Migrating from Fedena to Inkwelly. Straightforward, hosted or self-hosted.
Fedena has one advantage other ERPs don't — clean export tools. That makes the migration to Inkwelly clean and quick, especially if you're on self-hosted Fedena with database access.
The 14-day migration
Day 1-2: Kick-off + data access. For cloud Fedena, you export CSVs of students, fees, marks, attendance, staff. For self-hosted, we ask for database read-only access — faster, more complete.
Day 3-6: Extraction and cleaning. We convert Fedena's schema to Inkwelly's, map fee heads, map classes, reconcile duplicates.
Day 7-9: Staging load. Data loaded into Inkwelly staging. You log in and verify — your students, classes, fees, marks are all there.
Day 10-12: Training on-site + WhatsApp setup. We approve your WhatsApp templates with Meta, enable all integrations.
Day 13-14: Go-live. First month on Inkwelly with same-day support.
Why Fedena migrations go smoothly
- Standard schema — Fedena exports well, which saves us days.
- Self-hosted Fedena schools often have better historical data we can preserve.
- No vendor lock-in to fight — Fedena is cooperative on data export.
- Existing users are often the most ready to switch because they've outgrown self-hosting overhead.
Frequently asked
Self-hosted Fedena — what do you need?
Read-only PostgreSQL / MySQL access for a week. We work from a staging snapshot, never touch your production DB. Or you can send us a `pg_dump` / `mysqldump` file.
What about custom plugins?
If you've extended Fedena with custom plugins, tell us during kick-off. Most can be mapped to Inkwelly's native features. A few (niche integrations) may need staged migration.
Fedena fees vs Inkwelly pricing?
Fedena's pricing varies — self-hosted is free but has hosting / admin cost; cloud has per-user pricing. Inkwelly is per-student per-year, typically ₹1–3 lakh per school. We often end up cheaper after adding Fedena's real TCO.
Pilot terms?
90-day paid pilot. Pro-rata refund if not working. Data exports in CSV / Excel / Tally XML at any time.
