Attendance

Attendance management software for schools

Take the register in under a minute per class, tell the parent the same morning, and let the month's attendance flow straight into payroll — student and staff attendance in one system.

Most schools already mark attendance. The gap is what happens next: the register sits in a copy, the parent finds out at the next PTM, and at month end someone counts working days by hand for salaries.

NEXUS ERP closes that loop. The teacher on duty marks the class from the phone or the office computer, an absent child's parent is messaged automatically, and every staff punch feeds the payroll run at month end.

What you get

📋

Class register on any device

Mark present, absent or late for a class and section, from a phone or the office computer. The day's register saves into the monthly record, so the year's attendance percentage is always ready.

🔒

Only the right teacher can mark

Each class has a duty list and an approver list. A class teacher marks their own section; a school clerk can be given the whole school. Nobody else can touch the register.

📲

Absence alerts to parents, automatically

When a child is marked absent, the parent is messaged the same morning — app notification and SMS. Exception-only, so parents are not spammed daily and your message cost stays low.

📝

Leave applications from parents

Parents and students apply for leave in the app, with advance notice shown separately. Your office approves or rejects from the ERP, and the register reflects it.

🤳

Staff attendance by selfie and GPS

Teachers punch in from their own Android phone with a selfie and location — no biometric machine to buy, repair or queue at. If you already have a machine, we can work with it.

📍

Honest location on duty

If an employee turns location off during duty hours, officers are alerted at once, and the offline period is recorded and reconciled rather than silently lost.

🙋

Missed punch and corrections

Forgot to punch? The staff member raises a missed-punch or regularisation request from the app and an approver clears it — with a record of who approved what.

🧾

Month end, without the counting

Monthly staff attendance flows into the payroll run for loss of pay, and class-wise reports show present, absent, late and attendance percentage for any month.

SMS goes out through your school's own DLT-registered sender ID, as TRAI rules require, and message charges are billed by your SMS provider. In-app notifications are included.

How it runs, day to day

  1. 1

    We load your classes and students

    Classes, sections and the student list come in from your existing Excel sheet during onboarding. You do not type them in again.

  2. 2

    You decide who marks what

    Set the duty and approval list per class — usually the class teacher, plus a clerk for the whole school.

  3. 3

    Teachers mark, parents hear

    The register takes under a minute a class. Absence messages go out the same morning, without anyone pressing send.

  4. 4

    Month end runs itself

    Attendance percentage per class is a report, not a counting exercise, and staff attendance is already sitting in payroll.

Pay for what you use

Take attendance on its own.

You do not have to buy the whole system to fix one thing. Run attendance by itself, and add fees, payroll, academics or transport whenever your school is ready — same system, same data, nothing to migrate later. What you pay depends on the modules you switch on and how many students you have, so we quote it on the call once we know what you actually need.

Questions schools ask

Do we need a biometric machine?

No. Staff mark attendance from the Android phone they already own, with a selfie and GPS location. If your school already has a biometric machine, tell us and we will work with it.

Do parents get a message every day?

Only when something needs their attention — an absence, a fee due, a bus boarding. A daily 'present' message would cost you money and stop being read by week two.

Can two teachers mark the same class?

You choose. Each class has a list of people allowed to mark it and a list allowed to approve. Most schools keep one class teacher plus an office clerk who can cover.

What if a teacher's phone has no network?

The staff app records the punch on the phone and uploads it when the connection returns, keeping the real punch time. The class register needs internet at the time of marking.

Can we correct attendance for a past date?

Yes. Corrections go through the approver — a regularisation for staff, or the approver for a class register — so every change has a name against it.

Does attendance connect to salary?

Yes. The month's staff attendance feeds the payroll run for loss of pay, so you are not reconciling two systems at month end.
