    The Innovative Library Solution

    Letco's founder worked as a librarian in a high school while simultaneously teaching Chemistry and Biology after graduating from high school. He continued this role even while pursuing Computer Science at university. After acquiring coding skills, he developed a library system in 2018, which facilitated book issuing at the high school where he taught. Manual book issuing consumed significant teaching time, particularly during periods of student transitions between classes. Additionally, manual record-keeping made it difficult to trace certain books that needed to be issued at specific intervals, including newly acquired government books that required labeling and recording. The system simplified the process by automating book number registration and issuing for standard course books. What previously took up to a month was condensed into a few days, allowing teachers to focus more on teaching. The system was subsequently adopted by other high schools.

    In 2020, he created an electronic election system, which was embraced by African Nazarene University. This system played a pivotal role as one of the first successful implementations of an online election system. Letco's products are beloved by our users because they are developed by one of them—one who comprehends the context and considers all the minor details, ultimately enhancing the usability of the software.

    CBC Digitization Initiativ

    Following interactions with teachers regarding the newly launched curriculum, our customers requested a system to assist in digitizing the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) to help teachers record student performance, conduct analysis, and generate automated reports. We are currently in the development and testing phase of the system. Our approach focuses on creating a product that simplifies processes and does not intimidate users. Our agile approach allows us to iterate the system and make personalized modifications until a school has an excellent system. Our goal is to empower rural public schools, which may lack sufficient funds to purchase expensive systems, by offering them a monthly payment option of KSH 500 until they complete system payments. Additionally, they only pay for server costs per term, with analysis costs aiming to be below KSH 1000, achieved through enabling offline processing for heavy tasks requiring significant computational power.
