The hidden cost of missing fee payments

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any educational institution. Yet, many schools in Ghana struggle with arrears that exceed 20% of their expected revenue.

The Cost of Manual Tracking

Every hour your bursary staff spends chasing parents on the phone is an hour lost to more productive work. Worse, manual receipts often lead to reconciliation errors that take weeks to resolve.

Automated Revenue Recovery

Ardent SMS introduces automated SMS and Email reminders that trigger before and after deadlines. By offering multiple payment channels (Mobile Money, Bank Deposit, Cards), we remove the friction of payment.

Schools using Ardent see an average of 30% increase in on-time payments within the first term.
