Unlike paper registrations where your staff has to manually re-enter information on different spreadsheets, a good online registration system will eliminate wasting that data entry time. Client information and payments are collected faster, allowing you or your staff to do more marketing, recruiting or whatever else that’s more pleasing and productive than admin paperwork.

There’s less manual entry of information, meaning, if you had to pay your staff by the hour, they will have less hours to work and your admin costs will go down too. This will definitely reduce your costs and improve your bottom line.

With a good online system, once you set up your classes and lessons, all you have to do is wait for the registrations to come in. Unlike paper forms where you have to mail the form or wait for parents to print the form from your website and send it back to you, online registrations allow you to receive and organize the information automatically.

When a parent registers a kid for a class, there are at least 3 tables/spreadsheets that need to be filled out to organize your records: a contact information sheet, a class roster, a payment history sheet. As a manager you need to have at least those 3 sheets or tables to know who is who, which class they registered for, and how much they paid if they have paid at all. Doing this manually is a waste of your time. A good online system will automatically organize that information once collected, again, saving you so much time.

Online registrations allow you to have permanent records of your students and their registration activity. Even if your computer crashed and you lost all your files, you can always find registration information because it is online and accessible from anywhere. Records are usually better organized and easily searchable online than on an excel spreadsheet. You can keep an eye on your business even while on vacation. This is a peace of mind that paper registrations cannot provide.
