The Attendance Tracking Burden
Paper registers filling up binders, with illegible handwriting and missing signatures
Compliance audits become nightmares, with hours spent deciphering logs and reconstructing records
Staff manually transferring paper data to Excel for ECCE reporting
5-10 hours wasted every month on data entry, with constant risk of transcription errors
No real-time visibility into who is in the building right now
Safety concerns, difficulty managing ratios, and panicked headcounts during emergencies
Parents forgetting to sign children in/out, creating compliance gaps
Staff chasing signatures after the fact, incomplete records, and Pobal audit anxiety

Attendance Tracking Questions Answered
How does the parent kiosk work?
Parents arrive, select their child from a photo grid, and tap check-in or check-out. The kiosk can record attendance offline once configured (syncs when online), requires no login, and auto-clears after 5 seconds for privacy. It is perfect for busy drop-offs.
Can staff override or correct attendance mistakes?
Yes. Staff with the right permissions can adjust check-in/out times, add missing sessions, or resolve conflicts. Every change is logged in the audit trail with a reason note.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The kiosk continues to work offline using local storage. When connectivity returns, all offline check-ins sync automatically to the server. Keep devices configured and reconnect regularly so queued records can sync.
How do I export attendance for Pobal or inspections?
Navigate to the attendance dashboard, select a date range, and click Export. Choose PDF (for printable registers) or CSV (for Pobal upload). The export includes all required fields and timestamps.
Can I track staff attendance too?
Yes. Staff can check-in/out via the same kiosk or dashboard. This helps you manage ratios, track staff hours for payroll, and maintain compliance with staff-to-child ratios.
