Every pickup verified. Every visitor logged.
For primary and secondary schools: parents and guardians linked to their children, authorised pickup passes the gate verifies, staff shift checks and school fees — one platform for your whole school.
What goes wrong without it.
Anyone can claim to be a parent
Guards have no reliable way to know who is allowed to collect a child at closing time.
Paper visitor books
Handwritten logs are hard to read, easy to fake and impossible to search after an incident.
Staff attendance guesswork
No quick way at the gate to confirm a teacher or staff member is on shift today.
Chasing school fees
Bank tellers, transfer screenshots and spreadsheets to reconcile every term.
Built around the school day.
Parents & guardians linked
Each student’s family is linked to their account. Parents get their own logins with only the access you allow.
Authorised pickup passes
Parents create a pickup pass in seconds. The gate verifies the code and sees the student’s name and class before release.
Visitor log & school map
Every visitor logged at the gate — who, when, who they came to see and when they left — with Google Maps directions to the right block.
Staff shift check
Set staff shift hours; guards search a name or staff ID and see instantly whether they are on shift.
Deliveries & vehicle log
Plate, driver, company, goods and time in and out for every delivery and vehicle on campus.
Contractor safety induction
Contractors and suppliers must accept your safety rules at the gate before they are checked in.
Announcements
Send notices to every parent, student and staff member with push notifications and read receipts.
Emergency alerts
One tap raises an alert that sounds on every guard’s phone and reaches the administrator instantly.
School fees collection
Fee schedules, reminders and Paystack checkout, with an invoice and receipt for every payment.
How the three apps work for schools.
The apps speak your language — students & staff and classes, not residents and units.

Parents create pickup passes and pay fees; the gate verifies every exit.
A parent or guardian opens the app and creates a pickup pass for whoever is collecting their child. The pass carries the student’s name and class. At the gate, the guard enters the code in the Guard app and sees the student and class before releasing the child — no code, no release.
Yes. Parents and guardians are linked to the student’s account, each with their own login and only the permissions you or the head of the family give them — for example pickup passes but not payments.
Yes. Set up fee schedules for the term, and parents pay by card or bank transfer through Paystack. Every payment gets an invoice and receipt, and funds settle into your school’s bank account.
You record each staff member’s shift hours and days. At the gate, the guard searches by name, phone or staff ID and sees whether that person is on shift right now.
This page is for primary and secondary schools. Universities, polytechnics and colleges have their own setup with hostels and halls, hostel visiting hours, matric-number ID checks and a campus map — see AreaConnector for universities.
