TBS Online is a powerful communication platform to deliver an excellent school experience to all the stakeholders of the ‘The Bishops School’ including the teachers, the parents and the students. The TBS Online is tightly coupled and integrated with The Bishop's School’s ERP system using web services.

The system allows the app users to receive messages and updates from the school using push notification. Besides messaging, the TBS Online App provides real-time access to school calendar, time table, daily homework, online payment, transportation, attendance, daily orders, grades etc.
