Stop stitching together spreadsheets, bank statements and chat groups. Obara connects operations, families, payments and learning so the whole school works off one source of truth.

🏫

Operations on autopilot

Student records, attendance, timetables, CBT exams, automatic result computation and WAEC-style report cards — one system instead of a dozen registers. Less paperwork, fewer mistakes, hours back every week.

Fees that collect themselves

Every student gets a wallet and a clear invoice. Parents pay online via LodumPayment, and payments reconcile to the right student and the right fee item automatically — no more chasing receipts or matching bank statements.

Families & communication

Your school, in the chat parents already use

Most parents won't download another app — but they all use WhatsApp. Obara meets them there with an AI assistant that answers real questions, scoped so each parent only ever sees their own child.

💬

Answers in plain language

"Is my son's fees paid?" "How did Amara do this term?" — parents ask, and get an instant, accurate answer. No logins, no office queue.

🔔

Alerts that matter

Fee reminders, results published, attendance and clock-in/out — pushed over WhatsApp, SMS or email, governed by each school's preferences.

💳

Pay fees right in chat

Parents can settle school fees from the conversation, with the payment reconciled to the right student automatically.

🔒

Strictly scoped

Parents see only their own ward. Teachers see only their class. Admins get school-wide visibility. Enforced on every request.

Collect fees reliably — and stop chasing them

Late and untraceable fees are the hardest part of running a school. Obara gives every student a wallet, lets parents pay online via LodumPayment, and reconciles each payment to the right student and fee item automatically.

👛 A wallet per student

Each student has a dedicated balance, so payments land against the right child every time — no misallocations, no manual matching.

💳 Pay online, any method

Parents pay by transfer or card through LodumPayment, or from the WhatsApp/Telegram AI assistant — whatever is easiest for them.

⚡ Automatic reconciliation

Payments are matched to outstanding invoices — tuition, levies, bus — in priority order, so your books stay clean without admin effort.

📋 Clear invoices & defaulters

Itemised fee structures, per-student or per-class invoices, and live defaulter tracking — you always know exactly who owes what.

Simple to start

Up and running in under a day

From sign-up to a fully working school system — no IT team required.
