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, nobody sure where a child is. Brim holds all of it, built for UNEB and NCDC.

One system
Everything your school does, in one place.
Finance to the dormitory, the classroom to the gate. One roll, one calendar, one ledger.
Built for here
The Ugandan school year, UNEB grading and URA payroll, computed at source rather than typed in.
Serious about trust
Every control is enforced by the database itself, where no hurry can talk its way past one.
Beautiful on every device
A desktop app, phone and tablet apps, a gate kiosk. Each drawn for its own screen.
What it does
The depth is in the detail.
Books your auditor trusts. Approvals no one can fake.
- Double-entry ledger the reports are read from
- Nobody approves their own transaction
- PAYE, NSSF and WHT computed at source
The family app
One app. Two people. The whole school day.
Not a parent portal with a student tab. One app that knows the difference between a student and a parent.

The name
Every school brims with things to keep safe: every child, every shilling, every record. Brim holds them in one place.
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. The database enforces it.
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 drawn for its own screen. Desktop runs the office; phones and tablets go where the work is.
When the network won’t
Works when the connection doesn’t.
Power and signal are not guarantees here. Brim keeps going without them, and reaches the homes a smartphone-only app leaves out.
Keeps working offline
Take the register, record a visit, sign a child out. It syncs when the line returns.
Any phone, no app needed
Fees, messages and holiday work by short code. A basic handset is enough.
Reaches every home
What matters goes by SMS too, so it lands on a handset with no internet at all.
