Starter data is deleted after more than 60 days of inactivity. Its raw event history covers 90 days during use; that history window does not override the inactivity deletion policy.

The entry/exit process and any connected devices are agreed around your campus setup.

Your university defines the required approvals and responsible roles. FretBox records requests and decisions so authorised teams can follow their status.

The configured QR or face-device process records meal presence. Teams can review separate breakfast, lunch and dinner attendance totals against expected participation.

Students can voluntarily opt out when they do not plan to eat, giving the mess team better planning information. An opt-out does not automatically imply a refund or credit; any financial treatment follows the university’s policy.

Starter provides in-app alerts with a capped onboarding/emergency messaging allowance; paid plans add escalation, with more comprehensive arrangements in Large Scale.

Authorised leaders can review connected operational information such as occupancy, collections, complaints, permissions and meal participation. The depth of dashboards, report timing and history depends on the plan and the records available to the university.

A successful payment and a reconciled accounting record are separate states. CampusOS is not a prerequisite for a FretBox ERP connection.

Examples include Razorpay, Cashfree and EaseBuzz. These are examples, not an exhaustive list. Discuss your existing payment provider, banking setup and interfaces with the team to assess the connection.

Finance teams can review invoices, payment references, recorded collections and outstanding balances. Where systems are connected, exceptions need review so that payment records and central accounting records remain aligned.

Prepare student and resident records, room inventory, staff responsibilities, fee structures and the university policies that shape your workflows. Identify a campus owner and the IT and finance contacts needed for any integrations.

Both paid plans include onsite visits. Institutional includes dedicated implementation, three-day structured training and first-week onsite support. Large Scale includes personalised implementation, quarterly structured training and an ongoing onsite coordinator. Starter is self-guided.

Yes, you can bring additional systems for assessment. SAP, Oracle PeopleSoft, custom ERPs, payment providers and access devices are examples rather than a complete compatibility list. Our team reviews available interfaces, record mapping, permissions and support ownership with your IT team.

Core app and web workflows do not require new hardware. Biometric and physical gate connections are optional, with compatibility assessed for the devices you use. Confirm any hardware requirements during scoping.

After contract termination, institutions have a 30-day data export window. Institutional and student data is securely deleted at the end of that window, with a deletion certificate, subject to the legal-hold exceptions described in the Privacy Policy. Starter separately deletes data after more than 60 days of inactivity; its raw event history covers 90 days during use. Paid-plan history and reporting differ by plan.

Yes. Ask the team for the available security and data-processing documentation and the process for reviewing VAPT information. Any document-sharing conditions can be confirmed during your evaluation.
