Problem
Higher education institutions often manage credit recognition and transfer for mobile students through manual, paper‑based procedures. These processes are time‑consuming, prone to errors, and provide limited visibility for both staff and students, hindering efficient advising and timely approval of mobility applications.
Solution
PIM is a browser‑based software‑as‑a‑service platform that digitizes the entire credit‑recognition workflow for national and international student mobility. The system guides users through intuitive, step‑by‑step forms, automatically validates entered data, and stores each request in a structured, searchable database. By centralizing recognition records, PIM enables academic advisors to retrieve comparable information quickly and support students with evidence‑based counseling. The platform is hosted on secure university‑grade servers and complies with GDPR, ensuring data protection while reducing administrative overhead. Integration hooks allow connection to existing campus‑management systems, so institutions can embed the workflow into their current IT landscape without disruptive changes. Continuous updates and support are provided by Paravo, guaranteeing long‑term reliability and alignment with evolving academic policies.
