Do these scenes happen in your admissions office?
Enrollment season is too intense to run on counselors' phones, Excel lists and paper planners.
A flood of messages during enrollment season
Between February and June, hundreds of parent conversations pile up on three counselors' phones. Nobody knows for sure where yesterday's parent who asked about fees ended up today, and a family who gets a late reply signs with another school.
Campus tour scheduling chaos
Tours are written into the planner by hand; two families show up at the same time, and appointments that don't appear on the principal's calendar pop up. Nobody knows who will follow up with a family who missed the tour, and a hot opportunity quietly fades away.
Which ad brings enrollments? No one knows
You spend a serious budget on Meta and Google every month, but you can’t report which campaign brought in the families who actually enrolled. Budget keeps draining into ads that don’t deliver results.
Installment & receipt tracking in Excel
Parents send receipts to their advisor’s personal WhatsApp, and accounting never hears about it. Overdue installments are only noticed at the end of the month, and the “we paid / it’s not showing” conversation with parents erodes trust.
No consistency in discount and scholarship questions
Every advisor explains sibling discounts, early enrollment and scholarship rates differently. When the figure quoted verbally changes at the quote stage, families feel misled. Quotes are prepared by hand in Word, and it’s unclear which version is current.
Re-enrollment season runs by hand
Re-enrollment announcements go out to existing parents one by one, and there’s no way to track who was reached or who responded. Parents who are considering leaving are only noticed after it’s too late.
What does ÖzgürKod do for private schools?
Scenarios built on top of general CRM tools that fit the daily flow of your admissions office.
One panel at every step of the parent journey
- Collect every enrollment inquiry from WhatsApp, Instagram, web forms and Meta Lead Forms in a single inbox with a source tag; let AI automatically flag price-sensitive and hot parents
- Distribute leads to admissions advisors with round-robin; each advisor sees only their own parent conversations, and filter by grade level (kindergarten/primary/middle/high school)
- Book campus tour appointments from your online booking page; two-way Google Calendar sync keeps the principal’s and advisors’ calendars always up to date
- Send tuition quotes in PDF with sibling and early enrollment discount scenarios; track the Draft → Sent → Approved flow in the pipeline
- Manage installment plans and due dates from the panel; when a parent sends a receipt, AI detects the image and you record the payment in one click
- Send re-enrollment and open house announcements in bulk with approved WhatsApp templates and segment targeting; see which campaign brought how many enrollments in the Meta Ads ROI Center
Every enrollment inquiry from ads, web forms, WhatsApp or Instagram automatically becomes a parent card with its source and campaign information.
The advisor assigned by round-robin listens to needs; grade level, class and school bus details are tagged, and outside business hours a chatbot gives the first response.
The family picks a suitable time on the online booking page; the tour is synced to the advisor’s and principal’s calendars with Google Calendar.
Tuition, sibling discount and scholarship scenarios are sent as PDF quotes; status is tracked in the Sent → Approved flow.
For parents moving to the enrollment stage, contract and paperwork are tracked with a checklist on the task card; overdue steps appear on the panel.
The installment plan is defined and due dates are monitored from the panel; AI detects the receipt image a parent sends and records it.
Events and announcements are sent in bulk with approved templates; during re-enrollment season, existing parents are contacted and followed up with segment targeting.
Not from a personal phone, but from the business line
Don't let Parent messages get lost on employees' phones; the line belongs to the business, the history belongs to the CRM.
In minutes with a QR code, or with the official WhatsApp Cloud API. You can keep using the WhatsApp Business app on your phone and connect the same number to the CRM at the same time (coexistence).
The chatbot answers common questions and collects parent information; a member of your team takes over the conversation whenever you want.
Send an announcement or reminder to the parent group you choose with a Meta-approved template; see how many people it reached and how many read it.
Auto-reply to a “price?” comment on your post and send the details by DM; the person who commented also lands in the inbox.
Don't track everything yourself; let it tell you what matters
It reads messages, surfaces who is waiting for a reply and what's at risk, and starts your day with a summary.
Know who to get back to first
- Message analysis: urgency, satisfaction, buying intent and risk; complaints and urgent requests are separated.
- Awaiting reply: unanswered conversations and messages requesting an appointment in one list.
