One source of truth

When records disagree, every decision slows down.

Fees live in one file, attendance in another, and results in a third. Staff spend the term reconciling information instead of acting on it.

Fee follow-up starts with a manual search

The bursar checks receipt books, bank alerts and transfer screenshots before anyone can confirm a balance or send the right reminder.

Result preparation becomes a deadline rush

Teachers re-enter CA and exam scores into result sheets, creating extra work and more room for mistakes.

Routine family questions interrupt the office

Staff repeatedly confirm payments, attendance and results because families cannot check the same record themselves.

Management sees problems too late

By the time enrolment, collection and attendance figures are assembled, the window to act has often passed.

Know exactly what has been paid and what is still due.

  • See outstanding balances by student, year or age without rebuilding a debtor list.
  • Record cash, bank transfers and supported online payments against the same student account.
  • Issue traceable numbered receipts for full payments, part-payments and extra levies.
  • Give families a clear balance while management tracks collection across the term.

Parents can pay online through supported Flutterwave methods. Takadar verifies every transaction before issuing a numbered receipt and takes no cut of your institution’s fees; parents see any processing charge, and in Nigeria a small published Takadar fee, before they pay.

  1. 1

    Configure your institution

    We set up your institution, session, terms, classes or programmes and fee structure with you.

  2. 2

    Import your lists

    Upload students and staff by CSV, review every row before committing, and handle unsupported history with our team.

    Go live by role

    Teaching staff, bursars, leaders and families each get the access and guidance they need for their part of the day.

Your institution’s records stay inside your institution.

PostgreSQL row-level security filters institutional data in the database itself. Role permissions then limit what each person can see.

Access follows each person’s responsibility:

  • Proprietor or governing council Institution-wide operations and finance.
  • Principal, rector or vice-chancellor Institution-wide academics and attendance.
  • Bursar or finance officer Fees, receipts and collection.
  • Teacher or lecturer Assigned classes, courses and students.
  • Exams officer Marks, grades and result publishing.
  • Parent or guardian Only their own child or ward.
  • Student Only their own record.
  • Group owner Authorized institutions in one view.

Simple pricing that scales with enrolment.

Pay one monthly rate per active student. Published volume bands lower the rate as your institution grows.

No setup fee, no module licences and no lock-in contract. Takadar takes no cut of your fees. Use the calculator to estimate your monthly cost. An estimate. We confirm your rate in writing before your first invoice.

Questions

Answers before you make a decision.

How is our institution’s data kept separate?

Every institution-scoped record carries a school ID. PostgreSQL row-level security filters data in the database, so a signed-in user cannot query another institution’s records. Permissions then control access inside your own.

Does Takadar work for universities and polytechnics?

Yes. Higher education runs on the same student record with programmes, levels, credit units, GPA and CGPA, course registration, result approval from department to faculty to senate, and transcripts. Universities and polytechnics have their own plans and volume bands.

Can you move our existing records?

Student and staff lists can be imported by CSV with a row-by-row preview before anything is committed. Guardians, opening balances and past results need assisted setup for now. Write to hello@takadar.com with what you have, and we will confirm the migration plan.

What happens when the internet is slow or power goes out?

Takadar runs in the browser and is designed for phones on mobile data. There is no offline mode, so attendance and score submissions need a live connection. Unsaved work may need to be entered again after an interruption.

Will Takadar work on our staff’s existing phones?

Yes. Takadar works in modern mobile browsers such as Chrome and Safari. There is no app-store download, and common tasks such as attendance and score entry are designed for phone screens.

How do families receive information?

Students and families use the portal to check fees, attendance, results and notices. SMS is on the roadmap and is not live yet, so families currently need browser access to see updates.

Does Takadar take a cut of fees?

No. Fees settle to your institution’s account. You can record cash and bank transfers or accept supported Flutterwave methods online. Takadar verifies online transactions before issuing numbered receipts.

Can we export our data if we leave?

Your records are yours. Export your students, fees and payment history whenever you want them, on any plan. Exports are provided as CSV files covering students, outstanding fees and recorded payments. There is no lock-in contract.

Who trains our staff?

Our team does. Guided onboarding covers the workflows each role uses most, including attendance, payments and score entry.

Start next term with one record your whole institution can trust.

We configure your institution, import your lists and walk each team through the workflows they use every day.
