A school management system (SMS) is software that automates and centralizes school operations. It typically covers student enrollment and records, fee collection and receipting, attendance tracking, exam results and report cards, timetable management, and parent communication portals.
For Kenyan schools specifically, look for: M-Pesa fee payment integration, SMS/WhatsApp notifications to parents, CBC and 8-4-4 grading support, multi-campus management, and offline capability for schools with unreliable internet. A good system should also generate NEMIS-compatible reports.
Cloud-based school systems are accessible from any device and don't require expensive servers. They're ideal for most Kenyan schools. Installed systems work offline but need dedicated hardware and IT support. TechGs builds both, depending on your school's infrastructure.
Prices range from free open-source options (with limited features and no local support) to custom-built systems costing KES 50,000 to KES 500,000+. The right investment depends on your school size and required features. TechGs offers scalable pricing for primary schools, secondary schools, and colleges.
