What is 1410SMS? A Platform Overview

A complete, multi-tenant school management platform for schools of every size, holding students, staff, grades, attendance, timetables, fees and online tests in one place.

A school's sign-in page on its own sub-domain: a dark panel in the school's own brand colours carrying the default crest tile, the school name and its motto, with a Ways in list marking Staff as the portal you are on and linking on to Students and Parents, beside a Staff access card asking for an email address and password
Each school gets its own branded environment on its own sub-domain, with a separate way in for staff, students and parents.

1410SMS is a complete, multi-tenant school management platform for schools of every size. Manage students, staff, academics, finance, and communication, all from one clean, role-based dashboard.

Architecture

Each school gets an isolated environment with its own subdomain (e.g. mumtaazcollege.1410sms.com), separate data, and configurable branding. Four role-based portals each have their own tailored experience:

PortalWhat they get
AdminFull platform access. Manages all data, settings, and users.
TeacherRecords grades and attendance, creates Computer-Based Tests (CBT), and views their personal weekly timetable.
StudentViews grades, attendance history, class & exam timetables, report card, and takes online CBT.
ParentViews linked children's grades, attendance, fees, and class & exam timetables in real time.

Your school URL

You choose your school's web address during registration. As you type your school name we suggest a non-hyphenated and a hyphenated option (e.g. "Faz College" → fazcollege or faz-college), and you can type your own, using lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens only. Availability is checked as you type.

Your address is permanent and cannot be changed after registration, so choose carefully. To use a different address later, you will need to configure a custom domain (e.g. portal.yourschool.edu.ng) from Configuration → Custom Domain in the admin sidebar, which is available on the Standard plan and above. 1410SMS reserves the right to revoke or reclaim a slug that breaches our Acceptable Use Policy (see also our Terms).
