Overview

SignIn computer software is an efficient and effective system to process customer information as they are entering and exiting a room. It provides comprehensive reports on how many customers were recorded, what the subject of the visit was, and where they did their work. Given a time and date you would be able to report who used a particular computer, and what other computers this person used in your area.

This system speeds up the entering of the lab without a need to write data down on customary paper sheets. You can verify a picture ID and use a unique number, like SCC, student #, library #, or phone number as a primary identifier. Data about this customer will show on your screen to match the picture ID. You do not have to retype first and last name and other information repeatedly.

SignIn can be used with a keyboard but it is compatible with any bar code reader or magnetic strip reader. In this case the "user error" of misspelling of the unique identifier is eliminated. You can use driver licenses with bar codes, library cards, or student IDs.

The reports will allow you to analyze the activity and needs of your organization.
