NextEdgeStudent attendance software with parent alerts and biometric support
Attendance should take a minute, not a period. Teachers mark it on a phone, parents hear about absences the same day, and biometric machines can mark it for you.
What you can do
- Open a class, press All present, then mark only the absent students and save
- Parents are told when their child is absent
- Spot students below 75% attendance in your alerts
- Let parents apply for leave in the app, and approve it in one tap
- Scan the QR code on a student's ID card at the gate with a USB or Bluetooth scanner (or type the roll number). The parent gets a "reached the school" message at once
- Connect biometric machines that push attendance (ZKTeco style): register the machine by its serial number and give every student and staff member an ID on it
- Staff can check in from their phone inside a GPS boundary you set
- See absentees, leave requests and attendance trends on the Today page

Common questions
Can we scan ID cards at the gate?
Yes. Use a USB or Bluetooth QR scanner, or type the roll number. The student is marked arrived and the parent is told at once.
Which biometric machines work?
Machines that use the ZKTeco-style push method (ADMS). You register the machine by serial number and enrol each person under an ID.
Can teachers mark attendance on a phone?
Yes, in the app or in a phone browser.
Are parents told when a child is absent?
Yes, by app, and by WhatsApp or SMS if you have connected them.
Can we track staff attendance?
Yes. Staff check in from their phone inside a GPS boundary, or by biometric machine.
