Built in Africa. Built for every curriculum.
Daftari is Africa’s most complete school & education management ERP — one platform that brings academics, finance, operations and communication together, modeling 12+ countries’ curricula natively, and engineered to grow wherever a school needs it next.
One calm, modern system for the whole school
Running a school means juggling dozens of moving parts — lessons and assessment, fees and payroll, transport and meals, exams and reports. Too often each lives in its own spreadsheet or disconnected tool, and the work of stitching them together falls on already-stretched teachers and administrators.
Daftari exists to replace that scramble with a single, coherent platform — one that speaks the language of whichever curriculum a school actually teaches, keeps every school’s data secure and independent, and works on a phone even when the network does not. We started in Kenya because that’s where the founding team could prove the depth first-hand — but the platform was never designed to stop there.
Academics, finance, operations & communication
Switch on exactly what your school needs today, and add more as you grow — every module shares one system.
Academics & curriculum
Curriculum designs, strands, sub-strands and specific learning outcomes for whichever system your school teaches — with schemes of work, lesson plans, record of work, AI-assessed assignments and report cards to match.
Finance & operations
Fees and invoicing on a real double-entry ledger, payroll, budgeting and bank reconciliation — alongside transport, cafeteria, laboratory, procurement, library, boarding, clinic and HR.
Examinations
Mtihani runs regional examinations end to end: candidate registration, papers, results capture, rankings and awards across schools.
Communication
Reach parents and staff reliably over email, in-app and SMS — even where data connectivity is patchy.
The principles behind the platform
Curriculum-native, not adapted
Daftari models each curriculum at the data layer — strands, sub-strands, SLOs and the exact competency or grading scale a system actually uses, from CBC’s EE/ME/AE/BE to letter and percentage grading elsewhere.
One platform, not silos
Academics, finance, operations and communication share one system — so a learner, an invoice and a bus run are never trapped in separate tools that do not talk to each other.
Multi-tenant by design
Every school gets its own subdomain and isolated database. Your data is your own — secure, independent and never mingled with another school.
Built for the web
Every role — parents, students, staff and drivers — gets access from any browser, on any device, with no app to install and always the latest version.
From Kenya, built to serve a continent
We started where the need was sharpest and proved the depth first — Kenya’s CBC — then built the platform to model any country’s curriculum, currency and statutory rules natively. Today that covers 12 countries across East, Southern and West Africa, with the architecture to go further still.
