The problem

School work should not live across ten different places.

Enrolment in one spreadsheet, fees in another, results on paper, payments in a bursar's phone. Term after term, the school pays for it in fee mix-ups, disputes and lost revenue.

The platform

Six connected modules, one shared record.

Every module writes to the same student and financial record, so a payment posted at the cash desk shows up in the parent's portal and the term report.

01

Student records

Admissions, profiles, guardians, documents and transfer history in one searchable register.

Admissions Guardians Documents
02

Academics & assessment

Timetables, subject allocation, CA and exam entry, and report cards built to your grading policy.

03

Fees & invoicing

Fee structures Discounts Arrears
04

Payments & balances

Paystack, bank transfer and cash-desk payments land in one record, so you can see who has paid and what is still owed.

Parents & communication

A portal per guardian with statements, receipts and results, plus notices by SMS or WhatsApp.

Fees & payments

From invoice to receipt, without a single phone call.

The bursar issues the term invoice once. Parents pay from the portal, the ledger updates itself, and the receipt is issued automatically.

Parent experience

Parents stop asking the bursar what they owe.

One login shows every child, every invoice and every receipt. It loads on a modest phone and works on 3G, because that is what most parents are using.

Login with a phone number

No app store download, no forgotten portal URL.

Every child in one summary

Balances, results and notices per child, side by side.

Receipts that never go missing

Numbered receipts stay in the portal for the whole session.

  • News, calendar and admissions updated on request
  • Enquiry forms that reach the right inbox

Optional add-on

Social media management

A steady, on-brand presence on Facebook, Instagram and more — planned around your school calendar, so open days, results and events never go unannounced.

  • A content calendar built around your term
  • Event coverage from the photos you send
  • Admissions-season and open-day campaigns
  • A monthly reach and enquiries report

Live before the next term begins.

We migrate your registers and fee sheets, configure your grading and fee policy, then train the people who will use it every day. Four weeks, one named implementation lead.
