What Visitu is
Visitu is a school operations platform combining visitor management, emergency alerts, school messaging, and student attendance tools. Its visitor workflow can collect guest details, scan identification, capture photos, print badges, and check visitor information against offender databases. Schools can offer pre-registration and kiosk check-in, while staff view a real-time dashboard, watch lists, logs, and reports. Designated employees can receive arrival notices by email, SMS, or push notification. Attendance features record absences, tardies, and dismissals, support parent self-reporting, and can write attendance data into a school SIS. Listed integrations include PowerSchool, Blackbaud, ProgressBook, FACTS, Clever Secure Sync, and Veracross. Visitu runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Its kiosk iOS application supports only Apple iPad tablets. Pricing is provided on request, and the site directs prospects to schedule a demo.
