Schools can fully use a cloud system, Rise School Management, even during a 21-day #lockdown

by Anna Toma, Rise SA Team

Rise School Management is a cloud school management system.

We have created it together with schools, taking onboard first-hand feedback from them & using high quality software cloud solutions that are built on 1C:Enterprise platform.

A recent development is Incident Management in Rise School Management - both on mobile & desktop.

Since March 26, 2020, South Africa and many other countries have been in the lockdown, as countries take serious measures to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus.

With Schools closed during a 21-day #lockdown, some Bursars have continued with training & Weekly Meetings with our Team from the comfort of their homes. This is great! This would not be possible if it was not a cloud technology that we use for Rise School Management.

For Schools, it is even more important to keep finances up to date, esp. now in a current time of uncertainty.

Working with your Bank Stream regularly is a sure way to bring your School's finances up to date.

1. Bank Stream is a copy of your bank statement.

It allows Bursars to assign transactions to Learner Invoices and assign School's payments to General Ledger's accounts.

NB: When Bursar approves transactions in the Bank Stream, your School's 043-Form & Budget Report will be automatically populated in Rise School Management.

2. By working with your Bank Stream regularly, you ensure:

Firstly, all your transactions are assigned to correct accounts & approved.

Secondly, if parents downloaded Rise School Communicator & were linked to the Financial info, they will receive a notification in LIVE Billing in Rise School Communicator, after they make a payment. → less paper for schools & better communication with parents

Thirdly, Schools ensure that all your critical reports - 043-Form, Budget & others - are up-to-date & current.

Rise SA does training via Google Hangouts. You can do it from anywhere. All you need is an Internet connection.

If your School struggles with accessing financial information, having on hand updated info on learner accounts, generating financial reports & seamless paperless communication with parents, please email Anna anna.toma@risebiz.co.za for a live demo.

Below is a testimonial from one of the schools that is currently undergoing training in our system:

"Rise School Management is a cloud platform that has (in my opinion) revolutionized the way the schools will operate and interact with all stakeholders (internally and externally). I love technology and creating efficiencies and effectiveness in our environments, and the Rise system is the perfect platform. IT is meant to improve our lives and this software will certainly do that, not only for the school but also stakeholders (especially parents)."
