QR Attendance System

Ever wanted to streamline your attendance system by assigning unique QR codes to each member so they can simply scan and walk in? Allowing you to focus more on capturing and connecting with newcomers rather than manual check-ins. With OC Pulse, you can do exactly that. Use any device with a camera—whether it’s a webcam, smartphone, laptop, or even a tablet—to scan a member’s QR code and have their attendance instantly recorded in real time. Everything updates immediately, giving you accurate live data without delay or manual admin. It’s simple, fast, and reliable, designed to reduce friction at the door and increase focus on people. Setup is flexible with both bulk QR code generation for entire groups and individual user-specific codes. You can easily print, download, or distribute codes digitally depending on your setup. This system ensures smooth entry flow, reduces admin load, and helps you keep your attention where it matters most—on people, connection, and discipleship.
