GESCO+

GESCO+ is a web-based school management platform for schools and private universities in Madagascar that centralizes administration, academic tracking, and parent-school communication.

Key capabilities include:

• Administrative management: student enrollment, student records, user roles and permissions, and digital document archiving.
• Academic and pedagogical tracking: timetables with conflict management, exam and evaluation tracking, grade entry, automatic averages, and instant report card generation.
• Financial management: tuition and fee tracking, invoicing, receipts, collections, and expense tracking with finance dashboards.
• Parent portal and communication: secure messaging with attachments, document sharing, a school calendar with events, canteen menus and meal reservations, plus visibility into upcoming evaluations.

Available on Web; the interface is designed to remain usable on mobile devices and in low-bandwidth conditions.

It targets a B2B2C setup: school and university administrators purchase and configure the platform, while teachers, parents, and students use it for daily academic follow-up, payments, and communication.

Notable for the Madagascar market, it positions itself as built for local school realities, offers transparent pricing by institution type (public school 29,000 Ar/month, private school 99,000 Ar/month, private university 199,000 Ar/month, plus a one-time activation fee equal to one month and a 3-month trial with the 4th month free), and states its data is hosted on Contabo infrastructure in a German datacenter, with AES-256 encryption for documents at rest.
