Why We Built School Companion
The Problem We Saw
Kenyan schools have long struggled with fragmented administrative systems — paper registers, disconnected spreadsheets, manual fee tracking, and time-consuming payroll processes. School administrators were spending more time on paperwork than on what truly matters: education. We saw this problem and decided to solve it once and for all.
The Solution We Built
School Companion ERP is a fully integrated, cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning system built specifically for Kenya's education sector. Every feature — from the CBE-aligned academics module to the M-Pesa-ready fee management system — was designed with the realities of Kenyan schools in mind. One login. One system. Everything you need.
Built for Kenya, Scalable for Africa
We started with Kenya because we know it best. Our system supports all 47 counties, all sub-counties and wards, the CBE curriculum structure, local payment methods, and the regulatory requirements of Kenyan schools. As we grow, our architecture is designed to expand across East Africa and beyond.
The Find a Teacher Innovation
Our most celebrated feature is the Find a Teacher module — a first-of-its-kind teacher recruitment marketplace built right into the ERP. Schools post vacancies in seconds. Teachers across Kenya browse and apply through our public jobs board. This creates a living, breathing teacher employment ecosystem that benefits everyone in education.
