What is automation? Simply put, automation uses technology to perform tasks efficiently and safely. Because automated tasks are performed without human intervention, they save time, eliminate the possibility of human error, and ensure accuracy and consistency.
With Jackrabbit, you can automate your tuition fee posting by scheduling the fees to post later. A fee posting task can be scheduled as a one-off or as a recurring task.
