Admin staff are faced daily with both admission, administrative and finance tasks.
Empower your school with a one stop system. The 043-Form report is automated, simplifying all the finance related tasks.
Easy access to fees' balances, accounts & reporting in ONE PLACE.

"I really love this package and hope that we will be using it soon. It will really make things easier in the workplace.
If I had this system to work on, it would be so easy to check on everything".
