecting admins, staff, and students across Ireland and the UK. The platform automates class placement, multi-centre scheduling, and staff grading, while student apps support assessments, schedules, and leaderboards.

Centralized dashboards provide comprehensive oversight, reporting, and usage analytics across learning centres.

EdTech

We rebuilt TeachKloud’s legacy system into a robust Childcare Management Platform serving 300+ schools across Europe. The platform connects management, educator, and parent apps to streamline attendance, billing, compliance, communication, and payments. We also built Educator Pal, an AI planning assistant that generates curriculum-aligned lesson plans and policies across leading frameworks.

EdTech

We built MOSAIC, a child-led documentation platform that gives every child a digital e-storybook combining attendance, care records, learning stories, photos, and videos. Educators capture updates through a tablet app, while parents receive them instantly.

An admin panel manages services, rooms, permissions, and templates, replacing disconnected paper and digital systems.

Built for how Irish schools actually run

We know that a DEIS school and an ETB managing a dozen sites need very different things from a student record system, even though both are ultimately answering to the same Department of Education requirements. And we know that whatever we build has to hold up under an actual inspection, not just look good in a demo.

That's the standard student management system development Ireland-based schools need, with product development beyond the core SIS, not a handover once launch day is done.

Who this is for

Schools and school groups looking for a school information system development company to replace a legacy or spreadsheet-based system

ETBs needing one accurate view of students across multiple sites, built on multi-campus and multi-school architecture, exactly what a student management system development company or school management software development company should provide

Further education colleges and universities managing more complex, non-standard enrolment patterns, where university information system development matters as much as school-level needs

Data stays where it should

GDPR-aware student data management by default, hosted in Ireland, not just "somewhere in the EU." Student records are among the most sensitive data a school holds, and we treat the hosting and access controls accordingly, as the baseline, not an upgrade, the standard any credible education management system development company should meet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most projects start with a two-week Discovery Sprint that scopes the build properly, followed by a phased rollout so you're never migrating live student data without a tested plan.

It's yours. The platform, the data, and the codebase belong to you, not locked into a subscription you can't take with you.

Yes. We build for both single-school and multi-site setups, with one accurate view across all of them where needed.

Either. Some schools want a full replacement, others need something that integrates with an existing system rather than ripping it out mid-year.

Yes. Reporting is built around what's actually asked for in submissions, not a generic export that needs reformatting every time.

Carefully, with a tested migration plan agreed before anything goes live, so there's no window where records are incomplete or duplicated.

Yes. As well as building new systems, we modernise and extend existing student information systems, adding features, integrations, and scale to a product you already sell, without a full rebuild.
