History
Skoolcheckout is owned by Lufem Systems, a company based in Lagos-Nigeria. Skoolcheckout was officially launched in 2012, and is continuously breaking grounds in many cities of its base country used by multiple institutions within the country. The CEO of the company, Odusami Agbolade, a graduate of University of lagos (UNILAG), first came up with the thought of a system that simplified school administration and management in 2002. He realized that the bane of institutions (many of them schools at the time) was managing its fees collection which 'spurred' him to come up with the application to solve the problem. As time went on, and at the requests of clients, several other modules have been added [more especially course and result management] to the application since its time of creation which now makes its full list of features. Though the application is a hosted service, thus can be accessed from any browser, (at the time this writing) work has begun for a more mobile friendly administrator application as requested from many of its clients. Skoolcheckout has an online version of the application and also mobile versions for Android and Blackberry platforms that allows access for parents/guardians. This mobile application allow payment of fees, checking of results and application into institutions listed on its platform.
