About Gredli
What it is, why it was built, and who it is designed for.
A school assessment tool built for how schools actually work
Gredli is a school assessment management application for primary, junior and senior schools. It gives schools a single place to create assessments, enter marks, manage learners, generate report forms and merit lists, and communicate results to parents.
The application works on any device, including phones, tablets and computers, and includes offline marks entry so teachers can work without needing a stable internet connection.
Gredli is a freemium product. The core features, including creating assessments, entering marks, publishing results and generating report forms, are free. Additional features like bulk SMS and push notifications are available on paid plans.
Schools are still doing this work by hand
In many schools, assessment management has not changed in decades. The tools are not working for teachers.
Report forms take hours
Teachers manually fill report forms at the end of every term. One class, one teacher, hours of work, and it happens three times a year.
Spreadsheets break under pressure
Many schools use spreadsheets that were not designed for this. They break, get corrupted, or become impossible to maintain across multiple teachers.
Software assumes stable internet
Most school software requires a consistent internet connection. In many schools, especially in rural areas, that connection is not reliable.
Cost keeps schools out
Software that could help is often too expensive for smaller or under-resourced schools. The result is that those who need it most cannot afford it.
Tools are not built for mobile
Most teachers' primary device is a phone. Most school software is built for a desktop. That mismatch means teachers work around the tool instead of with it.
Nothing talks to anything
Marks are in one place, reports are in another, SMS is a separate tool. Gredli brings these together into one workflow.
Schools deserve software that works for them
The goal is not to digitise paperwork. It is to remove the paperwork entirely.
Gredli is built on the belief that teachers should spend their time teaching, not filling forms. Every hour a teacher spends on administrative work is an hour not spent with learners.
The vision is a tool that handles the administrative burden of assessments so completely that schools stop thinking about it. Results should be accurate, reports should be automatic, and parents should hear from the school without the teacher needing to do anything extra.
Gredli starts with the schools that need it most, those without large IT budgets, those in areas with unreliable internet, those where the teacher is also the administrator. It is built to work in those conditions first, and scale from there.
