Acorn & Orbit is the white-label school platform that replaces fragmented WhatsApp groups, printed notices, and lost emails with one organised home for every family.

the system that lets the school just be the school.

Acorn & Orbit is built and operated by ECHO Technologies — a South African company building the livelihood economy: progressive digital platforms that empower individuals and communities to manage life’s essential services with transparency, security, and confidence.
ECHO Technologies sees the gaps in everyday infrastructure — in our homes, in our communities, and in the systems families rely on — and builds the tools to close them. Acorn & Orbit is the early-childhood and schooling expression of that mission: one calm place for every family, every school, every child.
Alongside Acorn & Orbit, ECHO Technologies operates platforms across home care, sectional-title communities, and family legal and estate planning — each solving a real, daily problem with the same standards of trust and transparency.
