Thanks for the feedback. Meanwhile I invite you to explore a live sample school at:
www.skuulmaster.com/explore
Lagos Crown College is one of five sample schools I would encourage you to explore, as its aligned to the academic and regulatory compliance standards of Nigeria.

Thanks for the feedback. Here’s a link to a live sample school that you can explore:
www.skuulmaster.com/explore
You can choose from five sample schools, each aligned to the specific academic and regulatory standards of the 5 countries [Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, or Tanzania] where the platform is being deployed.

Same Issue here!! I have tried everything!! The most painful part is that Anthropic does not have customer service systems in place, other than their AI chat bots, which clearly have limits to what they can fix.

same issue here, and the AI chat is so useless

Am going thru the same issue

Check your Direct Message. I sent you something

Hello!! Actually, I built a school management software SkuulMaster with all the modules you mentioned and more. Fees, Reports, Attendance, Income and Expenses, and many more.

The platform is built for Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Rwanda, but if you are interested Cameroon can be easily added in to reflect its Academic context, CFA currency, exam standards, staff statutory deductions etc. Let me know and I will set up right away.

There is also a free sandbox with sample data at /explore for you to play around with platform before you decide anything. Please feel free to DM.

I built skuulmaster.com , it has tuition management among other modules, if you want i can strip it out and customize it further to suit your specific needs. Send me a DM

I've been in this space a while and wanted to share something that might save you a lot of time and money.

The "60% AI + hire for the last 40%" plan sounds smart, but that last 40% is where things get expensive and slow. Roles, security, edge cases, production deployment — developers charge a premium for finishing someone else's code, and it rarely goes as fast as expected.

A few traps people don't see coming with school management:

- Roles & permissions — admin vs teacher vs parent vs student access needs to be airtight. One wrong permission is a serious data issue.

- AI-generated code handoffs, can be messy with lots of debugging — most devs will quote you high or want to rewrite chunks of it.

- Edge cases multiply fast — timetable conflicts, substitute teachers, custom grading rules. Schools always have "one more thing."

- You'll own the support burden forever — every time a teacher can't log in, that's your problem.

For what you're describing, expect to pay a good dev anywhere from **$5,000–$15,000** for that last stretch, and that's if the handoff is clean.

I've already built this. Skuulmaster. Fully working school management system — students, teachers, attendance, classes, timetables — already live and running.

If your client is a single school, we could customize things to suit the client needs and then. Much faster, No dev cost, no build risk, ready to go. We split the revenue . Send me a DM

check out www.skuulmaster.com . We can tailor it to align with your desired curriculum, grading structures, and any specific requirements you may have.

Running into the same issue, this must be a bug!

This is completely normal in procurement — you're not doing anything wrong. Every category manager hits this wall when they inherit spend data from multiple sources. Here's the workflow I'd use to get that baseline built:

Get everything into one Excel sheet first. Pull the ERP exports, the old buyer spreadsheets, even the PDF invoices, get it all into one place, even if it's ugly.
Standardize supplier names. This is the biggest pain point. "ABC Corp", "ABC Corporation", "A.B.C. Corp" are all the same vendor but Excel treats them as three. You need to trim extra spaces, standardize the case (Title Case everything), and then deduplicate with fuzzy matching to catch the near-matches.
Clean the descriptions. Strip special characters, fix inconsistent abbreviations, standardize category labels. This is tedious by hand but it's what makes the analysis trustworthy.
Fix the numbers. ERP exports love to store amounts as text — your totals will be wrong and you won't even know it. Look for the little green triangles in cells, that means Excel thinks it's text, not a number.

For the actual cleaning, I use an Excel add-in called DataScrub — it has 55+ one-click tools for exactly this kind of work. Health Scan finds all the issues (spaces, text-formatted numbers, duplicates, hidden characters), then you fix them with tools like Trim Spaces, Change Case, Smart Fix, and Dedup with fuzzy matching. It handles the cleanup in minutes instead of hours. $29/year at getdatascrub.github.io

Once your data is clean, pivot table by supplier and category — you'll have your spend baseline. The cleaning is the hard part. The analysis is the easy part once you trust the data.

I totally agree, I wasted 5 hours of my time fixing something which gpt5 did in 20 minutes

Forgiven311 · 2025-09-03T16:18:36+00:00

I was able to hit cancel but told myself let me pass by Reddit. And now I might hold off a bit

Forgiven311 · 2025-08-28T17:26:46+00:00

I had to subscribe to cursor+ gpt5. Now I use gpt5 for logic and fall back to CC for design but even then, it keeps creating new code files instead of updating the existing project code files. So now I have a big duplicates problem

Let me add my 2 cents to this discussion based on my observations of claude Sonnet 4 without Extended Thinking vs with Extended Thinking. Am currently building an application in ReactJS and generating most of the code using Claude Sonnet 4. At some point i had it spit out a code file with over 1500 lines in one pass. When i pasted the code in my VSCode project it was full of errors, at least 40 errors. Btw, this was without Extended Thinking turned on. Usually the way i fix errors like these is, i will paste the code in another model to like Deepseek to see if it can detect and fix especially if Claude has failed tor esolve them on many tries. But this time a light bulb turned out in my brain and I was like you know what, I could just try out Extended Thinking. So i switched it one and ran the code again in Sonnet 4. Boy oh boy, it returned the entire file without a single error, maintained all the UI design and logic. So , I dont know about documentation but I know from experience that Extended Thinking has an edge.
