Why Choose a Mobile Access Control and Attendance Tracking App?

Traditional methods of managing access and tracking attendance often involve cumbersome, expensive hardware and can be time-consuming to set up, especially in locations without existing infrastructure. CodeREADr’s mobile access control and attendance tracking app eliminates these hurdles by utilizing the technology already in our pockets—smartphones and tablets.

With our app, businesses can efficiently control access and monitor attendance using the devices most people already carry. Learn more about device requirements for CodeREADr here. By simply scanning new or existing IDs (such as those of employees, visitors, subcontractors, patrons, etc.), access is granted or denied based on the validity of the ID. Additionally, the app records timestamps for every entry and exit, ensuring detailed and accurate attendance data.

Key Features of the Barcode Scanning App

Secure Access Control Mode

In this mode, an administrator at the entrance uses a smartphone to scan attendees’ IDs. The app immediately displays the status of the ID—valid, invalid, or a duplicate—allowing the administrator to make quick, secure decisions about entry.

Access Control Status

Kiosk Attendance Tracking Mode

Alternatively, in kiosk mode, a tablet is set up at entry points for attendees to self-scan their ID cards. This mode is suitable for environments where minimal supervision is required, relying on trust and efficiency.

Supported Technologies: ID Capture

The app supports various ID capture methods, including the built-in camera for barcode scanning and alternatives like RFID and NFC tag reading. This flexibility ensures that the app can be adapted to a wide range of scenarios and ID types.
