What Is Hostel Management?

One Room Record. Everything Tied to It.

Hostel Management maps every building, floor and room once — with its type, AC status, fee and bed capacity — then keeps a live record of exactly who's in which bed, what's in the room, and what still needs fixing.

It shares the same student record as the rest of ALMA ERP, so allocating a boarder, transferring a room or raising a maintenance ticket never needs a separate warden's register.

  • Buildings, floors & rooms — type, AC status, capacity & fee
  • Allocate, transfer or vacate a boarder in a couple of clicks
  • Room inventory — furniture tracked item by item, per room
  • A maintenance ticket, raised straight from the room, tagged & tracked

What's Inside

Everything a Warden's Office Needs, in One Module

Six capabilities that replace the room register and the paper attendance sheet.

Buildings, Floors & Rooms

Room type, AC status, capacity & fee — set up once per building, organised by floor.

Allocation & Transfer

Search a student, assign a free bed, or move them to another room with a free bed.

Room Inventory

Furniture & fittings tracked item by item, per room — nothing goes missing unnoticed.

Boarder-Only Attendance

A nightly present / absent / leave roll call, kept separate from the school-wide daily register.

Weekly Mess Menu

Breakfast, lunch, snacks & dinner — timings and menu, planned a week at a time.

Room-Linked Maintenance

A broken fan or leaking tap becomes a helpdesk ticket, already tagged to the exact room.

How It Flows

From Room Allocated to Every Night Logged

Five stages, the same room record carried through the whole stay.

1

Room Allocated

A free bed assigned to a student, searched by name or admission no.

2

Inventory Checked

Furniture & fittings logged against the room from day one.

3

Attendance, Nightly

Present, absent or on leave — marked every night, per room.

4

Mess Menu, Weekly

Meals planned & published a week ahead, visible to every boarder.

Transfer or Vacate

Moved to another room, or vacated at year-end — either way, on record.

A Room Record That Does Everything

Occupants, inventory and maintenance, all on the same screen — a broken fan is a helpdesk ticket in one tap, already tagged to the room.

  • See every occupant, and allocate a free bed instantly
  • Add, edit or remove inventory items right from the room
  • Raise a maintenance ticket without leaving the room screen
  • Transfer a boarder to any room with a free bed, in one click

Knowing Where Every Boarder Is, Every Night

Nightly attendance is kept separate from the school-wide register on purpose — a warden's headcount deserves its own record.

  • Nightly present / absent / leave, logged per room, per date
  • A room can't be deleted while it still has occupants
  • Every allocation, transfer & vacate kept as permanent history
  • Only warden & admin roles can allocate or transfer a boarder
