Run every part ofyour institutionfrom one place.
InstLane brings admissions, attendance, exams, fees, staff and families into one workspace shaped for your institution, so your offices stop chasing paper and parents stop waiting.
One record for every learner. The gate, the register, the marks, the fees and the messages home all write to it, so nobody types anything twice.
A day at your institution, in one place.

Shaped for your kind of institution.
A university never sees early years. An academy talks about courses and batches. Each workspace uses your words, your levels and only the modules you choose.

Everyone signs in
Staff, students and parents use one sign-in page with their email. No workspace address to remember.
Every school in its own vault.
Each institution gets a separate database. Passwords are hashed with Argon2id, sign-ins are throttled, every action is logged, and permissions are checked on every page, not just in the menu.
How we protect your dataQuestions, answered.

Afsah AhmedFounder, InstLane
“I built InstLane after watching schools run on registers, spreadsheets and group chats. Every pilot institution gets my number, and every feature is tested in a real school before it ships.”
Does InstLane work for both schools and universities?
Yes. The same system covers early years, primary and secondary (Matric, O and A Levels), intermediate colleges, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes, plus short courses. A network can run all of them in one workspace.
Which attendance devices can we connect?
ZKTeco terminals that support ADMS (push), Hikvision access controllers that send ISAPI events, and any RFID reader or middleware that can call a web address with a JSON message. We help pilot institutions connect their devices.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Attendance terminals keep punches in their own memory and send them when the connection returns. Teachers can also take the register in the browser as soon as they are back online.
Is our data kept separate from other institutions?
Yes. Every institution has its own database, and every request is checked against the institution it belongs to. You can export your data at any time.
Do parents need to install an app?
No. Parents and students sign in from any phone browser. There is nothing to install.
Does the AI read our students’ data?
Lane answers from records the person asking is already allowed to see. Most questions are answered directly from the database without any AI model. When a model is used it runs on your own server, and conversations are not stored.
