Why proprietors switch

The three questions every school owner asks

YOU ASKED

Will it help me collect school fees faster?

Yes: fees come in faster.
  • Parents pay by Mobile Money or card from the parent app and get a receipt straight away.
  • See who owes at a glance, then remind every overdue parent by SMS in one click.
  • Agree instalment plans with parents and track every payment.
YOU ASKED

Will it reduce the workload on my staff?

Yes: less paperwork for everyone.
  • Timetables, exam seating, duty rosters and bus routes are built automatically.
  • Report cards come straight from approved marks; payslips with SSNIT and PAYE in one run.
  • Online admissions and app-based attendance replace paper and phone calls.
YOU ASKED

Can I monitor my school without being there?

Yes: your school in your pocket.
  • Your dashboard shows fees collected, balances owed, pupils and staff, on your phone.
  • Every drop-off and pick-up is scanned at the gate, with alerts when something doesn't match.
  • Expenses and salaries need approval before they are paid.
Everything in one system

Everything your school runs on

One login per person. Everyone sees only what their role needs: proprietor, head, bursar, teacher, gate officer, parent or pupil.

Admissions

Online applications, interviews and admission letters in one click. Add your own school website as a package.

Teaching & exams

Timetables, registers, assignments, marks approval, exam seating plans and report cards.

Fees & accounts

Invoices, Mobile Money and card payments, receipts, arrears, scholarships, budgets and full accounts.

Staff & payroll

Staff records, leave, duty rosters, salary approval, SSNIT and PAYE, and payslips staff can open themselves.

Safe pick-up

Every pupil gets a QR card. Gate staff scan it on a phone, check the collector's photo and ID, and parents get an SMS.

Parent app & SMS

Parents install the app from your website: fees, results, attendance, absence reports and notifications.

Parents and safety

Parents stay informed. Children go home with the right person.

  • Parents see fees, results and attendance, and pay online, from an app they install from your website.
  • They report when a child will miss school, with the reason, and the class teacher sees it in the register.
  • At the gate, staff scan the pupil's QR card and see who is allowed to collect them, with photos.
  • Parents get an SMS at drop-off and pick-up, and you are alerted when something doesn't match.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to buy a server or install anything?

No. OptiSkul runs online. Your staff open it in a web browser on any computer, tablet or phone, and parents install the app straight from your school's page.

Is our school's data kept separate from other schools?

Yes. Every school has its own separate database and its own files. Staff and parents of one school can never see another school's information.

Where does the parents' fee money go?

Straight into your school's own Paystack account. OptiSkul never holds your fees.

What happens when the free trial ends?

Choose a plan and pay for a term or a year by Mobile Money or card. Everything you entered during the trial stays.

Do we get our own school website?

Yes, as an add-on package. Add the School website package to any plan for your own public website: home page slideshow, news, events, gallery, online admissions and the parent app download.

Can you help us move from paper or Excel?

Yes. Send us your class lists, staff list and fee structure and we'll help you load them during setup.
