Abstract

What is ISO SAS?

The ISO School Administration System (ISO SAS) is a comprehensive, locally-installed software solution designed to digitise and streamline the daily operations of schools at every level — nursery, primary, and secondary. Built from the ground up by Code Dreamers, the system covers student records, fee billing, payroll, academic results, inventory, library management, and parent communication in a single unified platform.

Its defining strength is customizability: no two schools are identical, and ISO SAS has been adapted to fit the real-world diversity of institutions across Tanzania, Malawi, and Kenya since 2015. It runs entirely on the school's own premises — no internet connection required — and comes with one full year of free support and hands-on training to ensure a smooth and confident transition.

Why ISO SAS

Built to solve real school problems

Structured, secure record-keeping

Students, income, expenses, accounts, academics, payroll and inventory — stored securely for fast and reliable access by authorised staff.

No dependency on any single person

An interface so straightforward that no computer skills are needed. Critical school records no longer live on one person's laptop or in their head.

Automate the repetitive work

Reports, timetables, result sheets, payroll, debt letters — automatically generated so your staff can focus on education, not paperwork.

Keep parents in the loop

SMS broadcasts to parents, individual exam results by SMS, and a web portal for parents to check fees and academic progress.
