In a significant step toward enhancing efficiency and improving service delivery, Great Lakes University of Kisumu (GLUK) is proud to announce the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system acquired from ABNO Softwares International. This advanced system is set to revolutionize the university’s internal processes, bringing enhanced automation and integration across key areas, including admissions, academics, finance, procurement, and accommodation.

Streamlining Operations for Improved Service Delivery

The ERP system from ABNO Softwares International will allow GLUK to streamline processes that were previously handled in silos, creating a more cohesive and efficient operation across various departments. Students, faculty, and staff can now look forward to a system that provides faster, more accurate services while significantly reducing paperwork and administrative delays.

Key Areas of Transformation

1. Admissions – From initial application to enrollment, the ERP system will provide a centralized platform for handling all admission-related activities. This will simplify the application process for prospective students and improve communication and tracking for administrators.
2. Academic Management – Faculty and students will benefit from a digitalized academic system, including class scheduling, grading, and access to course materials. This ensures that students have a seamless experience in accessing the resources they need to excel in their studies.
3. Finance – The ERP’s finance module will support the automation of financial processes, such as fee payment, invoicing, and budgeting. This will allow for accurate, real-time financial tracking and reporting, making it easier for students and their guardians to manage financial obligations.
4. Procurement – By automating procurement, the university can maintain a transparent and efficient purchasing system. The ERP will allow departments to submit procurement requests, monitor approvals, and track orders, ensuring that resources are available when needed without unnecessary delays.
5. Accommodation Management – Managing student housing has always been a complex process, but with the ERP, accommodation allocations, room assignments, and maintenance requests can be managed from one centralized system.

A Commitment to Excellence in Education

The implementation of this ERP system underscores GLUK’s commitment to embracing technology as a driver of educational excellence. With this system in place, the university aims to not only improve internal efficiencies but also enhance the overall experience for students, faculty, and administrative staff alike.

As GLUK continues to grow and adapt in the evolving educational landscape, this ERP system will be a cornerstone of the university’s strategic plan to deliver modern, quality education. We look forward to realizing the benefits of this system and ensuring that GLUK remains at the forefront of educational innovation in Kenya.
