Why Implement a Biometric Attendance System for Schools?

Manual registers are prone to proxies, calculation errors, and lost time. A Biometric Attendance System for Schools eliminates these issues by using unique biological traits (fingerprint/face) to mark presence. For schools, this means 100% accurate teacher payroll calculation and ensuring student safety by tracking exactly when a child enters or leaves the campus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of a biometric attendance system for schools?

Pricing depends on the device type (Fingerprint vs Face ID) and user capacity. SchoolDeck is compatible with standard market devices like eSSL, helping you save significantly on hardware costs compared to proprietary locked devices.

Do we need internet connectivity at the physical gate?

Most modern devices push data instantly via Wi-Fi/LAN. However, if the internet goes down, the device has internal memory to store thousands of punch logs locally. It syncs automatically to the SchoolDeck cloud once connectivity is restored.

Can it handle multiple shifts or "Morning/Day" schools?

Yes. You can configure multiple shift timings within the ERP. The system dynamically evaluates the raw punch data against the specific shift assigned to that staff member or student to calculate late marks accurately.
