A school management system for Uganda that you actually own
We build the exact system your school runs on: student records, fees, attendance, report cards and parent updates. Not a rigid subscription product you rent forever, but software you own outright, running smoothly on the mid-range Android phones your bursar and teachers already carry.
From UGX 1,000,000 Scope-based quote. Paid 50 percent to start, 25 percent at review, 25 percent at completion.
Everything a Ugandan school runs on, built to fit
These are the modules we build into a school system. We tailor them to how your school actually operates, from a single primary school to a group with multiple campuses.
Student records
One clean profile per pupil: bio data, class and stream, guardians, medical notes and academic history. Searchable in seconds instead of digging through paper files and exercise books.
Mobile Money fees
Collect school fees straight to MTN MoMo and Airtel Money, with each payment matched to the right pupil. Bursars see who has paid, who is on balance and who owes, with receipts generated automatically.
Attendance tracking
Teachers mark class attendance from a phone in a few taps. The system flags repeat absentees so you can act before a child quietly drops out.
Timetables
Build class and teacher timetables that avoid clashes, then let staff and pupils view the current schedule from any device without reprinting sheets every term.
Report cards
Enter marks per subject and the system computes grades, positions and averages, then produces printable end of term report cards in your school format.
Parent SMS and WhatsApp
Send fee reminders, results and announcements to parents by SMS and WhatsApp. It reaches guardians on any phone, including those without smartphones or data.
What you get when we hand it over
This is not a login to someone else's product. At the end, the system and everything it runs on belongs to your school.
- The full source code and the system built around your school's real workflow, not a template you bend to fit
- Your domain and hosting accounts in your school's name, so no vendor can lock you out or hold your data hostage
- Mobile Money collection wired to your MTN and Airtel numbers, with every payment tied to the correct pupil
- Staff training for bursars, teachers and administrators so the team can run it from day one
- Built to work on mid-range Android over slow data, because that is what your staff and parents actually use
Proof we can build the hard parts
We have not built a system for a named school yet, so we will not pretend otherwise. What we can show is the harder capability behind a school system: records, payments and multi-user management at scale.
Questions Ugandan schools ask us first
Custom builds start from UGX 1,000,000. The final quote depends on scope: number of pupils, campuses, whether you need Mobile Money collection, SMS and WhatsApp updates and how much your workflow differs from a standard setup. We give you a clear figure before any work starts, not a vague contact us.
A focused first version covering records, fees and report cards typically takes a few weeks. Larger systems with multiple campuses, custom reports and integrations take longer. We agree a timeline in writing before we begin so you know what to expect each term.
Every project runs on 50/25/25. You pay 50 percent to start, 25 percent at the review stage when you see the working system, and the final 25 percent at completion. You never pay the full amount upfront, and each stage is tied to real progress you can see.
You own it completely. The source code, the domain, the hosting and the Mobile Money and SMS accounts are all in your school's name. There is no monthly subscription trapping you, and no vendor can switch you off or take your pupil data if you stop paying.
Yes. We connect fee collection to MTN MoMo and Airtel Money, the two channels most Ugandan parents already use. Each payment is matched to the right pupil automatically, so your bursar is not reconciling receipts by hand at the end of term.
