The bursar's job changes when fee reminders pull payments in via M-Pesa, report cards arrive on parents' phones, and PTA RSVPs reply themselves. Sozuri runs the parent-facing layer of your school admin.
The bursar at Shule Plus used to print 1,200 fee notices a term and chase by phone. The class teachers handed out reports in envelopes that often didn't reach home. Sozuri replaced both with branded SMS that every parent already checks.
The bursar exports the fee balance per admission number, drops it into Sozuri, and clicks send. Each parent gets a personalised SMS with their child's name, balance and the school's Lipa Na M-Pesa shortcode. STK push optional — for parents who want to pay right there.
Class teachers finalise the marks in the school's MIS, and Sozuri batch-sends a secure link to each parent. A line at the end invites RSVP for the term-end PTA — parents reply CONFIRM and the secretary's spreadsheet updates itself.
Short between-term campaigns — KCSE prep clinics, holiday coaching, uniform sale, school-bus seat reservation. Sender ID stays the same so parents recognise it instantly; opt-out is one keyword away.
Compared to the 3-week chase cycle most schools start the term with.
Branded SMS reminder + RSVP loop the day before the meeting. Parents who never came before, come.
Goodbye to a thousand sheets of A5. The same notices arrive on the parent's phone instead.
“The Friday we sent the first SMS round, 60% of the term's fees were in the account by Sunday. We hadn't even started phone follow-ups yet.”
Less chasing, more teaching. Sozuri runs the messages, the payments and the RSVPs so your team can focus on the children.
