Why schools switch to SAMS

The problems we hear from owners, principals and finance managers — and what SAMS does about them.

Fees collected on time

Invoice a whole grade in one click. Reminders go out by themselves, and parents pay online with your own PayTabs or HyperPay account.

Parents stop calling the office

The parent portal shows attendance, fees, report cards and notices, in Arabic, on any phone.

One system, clear roles

Replace the spreadsheets and the one person who understands them. Every user gets only the access their job needs, with an audit trail.

Report cards in a day, not a week

Teachers enter marks per class. Results, ranks and printable cards follow, and are released to the portal when you decide.

Everything a school does, in one place

Built with a working school, module by module.

Fees & finance

Know who has paid, and who has not

Fee plans, installments, discounts, scholarships, receipts and refunds. Tax and currency on every document. Expenses and finance reports without a spreadsheet.

  • Invoices for a grade in one click
  • Installments, discounts and scholarships
  • Online payment from the parent portal
  • Daily cash and aging reports

Timetable & attendance

A timetable that respects real constraints

Build class and teacher timetables, spot clashes at once, and take attendance in seconds. Parents hear about an absence the same morning.

  • Clash detection for teachers and rooms
  • Attendance per class or per period
  • Absence alerts by email and SMS
  • Printable timetables for every class and teacher

Grades & report cards

Marks in, report cards out

Teachers enter marks per class. SAMS works out totals, ranks and grades, prints the report cards, and releases them to families when you say so.

  • Weighted assessments and grade scales
  • Printable report cards in Arabic and English
  • Release to the portal when ready
  • Year-end promotion and re-enrolment

  • Online application form for your school

Built to protect student data

Schools hold children’s records. SAMS treats them that way.

Roles per person and campus

Owners, accountants, registrars, teachers, nurses, drivers and parents each see only what their job needs.

Audit log

Who changed what, and when, on every record that matters. Nothing can be edited or deleted from the log.

Data protection, PDPL-ready

Export everything a school stored, and erase it for good when a school leaves. Data-processing terms included.

Backups & encryption

HTTPS everywhere and automatic database backups. Or keep it all on your own server.

Where should it run?

Questions, answered

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 30 days with every module included, and no card needed. We remind you 7 days and 1 day before it ends.

How do we pay for SAMS?

After the trial, choose a plan in Settings → Subscription and pay by card, or ask for an invoice and pay by bank transfer. Yearly billing is the default; monthly costs 20% more.

Do teachers and parents cost extra?

No. Staff accounts and the parent portal are included. You pay only for enrolled students, with a minimum per plan.

Is it really in Arabic?

Yes. The whole app, the parent portal, printed documents and emails work in Arabic with right-to-left layout, and switch to English in one click.

Can we host it ourselves?

Yes. SAMS Self-hosted runs on your own Linux server with Docker, installed with one command. Your licence key is checked offline, so it keeps working without an internet link.

Can we move our existing data in?

Yes. Import students, families and staff from spreadsheets, and we can do the setup for you with the onboarding package.

What happens if we stop paying?

You get 14 grace days with everything working, then 60 days where you can view and export your data but not change it. You can export everything at any time.

Can parents pay fees online?

On the Professional plan and above, yes, through your own PayTabs or HyperPay account, so money goes straight to your school.
