Switch to Intellimis Without
Disrupting the Term
Your current system may be working. But if fees are still unclear, parents still call for balances, CBC reports still drain teachers and directors still wait for manual updates, your school does not have full control.
Intellimis helps private schools move safely from scattered records to one clear system for fees, parents, CBC reports, attendance and school operations.
No pressure. We first review your current setup, then advise whether Lite or Pro is the right fit.

Good Enough is Becoming Expensive
Many private schools do not switch because the current setup is still running. The bursar can still receipt. Teachers can still prepare reports. Parents still receive WhatsApp messages. The director still gets updates eventually.
But “working” is not the same as protecting your school.
- If fee balances are unclear, parents delay or dispute payments.
- If receipts and M-Pesa records are reconciled manually, the bursar loses time every week.
- If CBC reports are prepared in scattered files, teachers carry unnecessary pressure.
- If parents must call the office for updates, trust weakens.
- If directors wait for manual reports, decisions come late.
- If one staff member holds too much system knowledge, the school is exposed.
The cost of staying the same is not always visible on the invoice. It shows up as arrears, complaints, wasted time and lost trust.
Private Schools Are Not Short of Effort.
They Are Short of One Clear School Truth.
Most schools are working hard. The problem is that school information lives in many places:
- Fees in Excel or accounting software
- Receipts in books or payment messages
- Parent updates in whatsapp groups
- CBC records in teacher files
- Attendance in registers
- Transport records in separate lists
- Reports prepared manually for directors
When the truth is scattered, the school cannot move with confidence.
Waiting Feels Safe Until the Gaps Keep Growing
Every term without a better system can create avoidable losses. The school may survive, but it loses control in small ways that add up.
Hidden Cost
How It Shows Up
Fee leakage
Late fees, disputed balances, slow reminders, manual reconciliation and untracked arrears.
Parent trust loss
Parents call more, complain more and compare your school with more digitally organized competitors.
Teacher workload
CBC reporting becomes stressful when assessments, attendance and reports are scattered.
Director blind spots
Owners and directors make decisions from delayed or incomplete reports.
Staff dependency
The school becomes too dependent on one bursar, admin or teacher who knows where records are.
See the Safest Way to Move to Intellimis Before You Decide
The Free Switching Assessment is designed for schools that know they need better control but are worried about disruption.
We do not ask you to change everything overnight. We first review your current setup, identify the biggest risks, and recommend the safest starting point.
- Current system review: manual records, Excel, accounting software or existing school system.
- Fee and arrears visibility review.
- Parent communication review.
- CBC reporting and attendance review.
- Data migration readiness check.
- Staff training and adoption needs.
- Lite or Pro recommendation.
- First-term rollout plan.
This is for Schools That Know Something Must Improve
Request the assessment if your school is
- Using manual records or Excel but wants better control
- Using accounting software that does not handle the full school experience
- Using another school system but still struggling with fees, parents, CBC reports or adoption
- Starting a new junior or senior school and wants to avoid chaos from day one
- Running a growing private CBC school with rising parent expectations
- Managing more than one campus and needs director-level visibility
If your current setup still leaves gaps, Intellimis will help you see whether switching is worth it and how to do it safely.

Most ERPs Stay in the Office. Intellimis is Felt by Parents.
Parents do not judge your system by what the bursar sees. They judge it by how clearly the school communicates with them.
With the Intellimis Parent App,
parents can access enabled updates such as:
