SchoolMaster Zambia

SchoolMaster Zambia is a cloud-based school management system for Zambian schools that centralizes finance, academics, staff administration, and parent communication in a browser-based platform.

Key capabilities include:

• Fee collection and invoicing with built-in MTN Mobile Money payments (the site also mentions Airtel Money and Ting), automatic invoicing per student, receipts, and SMS/email fee reminders, plus configurable fee compliance gating that can block report cards until 80% of fees are paid
• Exams, results, and analytics covering exam scheduling, mark entry, PDF report cards, automatic merit lists, class and subject performance analytics, and results delivery to parents via SMS and email
• Payroll for Zambia with statutory calculations for PAYE, NAPSA, and NHI, plus payslip generation and emailing to staff
• Operations and engagement modules such as attendance tracking with parent alerts, lesson planning, assignments, live classes, online exams with a proctoring dashboard, plus add-ons like library, hostel, transport, inventory, built-in school website, multi-school management, and an activity audit log, with notifications sent through 13+ SMS and email gateway options

Available on Web (mobile-first design).

Target users include school owners/directors, headteachers/principals, accountants/bursars, teachers, parents/guardians, and students, with role-based dashboards and workflows.

It is notable for focusing on Zambia-specific needs, particularly mobile money fee payments and Zambian statutory payroll, and for supporting both single schools and school networks from one dashboard. The product is run by Optimyze Technologies Limited, based in Lusaka, Zambia.
