How Does it Work?

Staff and students scan their ID card against card readers situated in strategic areas of the school. Students will typically use their card to swipe in for both session and lesson registration. As the student presents their card to the reader, an attendance mark (AM, PM and/or lesson) is populated against their record in the EasyTrace backend database - Infinity - and in the associated school MIS system.

From the point where the mark is recorded in the MIS, normal management of attendance resumes i.e. manipulation of data, recording reasons for lateness and absenteeism.

Card-based system

Using a card-based system, the card is used as the unique identifier (ie, the mechanism for identifying the user and accessing their records from the backend database - Infinity

Card design is bespoke to meet your specific needs. You may select any colours, logos and images to use. Often the image of the cardholder and school logo form part of the design. Enrolment number is also often included to simplify administration and identification. Integration with local transport companies and other community facilities (public libraries, leisure centres etc) may also be an option.
