SMIS: the school management system that refuses to be a shared spreadsheet
A self-hosted school management system for schools, kindergartens, and coaching centres in Bangladesh, covering admissions, academics, attendance, fees, payroll, and guardian communication.
Why it surfaced
SMIS makes an unusually concrete ownership argument: each school gets its own deployment, database, domain, and merchant account rather than a row in a shared system. It also handles the realities of its audience, from Bengali guardian messaging to attendance where there is no signal and tabulation sheets that rank every student.
