Using RiteTrack 4 with Scanners, Card Readers, and Signature Pads oh my!

Posted by: Joe Nevshemal on 4/28/2010

RiteTrack 4 has allowed for even more flexibility in how you interact with your software solution.  Also, hardware like bar code scanners, RFI tags, signature pads, web cameras, or magnetic card readers, are becoming more and more affordable and easier to use. Combining the two can bring your tribe or organization a lot of return on investment.  There are many examples of using these hardware tools in conjunction with identification cards to make your processes quicker and more efficient.

For example, in the past large, bulky cameras were required to create identification cards, but with camera technology advancing very quickly, high resolution and yet affordable web cameras are becoming a reality. You can utilize these kinds of web cameras to get photographs into your RiteTrack 4 system, and still maintain a quality picture for any uses, including an identification card.

Signature pads are also another great time saver, and can be used to put a member’s signature into your RiteTrack 4 system to be used on their identification card as well. These extra layers of security make your identification cards more unique and more importantly, more difficult to replicate. But these two products just help create identification cards, once you have them, you can do some even more amazing things.

Your identification cards can have a bar code or magnetic stripe on it which stores your member’s information. Your member can bring the card in and swipe it to automatically bring them up in your RiteTrack 4 system. No need to search, just have them provide their identification card and all their information is at your case worker’s finger tips. If you are a tribe that does voting, identification cards coupled with a scanner or card reader can be an easy way to track who voted and who did not. Utilizing identification cards can make the voting process easy to set up and track those individuals who have voted. 

 Further, if you wished, your members could use their own identification card to cast their vote. By scanning their card, and then inputting their vote, you can take the guess work and time out of vote tallying, as well as guarantee everyone has voted once. What is the best is RiteTrack 4 has the security to guarantee privacy so those votes can only be reviewed during an audit process and cannot be changed.

If you do time logging for part-time help, providing them with an identification card which they use to clock in and out each day can give you their payroll at a click of the button. And since RiteTrack 4 can do this easily enough, there is no need to purchase a whole other system to do your time logging. It is all done through your unified system.

As the hardware develops and new interface tools come into the market, RiteTrack 4 is continually evolving and evaluating these kinds of interfaces to make our solution even easier for you to use. Have questions about using a piece of hardware with a RiteTrack 4 system? Please contact us and we will see how that piece of hardware can be leveraged in a RIteTrack 4 system to save you time and money.

"So here's my technology user-interface challenge/revelation: Once I figured out that I could toggle the resistance level on the exercise bike at the UW gym with buttons on the end of the hand-grip, my work out was a lot better. The bike has more prominent arrows on the panel that initially, I would let go of the grip and hit the arrows--this action caused the heart rate monitor to shut off, and it would take an annoyingly long time for the heart rate to come back up. I must've used this machine fifty times or more before I figured it out--I only figured it out because I used an exercise machine with a more intuitive interface at the community rec center, compelling me to look for the EZ toggle buttons on the machine at the UW gym.
