Baton

A product of Arokiadas Management & Services

Run the whole academy.
Stay audit-ready.

Baton is the operations and compliance platform built for Indian sports & coaching academies — students, fees and staff on one side; your books, payroll and tax filings on the other. Not adapted from a foreign tool.

Why Baton

The layer nobody else covers

Academies in India run on Excel, WhatsApp and a part-time accountant. The software that exists solves the front desk and leaves the hard part — the Indian back office — to you.

Indian front-office apps

Scheduling, not the books

Bookings, attendance and payments — then they hand the accounting, payroll and tax filing back to you.

Foreign tools

Priced in dollars, blind to India

Jackrabbit, iClassPro and the rest know nothing about 80G, TDS, Form 26Q, trust accounting or Indian payroll.

Baton

The back office, done right

Run the academy and keep audit-ready books, statutory payroll and CA-ready exports — in one place, in rupees.

What you get

Two halves of one platform

Take the base to run your academy; switch on the compliance modules as you need them. A module you haven't turned on simply isn't there — it never breaks the rest.

Run your academy

  • Students & roster — one clean record per child, per batch
  • Batches & scheduling — timetables, coach assignments, capacity
  • Attendance — marked from a phone
  • Fees & payments — collect by UPI, every payment recorded
  • Staff — records, coach logins, staff attendance
  • Parent view — schedule, attendance, dues; pay online
  • Announcements & reminders — WhatsApp and in-app

Run your back office

  • Accounting & compliance — proper books, trust accounting, 80G, TDS / Form 26Q, CA-ready export, bank reconciliation
  • Payroll — Indian payroll for coaches and staff, statutory handling
  • Forecast — cash-flow and revenue projections
  • Advanced WhatsApp — automatic fee reminders and campaigns
  • Tasks & ops — the work that keeps the academy running
