Transparent annual agreements, 48-hour zero-loss migration, and a unified operating system that powers your academy without third-party duct tape.
We do not lock you into 3-year or 5-year hostage contracts. If you stay with Encore SMS, it is because the platform earns its place every term. You remain in total control.
One named consultant leads your implementation from day one through graduation. No anonymous call center: our team understands syllabi, term dates, and cashier bottlenecks.
Fifty modules natively running on one PostgreSQL database. Admissions, dual-stream gradebooks, Paystack Mobile Money, and gate security are all included out of the box.
Zero-Data-Loss Migration
Our data engineering team handles the heavy lifting. All your student records, family links, and historical fee ledgers migrate in 48 hours with 100% fidelity.
Your dedicated consultant examines your historical records (Excel, Access, or legacy MIS), your grading scales, and fee schedule structures.
Our data engineers clean and normalize: eliminating duplicate entries, resolving sibling lineages, and validating phone formatting for instant SMS/WhatsApp alerts.
We provision a private staging instance populated with your actual school data. Leadership tests report cards, grade calculations, and billing ledgers.
Targeted hands-on coaching: teachers master 30-second roll-call and continuous SBA; finance masters Paystack MoMo; security masters QR passes.
Live cutover is synchronised with your academic term calendar, guaranteeing zero disruption to classes or fee collections.
Your named consultant stays on call during your first assessment cycle and report card generation to ensure absolute operational peace.
