In their own words
EduAttendance
EduAttendance is school attendance software built in Pakistan for schools using English or Urdu. It records daily roll calls, period registers, and gate check-ins and check-outs, with attendance settings configurable by section. Schools can use ZKTeco fingerprint, card, and face terminals to send live punches, and notify guardians by WhatsApp or SMS in either language, once per child per day per channel. Reports cover monthly sheets, class summaries, absentee and below-threshold lists, and register audits. A free Android app for parents and teachers comes with every plan; parents see only their own children’s records, and teachers see their sections. The PHP and MySQL system runs on EduAttendance’s cloud or a school’s server. Schools can import student lists from CSV, with rows previewed and checked before saving. A one-month trial includes the full system, student import, and the school’s WhatsApp number connected. Pricing is on request; SMS and WhatsApp gateway charges and optional readers are billed separately at cost.
