Our Product
GRIT. One school. One system.
The school operating system we designed, built and run ourselves. It is the clearest example of what True North does for its clients.
One school. One system.
GRIT is the school operating system we built for Indian schools: admissions, fees, attendance, timetables, exams, HR, payroll, transport and WhatsApp parent communication in one system, with AI that follows the school's rules.

One Database
Students, money, staff and messages share one schema, so nothing is typed twice.
A Real Timetable Engine
Google OR-Tools CP-SAT builds clash-free timetables and finds cover for absent teachers.
WhatsApp-First
Absence alerts, receipts and results reach parents the moment they happen.
Governed AI
Ask GRIT answers inside each person's permissions; question papers come from the school's own syllabus.
Case Study
How we built GRIT.
Every service we offer went into one product. Here is what that looked like.
- 01
Designed With the School
We sat with leadership, the office, teachers and accounts to learn how a school really runs, then designed every screen around the work done most often.
- 02
Engineered as One System
One PostgreSQL schema, one identity model and one academic year, so an admission becomes a student, a fee ledger and a parent login in one step.
- 03
Tested on Every Change
An automated test gate, including a PostgreSQL lane, runs before any release reaches the school.
- 04
Run on AWS in India
Containers on ECS Fargate in Hyderabad, managed PostgreSQL and encrypted, versioned document storage.
“The new interface is simple and easy to use. Compared to what we had before, it is much clearer and easier to navigate.”
