SpaceBasic

SpaceBasic, operated by SBasic Applications Private Limited, provides a unified digital campus platform for universities, schools and other educational institutions. Its product modules cover hostel (student housing) management, mess and cafeteria management, campus management, fee management and multipurpose smart campus IDs, with role-based access spanning students, parents, staff, wardens, security personnel and institutional leadership.

The hostel management module handles digital student onboarding, room allotment, attendance, maintenance ticketing and complaints. The digital cafeteria module includes point-of-sale, menu and meal booking functions plus analytics aimed at reducing food waste.

Mobile apps are distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
