What EduAttendance is
EduAttendance is school attendance software built in Pakistan for local schools, with English and Urdu interfaces. Schools can record daily roll call, period-by-period registers, and gate check-ins or check-outs, configuring attendance by section. It supports ZKTeco fingerprint, card, and face terminals, with live punches sent using the iClock protocol. Schools can alert guardians by WhatsApp or SMS in either language, once per child per day per channel. Reports include monthly sheets, class summaries, absentee and below-threshold lists, and register audits. A free Android app for parents and teachers comes with every plan; parents see only their own children’s records, while teachers see their sections. The PHP and MySQL application can run on the provider’s cloud or a school’s own server. Schools can import student lists from CSV, with each row previewed and checked before saving. The maker offers a 30-day trial with the full system, student import, and the school’s WhatsApp number connected. Pricing is on request. Messaging gateway charges and optional reader costs are billed separately at cost.
