Sala gives universities and colleges a complete student management system — from Prism AI screening hundreds of applicants in minutes, to an intelligence dashboard that flags at-risk students early, to a career center that proves graduate employment outcomes to funders and accreditation bodies.
Every intake cycle, your admissions team reads hundreds of applications manually under a deadline. Bias creeps in, qualified applicants get missed, and the best staff time is buried in a task AI can handle in minutes.
Students who are disengaging or falling behind only appear in your data at end of semester — after they've already failed or dropped out. By then, intervention is too late and retention suffers.
You can't tell funders, rankings bodies, or accreditors what percentage of graduates found employment — because you have no system to track it. That gap limits funding, reputation, and partnerships.
Prism AI reads every application — transcripts, essays, background, programme requirements — and produces a ranked shortlist with reasoning. Your admissions team reviews the top candidates, not every page. The result is faster decisions, higher-quality cohorts, and a defensible, consistent process.
Sala gives academic staff a live view across the full student body: enrollment, attendance, grades, and engagement signals all in one dashboard. The intelligence layer surfaces students who are showing early signs of disengagement — so your counsellors can act weeks before a problem becomes a withdrawal.
"Sala has been contracted as a Service Provider to use its best abilities to provide the deliverables in a timely manner as agreed in the Implementation Timeline. They provided the Services with the care and professionalism that is expected of a Service Provider in this industry, responded to support requests and took steps to escalate and resolve issues in a timely manner, and maintained communication with IBF's contact persons on a regular basis."
Enterprise plans include Prism AI, the intelligence dashboard, career center, and full onboarding support. Book a demo and we'll build a proposal for your institution.
Yes. Sala is designed for multi-faculty institutions. You can manage different programmes, year groups, and departments independently while the institution-level dashboard gives leadership a unified view. Each faculty can have its own admin access, timetable, and grading structure — all within one system.
Yes. Prism AI's scoring criteria are configurable per programme. A vocational programme might weight practical experience and English proficiency more heavily, while an academic programme weights transcript scores. You define the criteria; Prism AI applies them consistently across every application. The AI also produces a reasoning note for each ranking so your team can verify the logic and maintain a defensible process.
Sala is deployed live at PTEC with the Department of Higher Education (DoHE) and USAID, managing 594 students and 195 staff in one system. For specific integration requirements at your institution, discuss with our team during the demo.
Prism AI reads the application documents you provide — transcripts, personal statements, test scores, and any supplementary materials you configure. Your applicant data is never used to train public AI models. Your institution's data stays within your Sala environment. Prism AI uses foundation model capabilities to analyse and score, not historical student outcome data from other institutions.
University implementations typically take 4–8 weeks, depending on the number of programmes, existing data formats, and which modules you're deploying. We recommend a phased rollout: student records and admin first, then teaching tools, then Prism AI for the next intake. Our team handles data migration, staff training, and go-live support throughout.
Book a university demo and we'll show you Prism AI live on a real intake dataset, plus a walkthrough of the intelligence dashboard and career center.
