Core offering

Javed Publishers is a Lahore-based educational publisher that provides an integrated five-pillar educational ecosystem for Pakistani K-12 schools: curriculum-aligned textbooks across 20+ series (Premium Books), School ERP management software, Smart Assessment (Paper Making Software) for exam paper generation, Teacher Training programs, and Digital Learning via the free LearnBee mobile app with QR-linked animated video lectures. The company sells books and subscriptions to over 1,000 partner schools and distributes through 700+ global distributors, founded in 1987.

Product overview

Javed Publishers operates a unified Educational Ecosystem built around five integrated pillars: School ERP Software (for school management), Premium Books (20+ curriculum-aligned textbook series), Smart Assessment / Paper Making Software (for automated and manual exam paper generation), Teacher Trainings (professional development workshops), and Digital Learning through the LearnBee mobile app with QR-linked video lectures. All five pillars are designed to be accessed through a single partner relationship — the ERP, books, assessment tools, training, and digital content are built to work together rather than as standalone offerings. The LearnBee app provides 2,000+ offline-ready digital titles, while the Paper Making Software gives registered schools two modes (automatic and manual) for generating curriculum-aligned exam papers in minutes. Founded in 1987 in Lahore, the company serves 1,000+ partner schools across Pakistan and distributes through 700+ distributors worldwide.
