Every child. Every school. One app.
Notices, fees and permission slips in one place. Sending is free, and you see the cost to the rand before anyone presses send.
You see the cost before you press send.
Most platforms bill for every message. EduSync tries four free channels in order, and spends money on SMS only when a notice is marked critical.
Change the audience, then flip “Mark as critical” to see what an emergency costs.
A term-time month, 1 100-learner school
Illustrative figures for a school of about 1 250 parents. SMS is costed at about R0.35 a message, an estimate until our gateway rate is signed.
Civvies day notice · sample school
Everyone is reached on a free channel. Nobody gets the same notice twice.
SMS is costed at about R0.35 a message, an estimate until our gateway rate is signed.
Variable cost of a routine notice, at any volume. The flat fee is the whole bill.
Pilot pass mark: one grade’s parents reached on free channels within four weeks.
Target from your SA-SAMS export to a live school, with a short conflicts list for a clerk.
Targets for the pilot, not measured results. No school has been measured yet.
Ten past three at the gate.
A fixture has moved, a camp balance is due on Friday and a form needs a signature. Today that arrives as a six-page PDF, a class WhatsApp group or a note in a schoolbag, and the parent who needed it was in a taxi.
The school can see none of it. Nobody knows who read the notice, who paid, or who is still waiting at the gate.
A parent with two schools sees one feed.
Sign in with the mobile number the school already has on file and every linked child appears, including a sibling at a different school. You don’t need to collect anything from the front office, and there is no second account.
A filter chip per child switches the feed. A child at another school is simply there. How it works for parents
Plain text, so there is no PDF to pinch.
A notice is written once as text. That is what lets a parent read it on a prepaid phone, translate it in one tap and sign the permission slip underneath it.
- Translate in one tap to isiZulu or Afrikaans, with the English original always one tap away.
- Lock-screen safe. A push carries a title and a nudge. The detail sits behind sign-in.
- Built for the phone most parents carry. A mid-range Android on a prepaid balance, often on 3G. It installs from the browser and keeps what you have already read.
One payment for every child and both schools.
A camp balance, two civvies days and a tour kit across two schools settle in one instant EFT. It is cheaper for the parent than card and lands in each school’s account the same day, split afterwards on our side.
Athletics is rained out at 13:44. Published at 13:45.
The console is a phone-first tool because that is where teachers are. If publishing a change needs a desktop, the coach will use the class WhatsApp group instead.
Pick who, see the cost
Choose a grade, a team or the whole school. The estimate is on the screen before the send button is.
Rain-outs from the track
A coach marks the fixture changed on a phone. The calendar entry moves and the right parents are told.
Fewer calls to the hatch
Delivered, opened and acted on, per message. The short list of families nobody could reach is the only list to chase.
Built so a school can say yes without a long meeting.
One flat fee for the whole school, however many learners it has. No set-up fee, no per-message metering and no advertising shown to your parents. Less than half what the incumbent platform charges a school this size.
Children’s information is a special category, so we handle it carefully.
Photos, the email fall-through, emergency SMS, partner marketing and class-group sharing are five separate consents. The first three are on by default because the service needs them. Partner marketing and class-group sharing are off by default. Guardian links carry a permission level from day one, because dual custody and court-ordered limits arrive in the first month.
A 90-day pilot for one grade, at no charge.
Start with one grade instead of the whole school. If free channels do not reach 90% of that grade's parents within four weeks, the pilot has failed and it costs you nothing.
