CHALLENGES

Manual Operations

WAHEB relied on paper-based processes, requiring physical transmission of exam and student records to their Lagos office, leading to delays and errors.

Data Management Issues

A decade’s worth of student and exam records (1.5 million+ students) had to be cleaned, digitized, and moved to a cloud-based solution

Decentralized Access

Member institutions and colleges lacked direct access to manage student records and exam processes.

Payment Inefficiencies

Payments for exams and accreditation were processed manually, resulting in cumbersome paperwork and reconciliation delays.

Making it easier to
manage examination
records.
