The school operating system for East Africa
Run the whole school as one calm system.
Fees in spreadsheets, marks in books, parents in a hundred WhatsApp groups, and no one quite sure where a child is. Brim brings it all into one calm system — built for UNEB, NCDC and the way your school actually runs.

One system
Everything your school does, in one place.
Every part of school life — finance to the dormitory, the classroom to the gate — on one map, sharing one roll, one calendar, one source of truth. Not a dozen apps stitched together.
Built for here
UNEB grading, NCDC syllabus, UGX, PAYE and NSSF from source, SMS and USSD for low-connectivity homes. Not a foreign template translated — built for how your school runs.
Serious about trust
Double-entry books with maker-checker in the database. End-to-end encrypted family messages. Medical and safeguarding records sealed to the right person. An audit trail on every sensitive read.
Beautiful on every device
A real desktop app, real phone and tablet apps, and a gate kiosk — each designed for its screen, not a website squeezed into a frame. The thing your staff and parents touch every day feels like care.
What it does
The depth is in the detail.
Books your auditor trusts. Approvals no one can fake.
- True double-entry general ledger — reports come from the books, not a side table
- Maker-checker enforced in the database: no one approves their own transaction
- PAYE, NSSF and WHT from URA/NSSF source — fees, payroll and vendors in one place
The family app
One app. Two people. The whole school day.
Not a parent portal with a student tab. A genuine studies app for the student, and a calm, private window for the parent — the same app, designed for each.

The name
Every school brims with things to keep safe — every child, every shilling, every record. Brim is the one calm place that holds them all.
Built to be trusted
A school holds its community’s most private things. Brim treats them that way.
End-to-end encryption
Family messages the server never sees in the clear.
Sealed records
Medical and safeguarding notes open only to the right role.
Maker-checker
No one approves their own money — enforced in the database.
Audited reads
Every look at a sensitive record leaves a record of its own.
Everywhere it’s needed
On every device your school already has.
Each surface is designed for its screen — not one layout stretched to fit. Desktop leads the office; phones and tablets go where the work is.
When the network won’t
Works when the connection doesn’t.
Power and signal aren’t guarantees here — so Brim is built to keep going without them, and to reach the families a smartphone-only app would quietly leave behind.
Let’s get your school on Brim.
A pilot includes free data import, staff training and a full term of support — priced for Ugandan schools, in UGX.
