The Problem
Attendance was previously recorded on paper and later manually re-entered into Excel to calculate attendance rates. This duplicated effort for trainers and increased the risk of data entry errors. There was no structured validation against official student records, no verification of physical presence, and no centralized dashboard to monitor attendance performance. Calculating attendance rates required manual formulas and spreadsheet management, consuming administrative time each week.
Manual attendance processes created double handling, human error, and zero visibility — all problems that a simple digital system could solve.
