Down to the report card
Dual-system architecture
Both ladders, built in, not one bolted onto the other
A Cameroonian school runs the Anglophone subsystem, the Francophone subsystem, or both at once. Each keeps its own marking scale, its own report card and its own vocabulary.

Séquences
Sous-système francophone
Séquences, terms and MINESEC report cards
Six séquences, three terms. The average is computed séquence by séquence, then consolidated per term.
A coefficient on every subject. Rank, the moyenne générale and the appreciation all follow from it.
Report cards in the expected form. The bulletin carries the school’s own stamp and can be reissued without losing the version already signed.
Fees and reconciliation
MTN MoMo and Orange Money, reconciled on arrival
A parent pays from the phone they already use. The payment lands against the right pupil, on the right invoice, with a receipt at both ends.
A receipt that can be checked
BeforeA bordereau nobody can search. A parent pays at a counter, the slip goes in a folder, and the balance is only as current as the last person to open it.
The payment carries the pupil
A charge is raised against a pupil and paid against that charge, so there is no step where a human decides whose money this was.
Every receipt carries a reference the bursary can look up and a family can quote, so a dispute is a lookup rather than an argument.
The day closes itself
BeforeReconciled by hand, at night. Somebody reads a carrier statement against a ledger and types the difference in. Every keystroke is a chance to put a payment on the wrong child.
Settled once, however often it is told
A carrier that repeats a callback does not raise a second receipt; the ledger is written once and the second telling is ignored.
Income, expenses and the day’s takings are already added up when the bursar comes to close, because each one was written as it happened.
The family is told
BeforeThe family finds out last. A parent who paid last week cannot tell whether it landed until they come in and ask.
Both ends hold the same record
The bursary sees the payment and the family sees the receipt, from the same row, at the same moment.
An invoice raised or a payment received reaches the parent’s portal, and by WhatsApp where the school has it configured.
One product, four jobs
Four portals, one set of records
Everyone signs in at the same door. What opens behind it is decided by the role the school gave them.

Built for the network you have
When the power goes and the line drops, the school keeps working
Designed for schools where the electricity fails before the fibre does, and where a teacher’s phone is the most reliable computer on the campus.
Offline first, then it catches up
Marks and the register are taken with no connection at all and queue on the device. When the signal comes back the queue is sent and reconciled, in order.
Light enough for 2G
No framework, no bundler, no megabyte of JavaScript. The pages are HTML and the assets are cached by a service worker, so a repeat visit costs almost nothing.
The payment path works on any handset
Mobile money is confirmed on the parent’s own phone with the prompt their carrier already sends. No smartphone and no app are required to pay.

What it costs
Priced per school, quoted in FCFA
What a school pays depends on how many pupils are on the roll and which modules it turns on. Tell us the shape of the school and we will put a figure to it.
No figure is published here because none is set: a quote is made against the roll and the modules, and it is the only price we will name.
Talk to a person
Tell us about the school, we will show you the rest
Leave the school’s name and how to reach you. A person reads it (there is no autoresponder here) and comes back with a walkthrough on your own figures.
