WAKI Attendance digitizes the moment every parent waits for confirming their child arrived safely. Students check in via face recognition, wristband, or QR scan; teachers see a live class roster, and parents get an instant push notification the moment their child enters.
Built for Saudi schools, top to bottom.
Attendance is one of multiple core WAKI products designed to work on its own or alongside the rest of the platform. Every detail, from token support to settlement timing, is calibrated for how Saudi schools actually run.
