The Company & The Product
One unified School Management System engineered by Solforbs
Most schools in Kenya don't lack dedication—they lack connected software. Attendance lives in paper exercise books, fee balances live in disparate spreadsheets on someone's laptop, exam marks require endless manual typing, and communication relies on manual SMS blasts.
Solforbs engineered Solforbs SMS (School Management System) to solve this: bringing digital admissions, biometric turnstiles, Daraja M-Pesa fee collection, CBC grading, and parent portals behind a single, ultra-secure cloud login.
Live Gate Biometrics
Instant SMS alerts sent to parents when learners tap turnstiles.
Lipa na M-Pesa Auto-Match
Direct Paybill integration that matches student accounts automatically.
Parent Chatbot Portal
Parents check results, balances, and attendance 24/7 without calling.
Instant CBC Report Cards

Unified Stakeholder Portals
Directors, teachers, accountants, and parents each get tailored, role-specific interfaces with exact permissions and zero noise.
Native Kenyan Integrations
Direct integration with Safaricom Daraja M-Pesa Paybill, ZKTeco biometric gate controllers, and custom alphanumeric SMS sender IDs.
