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.
SchoolPass Visitor Management
SchoolPass Visitor Management helps K–12 schools manage visitor screening, staff check-in, and student attendance. At sign-in, schools can collect details, set entry terms for parents, contractors, volunteers, and other visitor types, and flag possible matches against the most recent national sex offender database available. The system can also flag non-custodial parents without pickup permission and people on campus watch lists. Repeat visitors may use digital IDs or mobile-wallet passes, QuickPins, QR codes, barcodes, RFID, or HID/NFC cards; group sign-in and sign-out are supported. Schools can send pre-registration links, print approved visitor badges, and prepare credentials for events. Student attendance can use QR codes, barcodes, RFID tags, or the SchoolPass app, with tardy and early-dismissal slips and pickup validation rules. Staff can search sign-in history, while districts can report compliance and set rules for flagged visitors. Emergency views show who is on campus and where they were last seen. Deployment requires an iPad and internet connection. Pricing is on request.
