Attendances is a cloud-based attendance system for schools, colleges and other institutions, available on Android and the web. It records attendance using AI face recognition, QR-code ID cards or biometric devices. Uploaded photos can be matched for face attendance without a separate enrolment session, and the site says scans take roughly 200–300 milliseconds and support over 60 people per minute. Schools can set class-wise automatic absence rules and receive a daily list 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 a student is marked in or out; SMS costs extra. Photo options range from sharing no images to sharing scan images or capturing live photos at every scan. Packages include selected parent-app and ERP modules. If internet access drops at a gate, scans queue on the device, but notifications wait until it returns. A trial account can be set up with a school’s own information; pricing is by school-specific quote.
