Overview / 01

Smart education, for every school

Schools sign up online, pick a plan and run enrolment, attendance, timetables, exams, report cards and fee payments, while parents follow their children's schooling from a distance.

We built the multi-school SaaS website with features, popular schools, pricing, a school sign-up form and app downloads, in French and English, on a platform adapted to the Guinean school system.
