Organizers can choose on-demand or distributed check-in, verify badge details, or offer Fast Track Check-in. Branding, fields, badge rules, and badge designs can be customized for attendee types. Session tools cover access management, attendance monitoring, capacity updates, education credits, and participation control. Metrics show check-in timing and location, badge-printing activity, and attendees who remain unchecked in. Listed capabilities include badge scanning, QR or barcode support, attendee data import, offline capture, lead qualification, lead enrichment, CRM synchronization, CSV or spreadsheet exports, push notifications, interactive maps, sponsor features, and messaging. Customers may use their own equipment or rent hardware through vendors; hardware purchasing should begin at least 12 weeks before an event. The Apple app requires iOS or iPadOS 16.