- Today's tasks: a short morning summary showing who you need to follow up with that day.
- Ask a question: type questions like “How many new parent came in this month?” and get answers from your data.
AI features run on accounts with AI analysis turned on; when it's off, messages, appointments and follow-ups run on rules.
Messages, appointment, payment collection and your team — in one account
When a parent writes, their history, open quote and balance are on the same card. You don't need to make your team install a second app.
Parent cardMessages, appointments, quotes, payments and notes on one card; even if the team member changes, the history stays with the business.
Team and permissionsAssign records to team members; if you want, each person sees only their own parents.

What should you look for when choosing a CRM for Private school?
Before you decide, evaluate your candidates against these 5 criteria.
5 criteria
- A module ready for your industry. Instead of adapting a generic CRM for months Private school choose a system that is ready on day one for your workflow (record fields, tags, reminder templates).
- WhatsApp and Instagram integration. In Turkey parent most communication comes through WhatsApp and Instagram; a CRM that does not offer a unified inbox through the official API leaves half the work outside.
- Automatic reminders and follow-up. Appointment, payment and repeat reminders should live in the system, not in memory; every missed reminder is lost revenue.
- Turkish-language support and TL pricing. Dollar-based foreign tools carry exchange rate risk and an English-only support barrier; TL pricing and Turkish-language setup support make total cost predictable.
- Free trial and cancellation without commitment. Try it with your own data before you decide: choose a solution that requires no credit card, offers at least a 7-day free trial and can be canceled whenever you want.

What is a CRM for private schools used for?
It gathers the hundreds of parent inquiries that arrive through different channels during enrollment season in a single panel, distributes them to advisors and makes conversations without follow-up visible. Campus tour appointments, PDF quotes, installments and receipt tracking all run on the same screen. One important note: ÖzgürKod is not a school management system; it does not keep grades, class schedules or attendance. Its focus is enrollment acquisition, parent communication and payment collection tracking, and it works alongside your existing school software.
How does the WhatsApp integration work, and can more than one advisor use the same number?
ÖzgürKod runs on the official WhatsApp Cloud API; if you prefer, you can also connect multiple numbers with the QR method. All advisors message from the panel through the same business number; every conversation is recorded on the parent card, and even if an advisor leaves, the conversation history stays with the school. With round-robin assignment, each advisor sees only their own parents, while managers monitor all traffic.
Can I see which ad brings enrollments?
Yes. The Meta Ads ROI Center combines ad spend with leads, enrollments and revenue in one table. You see how many parent conversations came from each campaign, how many of them turned into confirmed enrollments, and the cost per lead (CPL, CPA, ROAS) by campaign. That way you can put next enrollment season's budget behind the campaigns that deliver results.
Does the system send installment reminders automatically?
No — let's be honest: ÖzgürKod does not send scheduled automatic messages. The payment tracking screen lists upcoming and overdue installments for you; with one click you send a reminder using an approved template, or you use the campaigns module to send a bulk notification to the parent segment you choose. When a parent sends a payment receipt, AI detects the image; you then record the payment. The system does not collect payments online — it is a tracking tool.
Are there grades, attendance or e-Okul integration?
No. ÖzgürKod does not offer a student information system or e-Okul integration; grade and attendance management are out of scope. What it is strong at is the part schools struggle with most: lead management during enrollment season, parent communication, the quote-and-discount process, and installment and payment receipt tracking. You keep running the academic side in your existing school management software and bring the commercial side together in ÖzgürKod.
How is parent data protected under KVKK?
Parent and prospective student data is stored with KVKK (Turkey's personal data protection law) requirements in mind. With role-based permissions, each admissions advisor can only access their own conversations; who viewed which record is logged. Data deletion and correction requests are managed through the panel. Because you use a business WhatsApp line, parent messages are kept in the school-controlled system, not on staff members' personal phones.
Private school software and CRM the same thing? Which one is ÖzgürKod?
In practice they describe the same need. Businesses usually search for "Private school software", "Private school software", "Private school appointment software“ or “customer management software”; “CRM” is this solution is the international name. ÖzgürKod delivers all of these names on one platform: parent communication, appointments, quotes and orders, payment collection and reporting are all in one place. So whatever term you search with, the solution you reach is the same; you don’t need to set up separate software.
