Every school is different.
VISCO bends to their reality.
Drag fields to reorder. Drop new ones from the palette. Capture national ID front and back with the live camera. When a registrar needs a new option that doesn't exist in a dropdown, they press + and it lands in a pending-approval queue — no engineering ticket.
- Section/field reordering with keyboard, mouse, and touch.
- Live camera capture with switch front/back, retake, multi-shot.
- Inline "+" on any select to add school-specific values with approval flow.

Ethiopia-first by designPowerful for admins.
Powerful for admins.
Simple for every family.
VISCO is not an imported template translated last-minute. It's a school OS designed around the calendar, channels, currencies, and language realities of Ethiopian education — and ready to expand across the continent.

- Role-based access for school owners, admins, teachers, parents, and students.
- Works offline for attendance and queues safely when connectivity is weak.
- Scales from one campus to multi-branch school groups without rebuilding workflows.
Parent portal
Welcome back, Hana
English + አማርኛ everywhere
Forms, dropdowns, report cards, SMS templates and the dashboard render in either language. Noto Sans Ethiopic ships from day one.
ETB-first, multi-gateway finance
ETB and USD ledger views with adapters integrated for Chapa, Telebirr, SantimPay, ArifPay and Stripe — plus cash and bank-transfer journals. Ledger-friendly receipts make tax reconciliation simple.
Local channels
Bulk SMS plus optional Telegram and WhatsApp provider hooks — the channels parents actually answer in Addis, Bahir Dar, Hawassa & Mekelle.
MoE-aligned structure
Grade levels, terms, calendar, and reporting templates aligned with Ministry of Education conventions out of the box.

Premium tier
A school-data assistant that cannot go off the rails.

Read-only & tenant-scoped
Allowlisted metric tools, never raw SQL.
Anomaly detection
Absenteeism, payment drop, grade decline.
Charts & summaries
Cited data provenance, exportable.

Golden questions guard regressions.
