Booklet & Module Tracking: Automating study material distribution at the time of admission.
No more manual register entries. No more "we ran out of booklets." Here's how to automate study material distribution so every student gets what they need—and you know exactly what's left in stock.
Every coaching institute knows the drill. New student joins. Someone runs to the storage room, grabs a set of booklets, and scribbles in a register: "One JEE Module set given to Rahul Sharma." Fast forward a few months, and that register is illegible, pages are missing, and you have no idea how many booklets are left. During admission season, you run out of materials and have to scramble for reprints—while students wait.
Study material is expensive. Wastage is costly. Stockouts damage your reputation. CodePex Campus solves this with automated inventory tracking for booklets and modules. When a student is admitted, the system automatically deducts the allocated materials from stock. You know exactly what's available, what's running low, and what needs reprinting. Here's how to bring order to your study material chaos.
📚 Before Automation: The Inventory Black Hole
Lost Tracking
Register entries get missed, pages get lost. You never know exactly how many booklets are actually left.
Stockouts & Panic
During peak admission season, you run out of materials. Students wait. Reprints cost extra for urgent printing.
Wastage & Theft
Without proper tracking, materials "disappear." Extra copies given, no accountability.

💬 Success Story
"We have 12 different booklets across 4 courses. Earlier, we'd print 500 copies at a time because we never knew how many we actually needed. Sometimes we'd run out mid-admission season and pay premium rates for urgent printing. Sometimes we'd have leftovers that became obsolete when syllabus changed. With CodePex, we set reorder levels based on real-time admission trends. We print just-in-time. Our inventory costs have dropped by 35%, and we've never had a stockout since. The best part? At admission, everything happens automatically—no manual register, no errors."
