About us

We build software that helps schools run well

Iwat Digital Solutions is a software company in Kampala, Uganda. IWAT School Solutions is our platform for schools: management, learning, finance, websites and a free school directory.

Why we started

We kept meeting the same people: head teachers who spent the last week of every term adding marks by hand, bursars who could not say quickly which parents had paid, and parents who learned about problems only when it was too late. Most software on offer was built for other countries, priced for large schools, or so complicated that teachers gave up after a month.

So we built a system for the schools we know: one that follows the Ugandan curriculum and UNEB grading, takes fees by mobile money, works on a teacher’s phone when the internet is slow, and costs a price a school can plan for each term. Then we kept adding what schools asked for: online learning and exams, payroll, websites, and a directory that helps families find schools.

What we believe

  • Phone first

    Most teachers and parents use a phone, often on limited data. Everything we build has to work well there first.

  • Records are precious

    Learners’ records are encrypted, backed up every night, and always exportable by the school that owns them.

  • Plain words

    Screens and messages written for busy people, not technical manuals.

  • Fair prices

    Termly plans by school size, no set-up fees, and a free trial with your own data.
