Biometric Attendance

Attendance capture using fingerprint, RFID or face-recognition hardware instead of manual registers.

Biometric attendance systems use fingerprint scanners, RFID cards or face-recognition cameras to record a student's or staff member's presence automatically at entry points, feeding directly into the ERP's attendance module. This removes both the administrative burden of manual registers and the delay in notifying parents of an absence.
