Period-wise.
Biometric.
Notified before the second bell.
Daily, period-wise, or by-event. Manual, RFID, biometric, face, or QR. Whatever your school is comfortable with. Parents know in real time. Teachers don't lose a minute.
aCloud Attendance handles every method of marking student and staff presence — manual register, RFID tap, biometric, face recognition, or QR — with automatic parent notification on absence and direct integration with payroll for staff.
Everything Attendance needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Every feature below is included in the core module — not an add-on, not "coming soon", not "talk to your account manager".
Daily & Period-Wise Modes
Mark once at morning assembly, or every period — whichever your school policy mandates. Switch by class or grade.
Biometric Integration
Mantra, eSSL, Realtime, Suprema, ZKTeco devices supported. Auto-sync. No CSV uploads.
RFID Card / Band
Tap in, tap out. Boarding-and-alighting on school bus also captured by the same card.
Face Recognition
Optional camera-based attendance for higher classes. Cuts queues. Cuts proxies.
QR Self Check-in
For exam halls, sports events, field trips — students scan a class QR with their app.
Auto Parent Alert on Absence
SMS + WhatsApp + app push if a student is marked absent. Configurable cut-off time. Stops 'I sent him to school' calls.
Staff Attendance + Payroll Link
Teacher and non-teaching staff biometric attendance feeds payroll directly. Late marks, half-days, OT all calculated automatically.
Leave Management
Student leave applications, staff CL/SL/EL/maternity/CCL with multi-level approval. Balances visible to all.
Geo-Fenced Mobile Marking
Teachers on field trips, sports meets, or remote classes can mark attendance from app — only within geofence.
Attendance Analytics
Below-75% flagging, chronic absentee identification, term-wise trends, board-mandated minimum compliance dashboards.
Three things your school won't sweat anymore.
A Class 8 student doesn't reach school by 8:00 AM
Parent gets an SMS at 8:05. They call the school knowing why. School isn't blamed for not noticing.
A senior teacher takes unplanned leave
Substitution kicks in, attendance to payroll deducts a half-day, leave balance updates — without anyone running to the office.
Pre-board exam attendance compliance audit
Every student's attendance percentage per subject is one click away. Letters to chronic absentees generated in bulk.
Attendance — questions answered.
aCloud integrates with Mantra, eSSL, Realtime, Suprema, ZKTeco and other major biometric brands used in Indian schools. Most devices push attendance to aCloud over LAN in real time, with offline buffer for power/network failure.
Yes. If a student is marked absent and no prior leave application exists, aCloud sends an SMS and WhatsApp message to the registered parent number within minutes — typically before the first period ends — to the DLT-compliant template the trust has approved.
Yes. Staff biometric attendance flows directly into the payroll module. Late marks, half-days, leave without pay, and overtime are calculated using the policy you configure, with no manual re-entry.
Yes. Schools that need period-wise attendance (typical for secondary and senior secondary) can switch from daily to period mode per class. Teachers mark in under 30 seconds via the teacher app.
