Manual admissions
Six clipboards, three Excel files, and a queue around the building. We replace it with a parent-facing portal that admits, ranks and tracks in one flow.
Industries · Education & Training
Digital systems for schools, universities and training providers.
From a single primary school to a national tertiary institution, Synvas builds the admissions, fees, attendance, parent communication and learning platforms that schools across Africa actually run on.
Problems we solve here
The five patterns we see again and again.
Scattered student records
Marks here, attendance there, fees somewhere else. We unify into a single student record visible to parents, teachers and admin.
Weak parent engagement
Parents only hear from the school when there is a problem. WhatsApp + email + portal updates change the relationship.
Fee collection drag
Late payments are a cash-flow killer. Online + EcoCash + standing-order fees cut DSO by months.
Reporting nightmares
No exec dashboard means the principal flies blind. We surface enrolment, fees, attendance and pass rates on one screen.
