In their own words
GatePass
GatePass is a school gate attendance and parent-notification system for managing student entry and related school routines. A QR scan confirms a student’s entry, records attendance, and notifies a parent in under two seconds. If the network drops, scanning continues; scan times are retained and parent notifications wait until reconnection. The system also supports registers, emergency roll-call, trips, boarding, visitor management, and fees. Visitors can pre-book, check in by QR at the gate, notify their host, and receive a digital pass. Parents, staff, gatekeepers, and visitors use the same app, while admins and headteachers manage the school in a web dashboard. GatePass says schools can begin with an existing phone and printed QR cards, without a server or special hardware. All plans include unlimited scans, QR ID cards, reports, visitor management, audit trail, API access, and priority support. A full-featured free trial covers one full term at zero cost, with no card or commitment. Paid term plans start at 150,000 UGX, paid once for up to 499 students. The download page lists Android and iOS versions as coming soon.
