Step by step
One term, six steps, no re-typing between offices
Each step starts from the records the previous one created.
- Step 1
Enrol and allocate
Place learners in classes and enrol their subjects; Subject Allocation gives every class-subject pair a teacher and a number of weekly periods.
Academics - Step 2
Timetable the week
Timetable Slots fix day, period, time, teacher and room; a teacher who needs a change raises a Slot Swap Request for approval.
Timetable - Step 3
Teach and take the register
Lesson Plans, Homework and the Daily Attendance register run each day, and every register carries an option to text families about absences.
Academics - Step 4
Examine and mark
The Exam Schedule books rooms and invigilators, Exam Seating assigns seats, and marks entered per exam are validated before they count.
Assessment Engine - Step 5
Report to families
Report Cards publish averages, rank and comments, while Alert Rules message parents about absences, grades and fees on their chosen channels.
Parent Portal - Step 6
Bill and collect
Fee assignments become invoices posted to Accounting, parents pay by mobile money or card, and the Overdue Pipeline shows who still owes.
Fees & Billing
A timetable teachers can teach from, and workloads you can defend
Heads of department see periods, rooms and loads in the same place where teachers set and mark homework.
- Timetable
Every period, teacher and room on one list
Timetable Slots show day of the week, period number, start and end time, class, subject, teacher, room and whether the slot is a lesson or a break.
Explore Timetable →
- Timetable
Spot an overloaded teacher before term starts

Explore Timetable →
- Academics
Homework that is tracked, not just set
Submissions record when each learner handed work in, whether it was late, the grade out of the maximum and the teacher's written feedback.
Explore Academics →

Rooms, invigilators and seats are set once, and the mark sheets follow from the same exam record.
Assessment EngineRooms and invigilators booked per paper
The Exam Schedule lists each exam by class with date, start and end time, room and invigilator, and opens as a calendar when you need one.
Explore Assessment Engine →
Assessment EngineSeating plans with attendance at the door
Exam Seating gives every candidate a room, row and seat number and records whether they sat the paper; each exam stores its seating plan method.
Explore Assessment Engine →Parents hear about an absence the same morning
The register, the alert and the follow-up meeting are linked records, not three separate systems.
- Academics
A register that counts itself
Daily Attendance shows class, date and session with present and absent counts, the attendance rate, and a switch to send absence SMS to families.
Explore Academics →

Who uses it
What each person in the school works from
The same records, opened from a different starting screen for each role.
Principal
Reads Academic Performance and Class Rankings, signs off report cards with a principal's comment, and follows the Collection Rate through the term.
Director of studies
Builds Timetables, balances Teaching Load, approves Slot Swap Requests and publishes the Exam Schedule with its rooms and invigilators.
Class teacher
Takes the Daily Attendance register, follows up absences through the Alert Log and writes the class teacher's comment on each report card.
Subject teacher
Works from Today's Timetable, writes Lesson Plans, sets and grades Homework, and enters scores in Mark Entry for each exam.
Bursar
Assigns fee structures in bulk, generates invoices, applies bursaries and waivers, and works through the Overdue Pipeline and the Dunning Log.
Parent
Receives absence, grade and fee alerts by SMS, WhatsApp, email or the portal, pays through the link on each fee invoice and meets teachers by video.
What sets it apart
The details that save a school office hours every term
Rules and records that most schools still keep in spreadsheets.
Continuous assessment and exam weighting
Grade Results store the continuous assessment score and weight, the exam score and weight, the final score, GPA points and grade for every subject.
Promotion by rule, not by memory
Promotion Rules set a minimum average, minimum attendance and maximum failed subjects, allow conditional promotion, and each batch reports promoted and retained learners.
Approvals with a trail
The Approval Matrix routes academic records to an access group with a final approver, and Approval Logs keep a record of who approved what.
Siblings billed as one family
Family Groups link brothers and sisters to one guardian, apply a sibling discount percentage and show the consolidated total, amount paid and balance.
Syllabus coverage you can measure
Syllabus Coverage lists each chapter with hours allocated, hours used, the teacher and completion date, so heads of department see which classes are behind.
Parent engagement, scored
Engagement Scores rate each family on portal logins, meetings and form responses and give an engagement level the school can act on early.

