School management system for all 47 counties

Enaton is one platform for fees, academics, transport, parents and staff, from as low as KES 4,060 a month. What changes from one county to the next is not the software, it is the job. Each of the 47 pages below says what is genuinely different about running a school in that place, and which part of the platform carries the weight there.

School management system in Homa Bay Lake income is daily and volatile, so a family can be behind one week and clear the next.

Nakuru city · Naivasha · Gilgil · Molo Read the Nakuru page School management system in Nandi A large share of parents are on a monthly estate payslip, so fees can be matched to a pay date that never moves. Kapsabet · Nandi Hills · Mosoriot · Kabiyet Read the Nandi page School management system in Narok Commercial wheat farmers and pastoralist households in one classroom, on entirely different terms.

Busia town · Malaba · Nambale · Funyula Read the Busia page School management system in Kakamega Large day school rolls, with fees arriving in thousands of small instalments rather than one payment a term. Kakamega town · Mumias · Malava · Butere Read the Kakamega page School management system in Vihiga One of the densest catchments in Kenya, which turns exams and reporting into the real administrative load.

The same everywhere

What does not change from county to county

Every one of the 47 pages above describes something genuinely local, because the job of running a school really is different in Kericho and in Lamu. What does not change is the platform, the price or the setup you get.

Wherever your school is, this is the same conversation

Bring a fee structure and a class list. Thirty minutes, no slides, and you will see your own numbers rather than a demo school.
