— Everything you need

Packed with powerful features.

Designed specifically to solve the morning rush. Relief Manager automates the complex logic of school administration.

Dual-engine timetable sync

Instantly import your existing timetables. Supports both aSc Timetables (XML) and Srimalee Software (CSV/MDB). No manual entry required.

Smart "nearest class" routing

Minimises walking distance in large schools. The system automatically assigns teachers to relief periods in sections they are already teaching.

Fair workload distribution

Prevents teacher burnout. The algorithm tracks assigned periods to ensure relief duties are distributed evenly across the staff every day.

Comprehensive reports

Automatically generates official daily summaries, Section Head signature sheets, monthly teachers' attendance reports, and individual slip printouts.

Multi-channel sharing

Share schedules instantly. Export via Print, PDF, CSV, grant digital viewing accounts, or send automated WhatsApp & SMS alerts.

Smart register sync

Designed to perfectly match your morning workflow. Quickly mark absences using their physical Attendance Book Numbers (e.g., 1 to 108).

Long-term leave automation

Mark a teacher on Maternity Leave or Attached Duty once. The system will automatically mark them absent every day until their return.

Relief blocking & exceptions

Handle non-teaching activities effortlessly. Apply relief blocking to staff, and set special class/period exceptions to bypass standard rules.

Parallel-duty logic

The intelligent algorithm natively handles parallel-duty assignments, ensuring seamless tracking even across multi-teacher grouped subjects.

Advanced customisation

Tailor the system to your school. Map physical buildings with School Sections Configuration and define your own customisable absent types.

Database backup management

Protect your school's data with built-in backup tools. Download and restore complete system .sql snapshots with a single click.

Secure PHP 8 cloud portal

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.

— How it works

From morning chaos to four clicks.

1

Import your timetable

Upload your existing aSc XML or Srimalee CSV. The system parses it automatically.

2

Mark absences

Enter today's absentees by Attendance Book Number — same as the physical register.

3

Auto-allocate

One click. The engine assigns relief duties using fairness, proximity & subject logic.

4

Notify & report

Teachers get WhatsApp/SMS alerts. Print signature sheets and slips for the day.

— Why schools choose Relief Manager

The only relief teacher software built for Sri Lankan schools.

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.

— The honest comparison Relief Manager vs the old way.

— Common questions

Things schools usually ask first.

Do we need to install anything?

No. Relief Manager is a cloud web application built on PHP 8 architecture. You log in from any browser — phone, tablet, school laptop, office PC. There's nothing to install, nothing to update, and no IT maintenance burden.

Will my existing aSc or Srimalee timetable work?

Yes. The dual-engine sync supports both aSc Timetables (XML) exports and Srimalee Software (CSV/MDB) files. Just upload your existing timetable file — no need to re-enter anything by hand.

How are teachers notified about reliefs?

Multiple channels. The system sends automated WhatsApp and SMS alerts. You can also print individual slips, share PDF schedules, or grant teachers digital viewing accounts to check their own duties.

What about teachers on long leave?

Mark a teacher on Maternity Leave or Attached Duty once. The system will automatically mark them absent every working day until their return date — no need to update each morning.

Is the school data secure?

Yes. Data is hosted on encrypted cloud infrastructure with automated backups and security. You can also download .sql snapshots at any time from the built-in backup manager.

Can we cancel any time?

Plans are annual subscriptions. There's a free demo & trial environment specifically set up for your school before you commit — so you can run a full school week or two before paying.
