Product Features

Four tools that cover the four
highest-friction moments in school life.

Alama doesn't try to replace your entire school management system. It solves the specific problems that drain the most time, money, and parent trust, and it does them exceptionally well.

Save 10+ minutes every morning

⏱10-Second Smart Attendance

Exception-based roll call that works even on a weak connection.

Traditional attendance wastes precious class time. A teacher calling 40 names can lose 10–15 minutes of instructional time every morning, that's over 30 hours per term, per class.

Alama uses exception-based attendance. The system starts by assuming everyone is present. The teacher simply taps the 1 or 2 students who are actually Absent or Late. Done. The entire process takes less than 10 seconds.

What's included

  • Built for weak 3G/Edge and optimized for minimal data usage
  • Marks: Present, Absent, Late, or Excused
  • Parents notified instantly when their child is marked absent
  • Headmaster can see real-time class attendance across the whole school
  • Permanent record: no attendance register can be lost or backdated
For matrons, nurses & discipline masters

🩺Digital Logbook

Replace the physical ledger book with a permanent, searchable digital record.

The physical logbook is the single biggest blindspot in boarding schools. Parents have no visibility into what happens between drop-off and pickup: a sick child, a disciplinary incident, or a remarkable achievement.

Alama's Digital Logbook lets the matron, nurse, or discipline master log any incident in seconds directly from their phone. Parents receive a push notification immediately. The Headmaster has a full, searchable history of every incident at the school.

What's included

  • Log categories: Health, Behavior, Achievement, General
  • Severity levels: Low, Medium, High, Critical
  • Attach photos, e.g. a doctor's note or prescription
  • Parent notified in real-time with full incident details
  • Teachers cannot edit or delete logs once submitted: full accountability
  • Control visibility: mark sensitive entries as private from parents
Replace bulk SMS entirely

πŸ“£Smart Announcements

Broadcast to the whole school, or target a single class, at zero SMS cost.

Bulk SMS is expensive, limited to plain text, and gives no visibility into whether parents actually read the message. Paper letters sent home with students get lost, crumpled, or conveniently forgotten.

Alama's announcement system lets Headmasters broadcast rich-text announcements to every parent at the school instantly. Teachers can send targeted reminders strictly to parents in their assigned class. No character limits. No per-message cost.

What's included

  • School-wide broadcasts from Headmaster or Admin
  • Class-specific messages from the assigned class teacher
  • Rich text, not limited to 160 characters like SMS
  • Attach files or PDFs to any announcement
  • Parents receive push notification on their phone
  • Headmaster can confirm which parents have opened an announcement
Report cards & invoices

πŸ“„Document Delivery

Report cards and fee invoices delivered directly to parents' phones.

At the end of every term, thousands of parents make the trip to their child's school just to collect a printed report card or fee invoice. It wastes parents' time and creates unnecessary traffic on school grounds.

Alama doesn't change how your school generates documents, you keep using your existing systems exactly as you do today. You simply upload the final PDFs to Alama, and they are delivered instantly to each parent's private dashboard. Securely. Individually.

What's included

  • Supports: Report Cards, Fee Receipts, Certificates, and more
  • Upload once: each parent only sees their own child's documents
  • Documents tied to specific terms for easy organisation
  • Parents notified the moment a new document is available
  • Zero change to your existing grading or invoicing workflows
  • Permanent digital archive: parents can access old term reports anytime
