Mansah – Enterprise School Management System

The Challenge

Education operators needed a single enterprise platform that could run a full school — not a lightweight SaaS tool with a few modules bolted on. Students, parents, teachers, and administrators each needed their own workflows. Payments, invoicing, email and SMS communications, admissions, attendance, homework, discipline, and compliance all had to live in one system, with clean separation when multiple schools shared the platform.

• •Fragmented tools for admissions, fees, attendance, messaging, and staff compliance
• •No reliable multi-school tenancy: school data, branding, and payment gateways had to stay isolated
• •Parents, teachers, and admins needed role-specific access — not one generic dashboard
• •Payments (Stripe / direct debit) and transactional email had to plug into real school workflows, not sit as side tools

The Solution

StackWise designed and built Mansah as an enterprise-grade, multi-tenant school management system. Each school runs as its own tenant — isolated schemas, branding, payment gateways, and email/SMS settings — while the platform owner can onboard new schools through a dedicated owner portal.

The product covers the school lifecycle end to end: applications and interviews, student and teacher records, classes and timetables, attendance and homework, parent visibility, invoices and subscriptions, discipline, staff compliance (including DBS / safeguarding / first aid), and email/SMS communications with delivery analytics.

• Multi-Tenant School Isolation

  Schema-per-tenant PostgreSQL model with subdomain routing. Each school gets its own data boundary, admin accounts, Stripe/GoCardless keys, and email settings — without a separate server per school.

• Role-Based Portals

  Dedicated experiences for Super Admin, Admin, Teacher, and Parent — covering user management, class operations, homework, attendance, payments, and child progress.

• Payments & Invoicing

  Invoice generation, fee tracking, subscriptions, and parent checkout via Stripe and GoCardless — configured per school in Payment Gateways settings.

• Email, SMS & Communications

  School-configurable email (including Gmail SMTP and Microsoft 365) and SMS, message templates, delivery metrics, and credential emails for staff onboarding.

• Full Academic Operations

  Courses, classes, rooms, timetables, exams, attendance (including offline bulk sync for classroom wifi), homework, progress, discipline incidents, and teacher compliance tracking.

How We Built It

The Outcome

Mansah is not positioned as a generic SaaS template. It is a purpose-built enterprise school management platform: multi-tenant by design, role-aware across the whole school community, and integrated with the payment and communication channels schools actually use. New schools can be onboarded through the owner portal, seeded safely, and run with their own branding, gateways, and staff without rewriting the product for each tenant.
