What administrators say

"

Before SchoolSphere, our bursar spent three days every term manually calculating fee balances across 900 students. Now she runs the invoice batch in 30 seconds and goes home on time. The savings in staff hours alone paid for the system in the first term.

UNEB registration used to be a nightmare — collecting paper forms, checking names against the admission register, counting candidates by hand. With SchoolSphere we created our UCE batch from existing S4 records in 20 minutes. No errors. No missing candidates.

Parents used to call every week asking about fee balances. Now they log into the parent portal and check themselves. Call volume to the bursar's office dropped by about 80%. The parents who live upcountry especially love it — they don't have to travel to the school just to know if their child's fees are cleared.

The Challenge

Managing 1,400 students across S1–S6, a 90-person staff, boarding houses, transport routes, and UNEB registration — all through a combination of Excel files, a legacy system, and paper records. Fee reconciliation alone took the bursar's department 5 days every term opening.

The Result
Term invoices generated in under 2 minutes
Payroll processed same day every month
UNEB registration completed in one afternoon
Parent calls down by 75% after portal launch
All staff trained in 3 hours
Live within 6 days of demo
"

We went live on a Monday. By Wednesday, the bursar had run her first full term invoice batch — 1,400 invoices in about 90 seconds. She called me into the office to show me the screen. That was the moment we knew we'd made the right decision.
