Overview

The project in brief

Placeholder Academy needed a reliable system to replace manual work that was slowing the business down. Nexbyte ran discovery, built the solution and supported the team through go-live.

An admission portal with digital payments and Voice Message reminders for guardians.

Challenge

What was not working

Long admission queues and paper fee receipts.

The team spent hours every week on work a system should do, and managers had no reliable numbers to plan with.

Solution

What we built

An admission portal with digital payments and Voice Message reminders for guardians.

Rolled out in stages so daily operations never stopped, with training for every user group.
