One app, four ways in

Everyone at school sees exactly what they need.

The same school, from four sides. Each person signs in with their phone number and gets the screens their role allows, no more.

For principals & office

The whole school on one screen.

Open the app and see today at a glance: who is in, what came in, and what is waiting for your yes.

  • ✓Attendance, fee collection and overdue dues the moment you open the app
  • ✓Approve staff leave, gate passes and payment proofs from anywhere
  • ✓Spot the class whose register is still open, or the section running low

  • ✓Board or absent marks at every stop, with children on leave flagged
  • ✓Families are notified automatically, with no calls to answer

Features in focus

Replace five apps and a register book.

Every module shares one student record, so nothing is typed twice. Here are nine to start with.

Attendance in seconds

Teachers mark a class in one tap, even offline. Parents are told the same morning.

Fees without the queue

Online payments, instalments, late fees and discounts you configure, with receipts sent automatically.

Live school bus

Every bus on a map, ETAs for each stop, and boarding marks from the attendant.

Exams & report cards

Schedules, marks entry, grading scales and report cards, published to parents when you say so.

Notices that land

Announcements, polls and meeting RSVPs by app, SMS or WhatsApp, with per-school quotas.

Admissions to enrolment

Enquiries, interviews, documents and fees in one pipeline, then one click to enrol.

Timetable & substitutions

Build the week once. Cover absent teachers in minutes and notify the class.

Staff, leave & payroll-ready

Leave balances, approvals, staff attendance and documents for every employee.

One school or a chain

Run many branches from one account, with each school's data kept strictly separate.

Live bus tracking

No more “where is the bus?” calls.

The driver taps Start. Parents watch the bus come down the road and get a heads-up when it is five minutes from their stop. The attendant marks every child on board, and the office sees every bus on one live map.

Getting started

Live in days, not a new term.

01

Set up your school

Classes, sections, subjects, fee structure and the people who run them.

Day 1
02

Import your students

Upload your Excel sheet. Duplicates and missing details are flagged before anything is saved.

Day 2
03

Invite parents and staff

Everyone activates with their own phone number. No passwords to hand out.

Day 3
Safe by design

Children's data, treated that way.

Each school sealed off

Separation is enforced by the application and again by the database itself.

Role-based access

You decide what each role can see and do, down to single actions.

A full audit trail

Every sensitive action records who did it and when. Nothing is deleted.

Location only on trips

A driver's phone shares location during a trip and stops the moment it ends.

Questions

What schools ask us first.

Who uses Smart School Connect?

Everyone at school: principals and office staff on the web and the admin app, teachers, parents and the bus crew on their phones. Each person sees only what their role allows.

Can we bring our existing student data?

Yes. Import students from an Excel sheet, then invite parents; they activate their own accounts with their phone number.

Do parents need to download an app?

The parent app runs on Android and iPhone. Parents who haven't installed it can still get SMS and WhatsApp messages.

How does live bus tracking work?

The driver starts the trip in the crew app and the phone shares its location every few seconds, even with the screen locked, until the trip ends. It never tracks the driver outside a trip.

Can parents pay fees online?

Yes. Parents pay from the app, receipts are issued automatically, and offline payments can be uploaded as proof for the office to verify.

We have more than one branch. Does that work?

Yes. Branches can be grouped into a chain for reporting, while each school's records, staff and parents stay separate.

Book a demo

See it with your own school's classes.

A 30-minute walkthrough of the principal, teacher, parent and bus apps, set up with your classes so you can picture it on day one.

  • ✓ No commitment
  • ✓ Help moving your existing data
  • ✓ Training for staff and parents

We only use these details to arrange your demo, and send you a copy by email.
