The Core of DRAIS

Attendance That
Closes Every Gap

Fingerprint-powered, device-integrated, cloud-connected attendance tracking that gives you real-time control over every student and teacher in your school.

How It Works

From Finger Scan to Parent Notification

The entire process takes seconds. No manual input. No human error. Complete automation.

STEP 1

Student Scans

Student places their finger on the biometric device at the school entrance. Identification takes under 2 seconds.

STEP 2

System Logs

DRAIS instantly records the arrival with an exact timestamp. Late arrivals are automatically detected and flagged.

STEP 3

Admin Sees

The attendance dashboard updates in real time. School administrators see who is present, late, or absent — live.

STEP 4

Parent Informed

Parents receive an SMS instantly confirming their child has arrived safely. Absence alerts are sent automatically.
