Bed-level allocation
Learners are allocated to a house, a dormitory and a bed, so occupancy is a fact rather than an estimate and a new admission can be placed without walking the dormitories.
Operations
Boarding & hostels
A boarding school knows where every learner is, at every hour.

Why it matters
Roll call that produces a record
Evening roll call is taken in the system by house staff. An absence at roll call is escalated immediately rather than noticed at breakfast.
Exeats tracked properly
Sign-out and sign-in are recorded with the authorising member of staff and the collecting adult, which is the record a school needs when a question is asked later.
A boarding school takes on responsibility for learners twenty-four hours a day, and the records that discharge that responsibility are usually kept in a hardback book on a housemaster’s desk.
Msomi allocates learners to a house, a dormitory and a specific bed, which makes occupancy a fact and placement of a new boarder a two-minute exercise. Roll call — evening and morning — is taken in the system, and an absence is escalated at the moment it is recorded rather than at breakfast.
Exeats and leave-outs run through a request and approval flow, with sign-out and sign-in recording both the authorising member of staff and the adult collecting the learner. Guardians are notified when their child signs out and when they return. When a question is asked about a particular weekend, the school has an answer.
