Relief Manager is a cloud-based relief duty system built specifically for government and private schools in Sri Lanka. Replace manual timetable shuffling and paper relief books with smart, fair allocation and instant WhatsApp & SMS notifications — in Sinhala or English.
Designed specifically to solve the morning rush. Relief Manager automates the complex logic of school administration.
Instantly import your existing timetables. Supports both aSc Timetables (XML) and Srimalee Software (CSV/MDB). No manual entry required.
Minimises walking distance in large schools. The system automatically assigns teachers to relief periods in sections they are already teaching.
Prevents teacher burnout. The algorithm tracks assigned periods to ensure relief duties are distributed evenly across the staff every day.
Automatically generates official daily summaries, Section Head signature sheets, monthly teachers' attendance reports, and individual slip printouts.
Share schedules instantly. Export via Print, PDF, CSV, grant digital viewing accounts, or send automated WhatsApp & SMS alerts.
Designed to perfectly match your morning workflow. Quickly mark absences using their physical Attendance Book Numbers (e.g., 1 to 108).
Mark a teacher on Maternity Leave or Attached Duty once. The system will automatically mark them absent every day until their return.
Handle non-teaching activities effortlessly. Apply relief blocking to staff, and set special class/period exceptions to bypass standard rules.
The intelligent algorithm natively handles parallel-duty assignments, ensuring seamless tracking even across multi-teacher grouped subjects.
Tailor the system to your school. Map physical buildings with School Sections Configuration and define your own customisable absent types.
Protect your school's data with built-in backup tools. Download and restore complete system .sql snapshots with a single click.
Built on modern, ultra-fast PHP 8 architecture. Your school's data is hosted securely in the cloud, accessible from the office PC or mobile.
Upload your existing aSc XML or Srimalee CSV. The system parses it automatically.
Enter today's absentees by Attendance Book Number — same as the physical register.
One click. The engine assigns relief duties using fairness, proximity & subject logic.
Teachers get WhatsApp/SMS alerts. Print signature sheets and slips for the day.
Most school management software treats Sri Lankan schools as an afterthought. Generic timetable apps don't speak Sinhala, can't import an aSc Timetables export, don't understand parallel-period subjects, and have no concept of attendance book numbers. Relief Manager is different. It was designed from day one for the way Sri Lankan government schools actually work.
Whether you are a 1AB government school, a national school, a private institute or a Pirivena, the system handles the same core task in seconds: identify today's absent teachers, find fair relief candidates, notify them, and produce paperwork the section head can sign. The morning admin tasks that used to take 30 to 45 minutes are reduced to 4 clicks.
The system is built on modern PHP 8 cloud architecture with encrypted backups and bank-grade security — but it is presented as a simple, no-jargon interface that any sectional head, principal or ICT teacher can use after a 30-minute training session.
