The founder of school steward Wu Xing was the head of an education and training institution before he founded school steward. With the expansion of institutions, management tasks such as finance and academic affairs have become heavier. Traditionally, manual or excel operations management has been unable to meet the needs of campus operations.

From this perspective, the school steward provides institutions with multi-dimensional financial management services, including tuition income, cash flow analysis, and so on, to help institutions grasp the status of funds in a timely manner.

In this process, the school housekeeper adopted the strategy of “serving the benchmark campus well and then expanding users” for market promotion.

The service process of the school housekeeper can be divided into four major steps: basic system construction, user training, coaching, and continuous service. Generally speaking, the entire delivery process will last about three months to ensure that the system can be used smoothly after the organization has landed. To this end, the school steward has set up a system implementation department to provide customers with online training and operation guidance services.
