17 apps, one set of records.

Hall12 is made of apps, each named in Swahili for what it does. They share one database, so a payment, a mark or a new learner shows up everywhere it matters. Each member of staff sees only the apps their role needs.

The learners roll in Hall12, with admission numbers, names, levels, class sections and status, and filters for level, status and transport.

Money

Fees, payments and the store, kept in accounting books.

KarofeesSchools and colleges

Bursars, school administrators, head teachers

Invoices, payments, balances and statements, kept in real accounting books.

  • One payment from a parent spread across several children, oldest debt first or by hand.
  • Sibling, staff-child, bursary and scholarship concessions, approved by the administrator.
  • Sponsors such as HELB, churches and employers billed for their share, each with its own statement.
