“It’s great to see the reaction of staff when they use CAT and realise how simple it is to record their attendance – just by scanning a class QR code. Our administrators love it because there is no more manual data entry and spreadsheets to deal with, doing away with all the headaches that come with paper registers!”

Anthony Dowding
Head of Training Resources and Development, Barts Health NHS Trust, UK
“Fantastic and easy to use! I needed a contactless solution for taking attendance at our small private school when students arrive and leave. We were able to easily purpose CAT to accomplish this and signing in/out of school for teachers and students has never been easier or quicker. Even beyond COVID, we will continue to use this system.”

C. LeAnn Elder
Head of School, Score Academy Florida, USA
“Having Class Attendance Tracker (CAT) QR has now revolutionised the way our GP registrars (trainees) register their attendance at our teaching sessions, and this would have been an impossible task with our switch to virtual teaching! CAT has made what was previously a clunky administrative process into a simple, streamlined one.”

Dr Ravi Seyan
Programme Director, St Helier GP Vocational Training Scheme (GPVTS), UK
"Since the launch of the CAT, our process for recording and reporting attendances has improved immensely. We can easily keep track of our staff and students who can see their CAT attendance record in real-time on our learning portal, it is simple yet elegant. Customer support is excellent and enhancements are implemented quickly."
