The Challenge Before Qavona

Allocating bed spaces and managing boarding house registers across 7 boarding houses created friction during check-in, while boarding incident and fee records were tracked on disconnected spreadsheets.

The Qavona Solution Implemented

Centralized all residential houses and room allocations inside Qavona Hostel Management with real-time bed tracking and bursary integration.

Measured Operational Impact & Result

Check-in time on term resumption was slashed by 80% with zero double-booking, and boarding accounts synchronized directly into terminal billing.

"Housemasters can now inspect room capacities and health dietary records from their tablets instantly. It brought total serenity to our boarding administration."
