The smartwatch platform your school is in charge of.
Parents want their children to wear smartwatches. dassie gives your school the controls: rules for class time, a live map of the grounds, SOS your team can act on, and privacy parents can trust.
Six things that make dassie work for a school. Hover for a peek, click to jump.
Calm classrooms, because you set the rules.
Choose where and when voice notes, collectables and payments switch off: in classrooms, across the whole school, or on the sports field. SOS and GPS always stay on. Try it below.
- Voice notes
- Collectables
- Payments
- SOS Always on
- GPS Always on
Lesson time in the classrooms: voice notes, collectables and payments are off. SOS and GPS still work.
Your control room for the whole school grounds.
Every learner on the grounds, with a status ring you can read at a glance. If a child presses SOS during school hours, your team sees it instantly and works it through: acknowledge, respond, resolve.
On the grounds and connected.

Tap Simulate an SOS to see how your team handles an alert.
A learner presses SOS. It reaches the School Portal straight away, with name, grade and where they are.
Someone on your team takes it, so everyone knows it’s being handled.
Get to the child. The learner’s dot on the map shows you where.
Close it off. Every step is kept in the portal.
Talk to wrists, and to parents.
Send a message to one child, a grade or the whole school: a well done, an event or a reminder. Deliver it to their watches, to their parents in the dassie parent app, or both. Send it now or schedule it. Give it a go:
Scan to pay, not pocket money.
At the tuckshop the watch shows a QR code, and the cashier scans it at the till. Each parent’s spending limits and blocked items are checked automatically, and parents can approve an extra treat from their phone.
How the tuckshop worksOne portal for your whole school.
The dassie School Portal runs in the browser. There’s nothing to install, and everything your office needs is in one place.
Your team
Invite staff to the School Portal and manage who has access.
Inbox
Messages and alerts for your school in one place, so nothing slips through.
Setup
Define your zones, watch rules and tuckshop rules once, then let them run.
Watches
Provision watches into your fleet and link each one to a learner.
Broadcasts
See what’s scheduled and what’s been sent, all in one list.
Safety
The live map, list view and recent safety activity for your grounds.
No SIM cards for your office to manage.
Every watch comes with a built-in eSIM, already loaded. Parents look after the data in their app and pay for it themselves, so your office never deals with airtime or SIM cards.
- Ready out of the box
A pre-loaded eSIM in every watch. Provision it and it connects.
- Your Wi-Fi, your call
You can allow watches onto the school Wi-Fi, which saves families’ mobile data.
- Location stays on
Data is reserved for GPS, so learners stay on your live map even if their everyday data runs out.
- Parents handle top-ups
Automatic monthly top-ups, paid with the card each parent saved once. The same card pays at the tuckshop.
Allowed. Watches on the grounds use the school Wi-Fi.
You see learners on the grounds, during school hours. That’s it.
No tracking outside school, no health data, no voice notes. Every bit of data stays in South Africa. Nothing passes through watch supplier servers, and suppliers have no remote access.
Three steps and you’re live.
- 1Provision a watch
Add the watch to your school’s fleet in the School Portal.
- 2Link the pupil
Pair the watch with a learner and their grade.
- 3Invite the parents
Parents get an invite and set up the family app.
