What CMIS Users Say

Loved by School Administrators Across Kenya

“The automation of school operations we do here at Modern Skills College is what keeps CMIS outstanding — I don't have to be at the branches checking reports on paper each week.”
S
SimeoneCEO, Modern Skills College

"Before CMIS integration we would have large bank statements to reconcile transactions with those on counter books — not anymore, we get real-time fee payments through our bank."

D
The DirectorKismet College

"Our community — directors, parents, staff and students — are now in sync. We all access the same data on CMIS, and that has grown our confidence in the school."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before switching your school to CMIS.

You get instant bank payment notifications, a live finance position report, and no more manually cross-checking counter books against bank statements. Staff can also record fees received directly, with statements automatically generated and available in both the student and staff portals.
