Technology Innovation
RapIDcard Pro has been in use for nearly 25 years helping hundreds of customers produce high quality Photo IDs using the latest technology. Our commercial version, called RapIDcard IDMS, has been powering hundreds of university and K12 campus one-card Photo ID programs in the US. Campus ID managers use IDMS as the dashboard to manage not only their student database, but also their real-time connections to their access control, library, food, and other campus software. IDMS remains as the most powerful, yet most convenient to use package for adding a valid VISA, MC, AMEX card number from a single bank, or multiple banks. Its bulletproof security feature insures that no duplicates are printed, which is a nightmare for banking related applications.
Pocketracker Red/Green is the latest in mobile functionality with additional capability to muster students for emergencies and grant loyalty points or a declining balance for special events. Using barcode, mag, or a contactless scanner, Pocketracker can instantly and positively identify ID cardholders, provide group count including individual’s name, ID number, and time of entry, AND pass the audit information to a an event report, accounting program, or to a time and attendance program. Because of the Pocketracker Gateway, connectivity is maximized to most popular existing ID card or access control databases.
We have recently added a new product to our K12 Tracking system line, with the brand new cloud-based PerfectPass which handles behavior management. Any school policy can be custom entered, modified easily and strictly enforced. By displaying the student photo quickly, a positive ID insures that no student gets away with using another student’s ID. Bus number, medical information, and other custom information can display instantly. Check a student schedule and if they are not where they are supposed to be, instantly print a warning or even a detention.
