This app only supports Felica transit cards. Do you want to check-in your event participants with their transit IC card (like Suica)? Do you want your employees to check-in quickly? You can register your event participants / employees' transit IC card with the application. Then, you will be able to scan the card to record a check-in. You can also view the recorded check-in events by dates, or by scanning a transit IC card. Notice: For important events, you should manually verify the participant's identity by asking for an identity document. It's not safe to only rely on the scanned ID of the transit card.
