Centerly
A bilingual SaaS for language institutes and training centers — enrollment, QR attendance, exams, EGP collections, and parent portals in one workspace instead of five spreadsheets.
Overview
Centerly is the OS a front desk already knows how to run: students, groups, live sessions, invoices in EGP, and family portals. I built the Next.js product end to end — marketing, onboarding, and the operator console — with Arabic and English RTL from day one, not a translation pass after English shipped.
Academics are timetable-shaped, not CRM objects. Groups have instructors. Sessions have rotating QR codes. Exams post to a gradebook families can see. Finance is EGP-native: invoices, overdue, PDF receipts, and the same totals the owner dashboard shows. Parents stop calling “was he there?” because attendance and balances live in the portal.
Multi-branch roll-up, Excel import for September intake, and plan-aware modules (Free / Growth / Pro) sit on Prisma and PostgreSQL behind the App Router. Staff, teachers, and families share one truth — enrollment, cash, and attendance — without a WhatsApp group as the system of record.
Outcomes
The capabilities that matter in a walkthrough — what a team can actually run.
- 01One workspace for the whole center — enrollment, groups, attendance, exams, and EGP collections instead of five disconnected sheets
- 02QR attendance that survives a busy hallway — rotating session codes, timestamps, and a ledger parents can open themselves
- 03EGP finance the accountant can defend — invoices, PDF receipts, overdue, and reports from the same numbers as the owner dashboard
- 04Family self-service — parent and student portals for attendance, grades, and balances, Arabic or English
- 05September intake in an afternoon — Excel import/export so a class list is not 200 rows typed by hand
- 06Multi-branch without chaos — filter every screen by site or roll up KPIs across locations on one subscription
- 07Built for Egypt — bilingual RTL, EGP by default, and workflows that match how centers actually collect
- 08Eighteen live modules — dashboard routes your staff can open today, with honest plan limits, not a roadmap slide
