Sound familiar?

Common administration problems in schools

Learner information in several spreadsheets

Different staff keep different versions of the same details.

Manual attendance

Paper registers that are slow to collate and hard to follow up.

Hard-to-track fee balances

Knowing who owes what means checking statements by hand.

Fragmented parent communication

Messages spread across WhatsApp groups, email and printed notices.

Slow reporting

Reports for the principal or governing body take too long to prepare.

Paper-based admissions

Enquiries and applications handled on paper or in an email inbox.

Data, privacy and existing systems

Handled carefully, assessed per project

Privacy and POPIA

We design systems with privacy, access control, secure handling and responsible data management in mind. POPIA responsibilities depend on the school’s role, processes, agreements and implementation environment, so requirements should be assessed for each project.

SA-SAMS and other school systems

Where relevant, we can assess data-flow, reporting and integration requirements involving existing school administration systems. Specific SA-SAMS compatibility or integration must be confirmed for each project.

Before we meet
