School Attendance Management System

Mark attendance by class or from a phone, let parents know within minutes when a child is absent, and have monthly percentages ready without anyone counting a register.

Students & staff

Attendance parents hear about the same morning

Paper registers are filled in every morning and totalled by nobody until the end of term. By then a child's attendance problem is months old, and the parent hears about it for the first time at a meeting.

With School Smart ERP, teachers mark attendance for their class on a computer or a phone in a minute. Parents can be sent an SMS the same morning, the office sees absentees across the school at once, and monthly summaries and percentages are calculated automatically. Staff attendance flows straight into payroll.

How it works

Attendance in four steps

Mark

By class on a computer or from a phone — or automatically from a biometric device.

Alert

Absent at 10, the parent knows at 10:05 — SMS alerts send themselves.

Track

Daily absentees, monthly summaries and percentages for every student.

Pay

Staff attendance feeds payroll, so absences are deducted automatically.
