    Student Mode/ Parent Mode
    • Student / Parent should be able to see the online attendance management system

    Challenges of online attendance management system

    • After our 2 successful implementations we were mostly in control of how the app would work and the rollout process. However, there were some UI fixes and a new charting capability which was required to help make the reporting section of the app more user-friendly. We had a charting 3rd party component already implemented which did not suffice the requirement from the client side 

    • A new custom charting component was implemented to deliver as per client’s requirement.
    • Making the app work similar for the existing deployed solution in other groups as well.
    • We deployed the same build with the new features rolled out for other Pioneer Group companies using the same app.
