Potto Benefits
Amazing benefits for everyone
Potto is a security management solution designed to ensure the safety of students against varying security threats.
Streamline Operations
Attendance, late arrivals, early dismissals, bus changes and play dates, all in one real-time system.
Simplify Communications
Parents notify pickups, request changes and receive attendance alerts through the Potto app and SMS.
Problem Statement
Over 80% of parents express concerns regarding the safety and academic performance of their child.
Many administrators have failed to lay a foundation of safety for their schools which has resulted to:
Child Theft
57% of missing persons in Nigeria are children according to the 2020 report by ICRC.
Student Truancy
Miss 19 to 38 days in a year and a student's chance of passing a standard exam drops to 35%.
Exhausting Dismissals
Pickup runs 65 minutes or more, in stress and chaos. Exactly the conditions that leave children vulnerable.
And for boarders, the school day never ends.
Boarding parents hand over twenty-four hours a day, not six. The weeks between visiting days are where their worry lives:
Unverified Exeat
Boarders get signed out by whoever arrives with the right name. Without a verified guardian record, nobody can prove otherwise.
Hostel Roll Call
Registers are taken once a night and filed in a book. Next morning, nobody can answer: where was my child at 9pm?
Emergencies After Hours
A student falls ill at midnight, their parents three states away. Every minute spent hunting for a phone number is a minute lost.
Weeks of Silence
Between visiting days, parents hear nothing at all. News of a problem arrives late, and second-hand.
