01

The problem

What the business was dealing with before we started.

  • Three offices each kept their own records, so the same student could appear differently in each one and nobody could say which version was right.

  • Fee collection was tracked by hand. Chasing an unpaid term meant cross-checking a spreadsheet against a receipt book.

  • Parents phoned the office for things the office had to look up — attendance, marks, what was owed.

  • Every report for the school owners was assembled manually, so it was out of date by the time it was read.

02

What we built

The system we designed and delivered.

  • One shared set of records for students, staff, attendance, marks and fees, so there is a single version of each.

  • A different view for each role: office staff see administration, teachers see their own classes, parents see only their own child, owners see across all three schools.

  • Fees tracked from invoice through to receipt, with the outstanding position visible without anyone assembling it.

  • Reports the office can run themselves, rather than requesting them from us.

03

What changed

How the work landed in day-to-day operation.

  • The three offices work from the same records instead of reconciling three sets.

  • Parents can check attendance, results and fees themselves, which takes routine calls away from the office.

  • School owners can see the current position across all three schools without waiting for someone to compile it.

  • Adding a fourth school is a configuration change rather than a fourth spreadsheet system.
