Made by students, for students

Your student government
runs on email.
It doesn't have to.

Manage requests, reports, approvals and responsibilities in one place — configured around the way your university actually works.

Configurable per university
No IT department needed
Structured from day one

Administration scattered
across too many tools

Most student governments piece together their administration from whatever tools are available. Requests arrive by email. Approvals happen in WhatsApp. Records live in someone's personal Google Drive.

When the board changes — and it changes every year — the new team inherits a pile of old folders, undocumented processes, and no clear picture of what happened before.

There is a better way to run a student government.

Everything your student government
needs, in one workspace.

This is what sideKIC looks like in daily use — a dashboard that connects financial requests, approvals, reports, documents and people in one place.

Requests, approvals, documents, reports and people — connected by default, not bolted on later.

Everything your student
government needs, together

Pre-built modules for the work student governments actually do. Your university admin configures how each one works for your specific structure.

Financial Requests

Submit, review and approve funding requests with a complete record of every decision.

Approvals

Every decision is recorded with who and when. Nothing gets lost between inboxes.

Reports

Structured reporting that keeps the board accountable, year after year.

Documents

Keep institutional documents organized and visible only to the people who need them.

User Management

Give each person the responsibilities and tools their role requires.

Admin Configuration

Configure procedures around how your university actually works.

From scattered tools to one system

Getting started is straightforward. sideKIC fits around the way your university already works — it doesn't force you into someone else's process.

01Step 1

Your university is set up

Your organization is added once — its name, its bodies, its structure.

02Step 2

Your procedures are configured

Admins define the approval steps that match how your university actually works.

03Step 3

Users get the tools they need

Roles and modules are assigned, so each person sees only what they're responsible for.

04Step 4

Your administration runs in one place

Requests, approvals, documents and reports stay connected and on record.

sideKIC adapts to the university. You don't adapt your university to the software.

Every university works differently.
The platform adapts.

You configure the approval process to match how your university actually handles financial requests — not the other way around.

This is one configuration. Your university admin sets up the exact steps that match your governance structure — no code required.

Want to see how this works for your university?

Not separate modules —
one connected process.

sideKIC isn't a drawer of unrelated tools. When a financial request moves through your organization, the information stays connected from the first submission to the permanent record.

One record, everywhere

The same request is referenced at every step — no re-typing, no copies drifting apart.

Every decision traceable

You can always see who approved what, when, and which documents supported it.

Nothing gets lost

Documents and decisions stay attached to the process instead of living in personal inboxes.

Each person sees exactly
what they need

The university admin decides which modules each person can access. A Chair sees different tools than a Financial Referee. Nobody is overwhelmed by functionality that isn't relevant to them.

Built for student organizations
that have to run like organizations.

sideKIC is designed for student governments and representative student organizations — bodies that handle real money, real decisions and real records, and need the structure to match.

If your organization is accountable to its members, sideKIC fits — whatever you call yourselves and wherever your university is.

Student governments & representative bodies
AStA
Student unions that administer budgets, projects and services.
Student councils & unions
Faculty and department councils that manage their own funds.
Student governments
Elected bodies accountable to their members.
Representative student bodies
Committees and assemblies that decide on behalf of students.
Similar university organizations
Any student-led body that has to keep reliable records.

Your structure defines how sideKIC is configured — not the other way around.

Your administration belongs to the organization,
not someone's inbox.

sideKIC is designed for organizational administration. Access is controlled, decisions are recorded, and the records stay with the organization — ready for the next board, the next audit, the next year.

System

If a question ever comes up — a disputed amount, a handover, an audit — the full history is there to answer it.

University-level separation

Each organization's data stays in its own workspace.

Role-based access

Users only see the modules and records their role allows.

Document visibility

Official documents stay with the organization, not one person's inbox.

Audit trail

Every approval and decision is recorded with who and when.

Traceable finances

Financial records remain traceable, year after year.

Export & backup

Export and back up your data whenever you need to.

No locked-in data. Your administration belongs to your organization — not to us, and not to the personal account of whoever happens to be in charge this year.

The people change. The administration
doesn't have to start over.

Student governments change every year. When the board hands over, the procedures, records and responsibilities stay in the platform — ready for whoever comes next.

What stays in the platform
Approval procedures
Configured once, inherited by every board.
Request history
Every decision, every amount, every approval — on record.
User structure
Roles and responsibilities documented, not remembered.

Official records stay with the organization, not the person.
