Our products

  • Digital Attendance Monitoring

    Digital attendance makes it easy for schools to monitor daily attendance of their students.

    Using real-time data, attendance is tracked and reported back to teachers who can utilise this data to identify low-attendance students and support the student and their family to ensure their attendance increases.

    This low-cost but highly effective tool, uses smartcards which are presented to a digital tablet to record school attendance. Loved by students, they have affectionally nick-named this daily highlight as "sQuidding".

  • Payment Processing

    We are proud of the work we do with our NGO partners to deliver scalable solutions to displaced communities.

    Our work has taken us to Somalia with Save the Children and Chad with the International Rescue Committee, providing digital financial assistance to ensure recipients have money to pay for food, drink, clothes and transport fares to medical centres.

    “Thanks to sQuid’s digital technology, the International Rescue Committee reached the most vulnerable internally displaced people in Chad’s Lake province by providing dignified humanitarian assistance in a very complex rural environment.”
