Detailed Review
Schulmanager Online is a web platform for German schools. It offers 33 modules covering the class register, grades, reports, absences, timetable and substitution planning, parent communication, bookings and more.
The operator is Schulmanager Online GmbH in Munich (Amtsgericht München, HRB 259423). The site says more than 3,500 schools use it.
Pay per Module
The school pays an annual price per module, which includes use of the software, hosting and support by email and phone. Use is free for pupils, parents and teachers and there is no one-time setup fee. A three-month trial is offered.
Published examples are EUR 89 for the leave-request module, EUR 129 for the class register and EUR 239 for messages and grades.
Integration
The platform supports single sign-on via OpenID Connect, for example with Office 365, UCS@school and IServ, and can connect to existing systems.
Hosting and Contract
The vendor states that the software runs in an ISO 27001 certified data centre in Germany and that it signs a data processing agreement with each school. Its terms are governed exclusively by German law.
Limitations to Consider
The vendor pages are in German and several modules are written for specific German states, such as Bavaria. Costs add up when a school books many modules. There is no self-hosting option and no finance or HR system.
