“Attendance”- an unavoidable part of any class or lecture.
As significant as attendance is, it consumes a lot of class time and doesn’t contribute toward student progress.
The crucial class-time can be saved with VMS student attendance system, which is an automated solution to not only mark attendance but also to find out meaningful patterns in order to monitor student performance around key metrics and contribute towards student security.
VMS Online Attendance Management System helps school/colleges to use computerized systems, instead of old-fashioned manual processes. All attendance related work is done on paper i.e., the whole session attendance is stored in the register and at the end of the session, the reports are generated. It makes the daily attendance a very weary task for the faculties.
The objective of the school attendance software is to reduce the time that is consumed when attendance is taken manually. Unlike the manual process, an online system easily helps management to analyse student’s attendance details as per requirement. It helps to maintain the accurate record and generate summarized student attendance reports for the students by applying various criteria.
A detailed summary of student attendance history can be obtained in an instant.
In today's competitive world, with increasing working hours and less classroom time, teachers need Ed Tech tools which help them manage precious class time efficiently. Instead of focusing on teaching, faculty members are often stuck with completing formal duties, for e.g. taking daily student attendance.
Manually taking attendance and registering it in files ; musters makes the daily attendance a mundane task for the faculty and unnecessarily consumes classroom time.
To overcome such inefficient work processes, there are various school software systems available to speed up the attendance process and reduce manual work. An online attendance management system or digital attendance platform is one of them, which is developed to automate the daily attendance in schools. Additionally, it helps to maintain accurate child records and generate summarized student attendance reports.
Requires little to no effort from the teacher, which means a reduced workload on the teacher. All that the students have to punch-in or flash the RFID card in front of the device, RFID attendance. Whereas attendance marked with an app merely requires 60 seconds from the teacher.
No paperwork, no manual attendance, and no wastage of time lead to reduced hassle and enables the already overburdened teacher to concentrate more on teaching.
Attendance is directly linked with student success; a good attendance improves student outcomes as it keeps them in loop with the curriculum. We have experienced an increase in student attendance when parents are involved in the attendance lifecycle.
With an automated attendance management system, parents can be directly looped in the student learning journey, as the student attendance can be conveyed via mobile app or SMS. This not only ensures security but also reminds parents to be in constant touch, thus improving student learning outcomes.
A school, college or university can save up to thousands of rupees monthly by automating student attendance. If a teacher has 7 lectures a day and requires 10 minutes to mark attendance for each lecture then nearly 70 minutes are consumed in marking attendance. If there are 50 teachers in the institution then each day 58 hours are required for the mundane task of marking attendance.
The 58 hours can easily be reduced to 1 hour, and the considerable amount of teacher's time saved can be utilized towards improving student outcomes.
Since the attendance is automated, you can be sure that the data is accurate and error-free. Once the attendance is marked, the captured data gets stored in the student attendance management system, from where anyone having the rights can view the attendance details. This feature is especially useful while locating a particular student or while analysing trends.
Student attendance records are required by compliance ; accreditation agencies such as The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) , which can be tedious simplifies ; streamlines everything.
The attendance data captured by the app, RFID device is stored in the VMS Attendance Management System, which ensures zero data manipulation as it provides role-based access. The data stored in the ERP, it is protected by multiple layers of security along with strong encryption, making it immune to a data security breach and potential threats.
Furthermore, you can trigger automated SMS, email or app notifications to parents or guardians, informing them about the presence or absence of their ward. Notifying parents ensures that all the stakeholders are well informed and aware of the student’s whereabouts.
The capability to analyse
student performance using attendance data is, perhaps, the most significant
reason why you need an attendance monitoring system.
The educational ERP provides you with BI (Business Information)tools in the form of
dashboards. The dashboards give you accurate graphical data about anything and
everything, instantly.
Using the attendance data dashboard, you can determine the attendance trends of your institution, a particular class, a specific subject or even a particular student. Consider tracking attendance of a class of students for a period of one month. You can see the graph and instantly identify if the attendance is increasing, decreasing or is almost the same.
Based on the results of the analysis, you can make timely decisions, and even check whether the corrective measures are effective or not. This enables you to constantly monitor student performance and improve student outcomes.
Moreover, if these reports are to be compiled manually, then nearly 80 man hours are required which includes mapping the attendance of hundreds of students with classes and subjects along with teachers. Whereas with the student attendance management system, several reports according to the user-specific fields can be generated in only 10 minutes.
#7. Attendance tracking app is also helpful in monitoring employee, teacher shifts, synchronizing, and planning the workflow. It also helps to allocate resources.

Being the most trust-worthy Educational ERP providers in the market from the past two decades and still maintaining the trust make – VMS Attendance Software is the highly recommended software by ERP experts.
VMS School Mobile Apps not just provide seamless communication between parents and teachers but can also help in managing student attendance because of the following three major reasons.
Child safety, in today’s times, is one of the most essential and basic rights that we can give our children. However, with the extent of crime rate against children that is afflicting our country and our world, this basic right is being denied to them. Did you know that almost one lakh children go missing every year when they are travelling to or from school? Some of these children are kidnapped for ransom but most of them end up in illegal trades.
It has thus become a matter of critical importance that our children stay safe when fulfilling their right to education. And the burden of each student’s safety lies heavily upon the educational institutions they belong to, be they schools or colleges. Guaranteeing the safety of its students not only brings peace of mind to the school management and student’s parents, it also builds the institution’s goodwill in the market. When people know that a particular school is proactively concerned about the safety of its students, more parents are willing to enrol their children into that institution.
This is the line of thought that governs VMS RFID Smart Attendance System. At the outset, our attendance systems are devices that automatically mark student attendance. As an advanced feature, the attendance record of the student is also sent to his or her parents, using a notification/SMS. Parents can thus be assured of their wards’ safety, knowing that they have reached school safely. Many renowned schools have already incorporated this system into their way of life. And we hope you will adopt this healthy safety practice into your educational system too.
