Karri, a\npioneer of the cash-free school movement, has already removed millions of Rands\nfrom the school environment. The innovative school payment app was developed to\nremove the need for cash at schools, ultimately making learning environments\nsafer for students and teachers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school payment app that is backed by Nedbank, has helped move nearly\n1,000 schools away from cash and onto an online, cash free, safe and secure\nsystem. While creating a safer environment for both teachers and students, the\napp also reduces the administrative burden of managing cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karri CEO, Doug Hoernle, says removing the stress of large amounts of\ncash from premises where there are hundreds of children seems like a total\nno-brainer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“On paper, this may be the case, but it can be a daunting thought\nfor any financial team to step away from what you know and swap over to a\ntotally cashless system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“With Karri, creating a cash free environment does not have to be such\na mammoth task for your school\u2019s financial team. This is the only product\ncurrently in the school space that combines real-time messages, reminders, a\nsecure payment platform and a comprehensive financial management system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karri is completely free for parents to use; they simply download the\napp on their smartphone, create a login and start making payments to the\nschool. They will receive notifications when there is an upcoming payment,\nalong with the details of the collection and the option to add a reminder to\nthe calendar on their smartphone. With a built-in chat feature and a dedicated\nsupport team, parents always have access to assistance should they need help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoernle says for schools, there are also no hidden costs with Karri. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It\u2019s time to wave goodbye to your credit card machine, hefty bank\ndeposit fees and painful reconciliations,\u201d said Hoernle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy using Karri, you not only save hundreds of hours annually in time\nbut also in money.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karri offers a fully comprehensive financial management system with a\nuser-friendly dashboard where teachers can create events and collections with\nease, monitor payments and reconcile collections. More importantly, Karri is\npowered by Nedbank, meaning there are no grey areas when it comes to the\nsecurity of the school and the parent\u2019s money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says Karri has dedicated account managers across South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We offer free onsite training to all your team members and will\nhappily check in with you on a regular basis to make sure Karri is working\noptimally at school,\u201d said Hoernle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll provide your school with all the necessary marketing material you\nneed to get your parents familiar and on-board with Karri.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karri is the only app in the school space which can provide a school\nwith an all-inclusive, comprehensive financial management system with features\nsuch as being able to download class lists to excel and options to create\ncollections such as shopping lists, compulsory collections and partial payment\ncollections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This\nmeans they can tailor every collection to suit individual and specific needs,\u201d\nadded Hoernle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cParents\nlove our app and we are always improving Karri. We have a dedicated team of\ntechnicians who work tirelessly night and day to keep the Karri app working at\nit\u2019s optimum, plus we listen to your feedback. We are always adding new\nfeatures specifically requested by schools to help better their Karri\nexperience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
