SSICA is ideal for schools and universities, allowing them the opportunity to scan ID cards of students going in and out of campus, detention, after school detention, non-‐dress for PE, event authorization, free and reduce lunch and so many other areas that our app can be used. This program keeps track of students enhancing their safety on campus. This app is a great addition to any program a school may be using (e.g. Zangle, Power School, Aeries, etc.), in fact this program does what these programs can’t. This program can be used in K-‐12 and at university level.
