Expo Logic’s interactive mobile session scanning app, TrackPod, is an easy to use and accurate solution for tracking attendance at sessions of all sizes. TrackPod uses the camera on your device to scan attendee badges as they enter and exit sessions. When an attendee’s badge is scanned TrackPod will tell you if they are allowed access to a particular session, how long they have been in a session, and more.
