From small day schools in upcountry districts to large boarding schools in Uganda — here is what head teachers, bursars, and administrators say after moving their schools to Kazi Kings.
Before Kazi Kings, our bursar spent three days every term manually calculating fee balances across 900 students. Now she runs the invoice batch in 30 seconds and goes home on time. The savings in staff hours alone paid for the system in the first term.
UNEB registration used to be a nightmare — collecting paper forms, checking names against the admission register, counting candidates by hand. With Kazi Kings we created our UCE batch from existing S4 records in 20 minutes. No errors. No missing candidates.
Parents used to call every week asking about fee balances. Now they log into the parent portal and check themselves. Call volume to the bursar's office dropped by about 80%. The parents who live upcountry especially love it — they don't have to travel to the school just to know if their child's fees are cleared.

"The payroll module saves us hours every month. PAYE and NSSF are calculated automatically — I just review and print the payslips."
"We migrated 3 years of student records from spreadsheets. The Kazi Kings team handled everything — it took less than two days and nothing was lost."
"The hostel module is exactly what a boarding school needs. We allocate 240 girls to dorms each term in minutes, not days."
"The timetable feature is clean and simple. I set up our entire S4 timetable in under an hour. Students check it on their portal."
"Book borrowing used to be paper cards and guesswork. Now I know exactly who has which book and when it's overdue."
"Generating report cards for 800 students took us a week. Now it's one click per class. Parents get results the same evening exams are marked."
"The clinic module tracks everything — visits, diagnoses, medication stock. When we're low on a drug, the dashboard flags it. No more stockouts."
"UNEB registration that used to take two days of form-filling now takes one afternoon. Subject entries, centre numbers — all in the system."
"Parents can now pay via mobile money and the payment reflects instantly. No more queues at the bursar's office on opening day."
Managing 1,400 students across S1–S6, a 90-person staff, boarding houses, transport routes, and UNEB registration — all through a combination of Excel files, a legacy system, and paper records. Fee reconciliation alone took the bursar's department 5 days every term opening.
We went live on a Monday. By Wednesday, the bursar had run her first full term invoice batch — 1,400 invoices in about 90 seconds. She called me into the office to show me the screen. That was the moment we knew we'd made the right decision.
