Honest Answer

When Each Option Is the Right Call

Stay on Spreadsheets If

You have under 200 enquiries a season, one counsellor and no parent app ambitions. The cost is your time, and it may be worth it.

A Sales CRM Fits If

You only need lead follow-up and are happy to build fee plans, documents and parent communication elsewhere.

A Legacy ERP Fits If

Admissions is a small part of a campus-wide finance, HR and academic system you have already paid for and staffed.

Campus Flow Fits If

Admissions, counselling, fees and parents are the problem, you want to be live in weeks, and you want one record per family.
