## What is OnSite by GroupEd?

Walk into reception and you're signed in!

OnSite by GroupEd is the staff sign-in and evacuation app for schools that take both seriously.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Your phone notices your school's reception kiosk and signs you in automatically — even with the screen locked in your pocket. Tap-to-sign-in still works for the moments auto-detect hasn't caught you. Whichever way you sign in, your location is verified against your school's actual site, so the on-site list is always trustworthy.

LIVE DASHBOARD FOR ADMINS
See exactly who's on site, across every group — visitors, staff, governors, late pupils, contractors. Search by name, vehicle registration, or company. Updates in the background so the count stays current without anyone refreshing.

EVACUATION, READY FOR THE REAL DAY
Start an evacuation in one tap from any screen. Roll-call works group-by-group, marking each person safe. End the evacuation cleanly when everyone is accounted for. Built for the moments you hope never come.

YOUR BADGE, IN APPLE WALLET
Add your staff QR badge to Apple Wallet with one tap. Hold your phone up to the kiosk camera to sign in or out — no need to open the OnSite app first.

SECURE BY DEFAULT
Face ID or Touch ID locks the app with a grace period you control. Your school's roll-call data stays protected without nagging you on every glance.
