The Problem with Paper Sign-in Sheets

Paper sheets get lost, coffee spills on them, and students sign attendance for absent roommates ("proxy attendance"). When clubs request funding from the university dean, vague paper registers often result in denied budgets.

The Value of Verified Digital Audit Logs With digital gate check-in: - Every attendance record carries an immutable timestamp. - The volunteer scanner ID is recorded. - Clubs export clean CSV and PDF reports with one click, providing university faculty with audit-grade proof of event footfall.
