For schools & education

The operations engine behind a well-run school

Fees that reconcile themselves, stores that measure the kitchen, procurement on the term calendar, assets with custodians, and payroll with statutory handled — one system for the bursar's whole world.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.

The evening matching game

M-Pesa, three banks, cash at the office — and a bursar matching payment narrations to student names after dark.

The store that leaks by the cup

Consumables bought by the lorry, issued by memory — and 10–20% of the spend evaporating between the two.

Week-one buying emergencies

Term dates known for years, yet every term starts with urgent purchases at whatever price was quoted on the phone.

Equipment bought in triplicate

Labs, dorms, and sports stores replacing items nobody can find — an invisible annual tax.

How teams get started

1

Start with the store

One term of receipts, issues, and counts — the variance report pays for the project by itself.

2

Connect the fees

Student invoices and payment references live; the exceptions queue replaces the evening ritual.

3

Govern the term cycle

Procurement plans, asset verification rhythms, and payroll — the full bursar's calendar, systematized.

Frequently asked questions

Does AWRA replace our academic/exams system?

No — it governs the operations side: money, materials, assets, and payroll. Academic systems handle admissions, exams, and timetables; the two coexist, and many schools run both. If your academic system already invoices fees well, start AWRA at stores and procurement.

Can parents pay to a paybill and have it match the right student?

Yes — the admission number as payment reference matches automatically; unreferenced payments land in an exceptions queue with phone-number matching suggestions, so the bursar reviews a short list instead of a statement.

Is this only for boarding schools?

Boarding schools feel the store pain most, but day schools with significant assets, multi-channel fee collection, and staff payroll recover the cost quickly too. Start with the module that hurts most — fees for day schools, stores for boarding.

What does implementation look like around the term calendar?

Go-live is timed to a term boundary: stores open with a count, fees open with verified balances per student at term start. One term of parallel discipline and the routines are set — mid-term big-bang migrations are what we avoid.
