MyEncore reads and writes SA-SAMS — the South African Schools Administration and Management System used by every public school for departmental reporting. Keep SA-SAMS as your departmental source of truth. Add MyEncore as the operational layer parents, learners, teachers, and admins actually use every day.
Book a Demo See Pricing| SA-SAMS direction | What MyEncore does |
|---|---|
| Import from SA-SAMS | Learners, parents, classes, subjects, fees, transport routes. Migration runs at setup — typically 3-5 business days for a 500-learner school. |
| Export back to SA-SAMS | Attendance, marks, term reports, learner profile changes. School chooses the export cadence — most do weekly or monthly. |
| Source-of-truth split | SA-SAMS stays authoritative for departmental reporting. MyEncore is authoritative for operational data parents and teachers interact with daily. |
Many school management apps in South Africa ignore SA-SAMS entirely or only offer rudimentary CSV uploads. That forces school admins into double-data-entry — type once into SA-SAMS, type again into the app — which is the #1 reason apps get abandoned after 6 months.
MyEncore eliminates that. Update a learner's class in MyEncore, it flows back to SA-SAMS on the next sync. Add a new learner in SA-SAMS, MyEncore picks it up. One source of truth, no double-entry.
Every public K-12 school in South Africa is required to report through SA-SAMS. MyEncore extends that compliance work with the operational and parent-engagement layer that SA-SAMS itself was never designed to be. Private and independent schools can also use MyEncore standalone (SA-SAMS sync optional).
SA-SAMS integration is included free with every MyEncore subscription. Total cost is just the platform: R50 per learner per year (under 1000 learners) or R27 in Year 1 for schools with 1000+ learners (5-year taper to R50).
