Built for the way African schools work

  • UNEB and CBC report cards

    Grades, aggregates, divisions and positions worked out for you, with comments, printed a whole class at a time.

  • Mobile money fees

    MTN MoMo and Airtel Money into the school’s own account, matched to learners, with SMS receipts.

  • Offline registers

    Teachers take attendance on a phone even when the internet drops; it sends when the connection returns.

    SMS and WhatsApp from your own accounts, a parent portal, and results online.

  • Accounts and payroll
