What Attendances is
Attendances is a cloud-based attendance system for schools, colleges, and institutions, available on Android and the web. It records attendance with AI face recognition, QR-code ID cards, or biometric devices. The system can match uploaded photos without a separate enrolment session, and the site says scans take roughly 200–300 milliseconds and support more than 60 people per minute. Schools can set class-wise automatic absence rules and receive daily lists of students who missed check-in or check-out. Reports can be filtered by device, student, class, or date and exported to PDF or Excel. Parents may receive School eDiary push notifications when students are marked in or out; SMS is available at extra charge. Photo settings vary: Lite shares no images, Regular shares the scan image, and Premium captures a live photo at each scan. If internet access drops at a gate, scans queue on the device, while parent notifications wait for the connection to return. Packages include selected parent-app and ERP modules. Pricing is by school-specific quote, and a trial account can use a school's own data.
