Cameroon

GO4SCHOOL, school management software built for Cameroon

GO4SCHOOL brings a school's teaching, finance, human resources, logistics and communication together on one platform. It is published by FNT TECH SARL, in Douala, and built around the reality of Cameroonian schools: two sub-systems, two languages, Mobile Money and cash, OHADA accounting.

Two sub-systems, two languages

GO4SCHOOL works in English and French, for both the anglophone and francophone sub-systems. Each class follows its own assessment calendar: terms in the anglophone system, sequences in the francophone system, monthly periods in primary, learning units in nursery, even within the same bilingual school. Official exams are covered: First School Leaving Certificate, GCE O-Level and A-Level, CEP, BEPC, Probatoire and BAC. National MINESEC registration numbers are fetched from cartescolaire.cm.

Mobile Money, cash and OHADA accounting

Parents pay school fees by MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money from their phone, with one invoice for all their children and a PDF receipt. Families who pay cash go to the school's cash desk, where the cashier hands over a numbered receipt and remits the takings at the end of the day. Each payment produces its entry in accounts kept on the OHADA chart, through to the Statistical and Tax Return. Payroll applies the Cameroon scale (IRPP, CNPS, CFC and more) and prepares the CNPS return and the DIPE.

From nursery to sixth form, and for school groups

GO4SCHOOL serves nursery, primary and secondary schools, and school groups that bring several schools together. In a group, one account is enough to move from one school to another; payroll, human resources, the canteen, health, transport and stock can be run at group level. Parents, teachers and pupils have their spaces on the web and in the iOS and Android apps, and roll call, clock-in and bus boarding work offline.

A team in Douala and Yaoundé

FNT TECH SARL has offices in Douala (Bonapriso, Carrefour Hydrocarbure, BP 1120) and Yaoundé (Chapelle TKC, BP 8628), open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, Saturday by appointment. The first call takes about twenty minutes, followed by a demonstration on your own use cases and a costed quote. Standard set-up takes 24 to 48 hours, and training for your staff is included.
