Before you decide
Bring hostel operations, administration, finance and IT into the same conversation.
Share the university briefYour ERP can remain the institutional system of record. Fretbox connects the hostel workflows around it. Integration depends on the systems, interfaces and access available; the scope is confirmed with your IT team.
Use the scoping discussion to agree the first workflows, hostels and teams, then plan the wider rollout. Module scope, dependencies and commercial terms are confirmed in the proposal.
Standard deployment is typically about one week after data preparation. ERP, biometric or multi-campus requirements may follow an indicative eight-week track. Timing is confirmed after reviewing data readiness, integration scope and staff availability.
Bring your hostel and resident counts, the workflows causing the most follow-up, your current systems and the people responsible for them. The university brief helps administration, hostel operations, finance and IT prepare together.
