How to run your nursery & primary school business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
For a private school, the hardest weeks are the start of each term: which families have paid, who paid part, and who needs a reminder, all while selling uniforms and books.
TheCEOApp's school office keeps fees by family and term, with polite reminders to parents.
Fees by family and term
Record pupils by class and this term's fees by family. See who has paid and who owes, and send polite WhatsApp reminders to parents.
Uniforms, books and extras
Sell uniforms, textbooks and exercise books from stock, and record lunch or school bus charges per term.
School events
Sell tickets for end-of-year parties or concerts and check guests in at the gate with QR codes.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example textbook, exercise book (dozen) and school uniform (set), and services like school fees (primary 1, per term), creche fees and lunch (per term). Suggestions for a nursery & primary school come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the pupil on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by term, session, month, copy and piece. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the pupil wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out.
