Fingerprint payments and biometric registration included in state-of-the-art solution. Derry/Londonderry’s new college integrates new technology into systems for staff, students and parents.
Foyle College in Derry/Londonderry will be a stunning new Northern Ireland flagship for BioStore’s biometric technology. Delivered in partnership with Capita Managed IT Solutions and C2K, BioStore has integrated biometric technology into the heart of the college’s systems to make life easier for staff, students and parents.
Biometric systems will underpin the electronic registration system and drive a cashless catering solution that will enable students to order food in advance, make payments and manage their accounts with a simple scan of their fingerprint.
Using BioStore’s ID Manager solution, staff will be able to monitor attendance and registration, accurately account for all students on site in any emergency, and deliver a simple to use and efficient cashless catering system.
Each morning, using BioStore’s FasTrak cashless catering system, students will be able to pre-order sandwiches or lunch to pick up and go from the dining hub. A fingerprint scan will be all that is required to place, collect and pay for an order.
Capita’s quick and convenient SIMS Agora online payment system will underpin the financial transactions. Parents will be able to top-up accounts online in order to pay for school meals, special trips and other equipment. Capita’s secure system eliminates the need for cash or cheques to be collected on site.
“Working with BioStore and Capita has been a fantastic experience. We’ve had the benefit of calling on expertise from two companies at the cutting edge of education technology who have shown themselves to be great problem solvers who understand the needs of the school.