In your country
Made for how schools bill, teach and report, country by country
Payment rails, curricula, currencies and languages that match where your school operates.
Mobile money from the parent's phone
Parents approve fee payments from their phones: M-Pesa STK Push and Airtel Money are configured as payment providers on the demo school.
Cards and regional gateways
Pesapal and Flutterwave connectors are installed for card and mobile-money payments when M-Pesa is not the family's first choice.
National curricula such as Kenya's CBC
Competency Levels, Learning Areas, Strands, Sub-Strands and Learning Indicators model the competency-based curriculum, with Rubrics for assessing each indicator.
KPSEA readiness per learner
KPSEA Readiness scores critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, citizenship and communication, with an intervention plan and a parent-informed tick.
Shop purchases charged to fees
The school shop's Charge to Student Fees payment method lets learners buy without cash, posting to a School Shop Charge to Fees journal.
Local and foreign currencies
On the demo, KES and USD are both active, and every fee invoice carries its own currency for local fee billing and international-curriculum tuition.
Staff work in their own language
Staff can work in Kiswahili for Kenya or Tanzania, in French or in Arabic, each installed as an interface language on the demo.
Statutory returns by country
The Compliance & Returns app carries country packs for Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, working from the school's own academic records.
Reports and control
The reports the head, the board and the bursar ask for
Graph, pivot and list reports that read live records, with nothing to export first.

Transcripts
Numbered transcripts with cumulative average percentage, cumulative GPA and overall grade across terms, ready for transfers and university applications.
Collection Rate and Fee Statement
Billed, paid and outstanding amounts by class, fee category and structure, as a graph, pivot or list for the finance committee.
Outstanding Aging
Unpaid fees in ageing buckets with days overdue, so the bursar can tell a late week apart from a lost term.
Aged Receivable and Profit and Loss
Fee invoices post to Accounting, so Aged Receivable, the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss reflect term billing and collections.
Getting started
Up and running before the next term opens
Set the school up once; every term after that reuses the same structures.
Bring your records in from Excel
Import students, guardians and staff from CSV or Excel files: map each column to a field and test the file before anything is saved.
Configure curriculum and grading
Choose the curriculum version, then set Grading Scales, Assessment Types and Competency Levels under Academic Configuration before the first exam.
Build fee structures once
Define Fee Categories, Fee Structures, Installment Plans, Discounts and Late Fee Policies, then use Bulk Assign Structure to bill a whole class.
Invoice the term in one run
Generate Invoices creates the term's fee invoices in bulk, and Consolidate Siblings rolls brothers and sisters into a single family bill.
Close the year with a promotion batch
Promotion Batches apply a promotion rule to a class and record how many learners were promoted and retained, ready for the new year.
One database for several campuses
Run a junior and a senior campus as separate companies in one database, sharing or ring-fencing records and switching between them from the top bar.
Questions
Questions about High School & Junior School Management
Not covered here? Contact us.
Does it handle national curricula as well as IGCSE and IB?
Yes. Each grading scale is tagged with its curriculum, so CBC competency levels, 8-4-4 grades, IGCSE and IB scales run side by side. CBC strands, sub-strands, learning indicators and KPSEA readiness have their own screens, and an IB Diploma app covers the extended essay and CAS.
Can parents pay school fees by mobile money?
Yes. On the demo, M-Pesa STK Push and Airtel Money are set up as payment providers, with Pesapal and Flutterwave connectors alongside. Every fee invoice carries a payment link and is tied to an accounting invoice, so the payment is reconciled in Accounting.
How are report cards produced at the end of term?
Teachers enter marks per exam and the marks are validated. Report Cards then bring together total marks, the average, class rank, attendance and days present. The class teacher and the principal add their comments before the card is published.
Can we alert parents automatically about absences or unpaid fees?
Yes. Alert Rules have triggers for absences, grades and fees and can send by email, SMS, WhatsApp, push notification or the parent portal. Every message is kept in the Alert Log with its channel and sent status.
Can the junior and senior sections follow different promotion rules?
Yes. Promotion Rules are set per curriculum with a minimum average, minimum attendance and maximum failed subjects, and each Promotion Batch applies one rule to one class. Separate campuses can also run as separate companies in one database.
How do we move from our current school system or spreadsheets?
Students, guardians, staff and fee data can be imported from CSV or Excel files. Each column is mapped to a field and the file is tested before import, so errors are caught before any record is created.
Does it deal with bursaries, scholarships and sibling discounts?
Yes. Fees & Finance has bursary applications that move from draft through review to approval and disbursement, scholarship funds and awards, subsidy schemes, fee waivers, and Family Groups that apply a sibling discount and show one consolidated balance.
How are timetable changes handled once term has started?
A teacher raises a Slot Swap Request naming the two slots, the reason and the effective date. The request is approved or rejected with a reason, and the approver and approval date stay on the record.
