For ADEK schools and nurseries · Abu Dhabi · ADGPG supplier 206940
Nobody wants a visitor system.
You want no trouble at inspection, a shorter queue at two o'clock, staff who have stopped copying names into a book, and the certainty that a child only ever leaves with the right adult. ezSchool is those four things, on a kit that stays in your building and keeps working when the internet does not.
After the demo
What schools said the first time they saw it.
Forty-one schools and nurseries have seen ezSchool at their own gate. All forty-one said it takes the manual work off the gate.
“This is amazing. It will solve the queue at our events: parents tap, and they are in.”
“This is great. It will solve many of our problems and make the receptionist's life easier.”
“It reads the ID card, and it's fast.”
“We don't have to remember each child's allergy any more.”
“It reads the phone number too!”
“Cheaper than any other staff-attendance solution.”
“Smart and convenient.”
What they asked for
- Attendance in the classroom. Now included: a tap on the door tag opens the class and each child waves in. The classroom register.
- Allergies per child. Now included: a child waves at the canteen and the screen shows what they must not be given.
- Better time and attendance for staff. Coming: work in progress.
- Further integration with Salama. Coming: work in progress.
What the inspectors wrote
Four sentences from Irtiqa reports. Each one is answered.
Public Irtiqa reports of Abu Dhabi schools rated Good to Outstanding, 2024 to 2026, carry these next steps for the gate:
“Continue to ensure that all visitors entering the school premises have the relevant identification.”
Identity comes off the Emirates ID chip: name, number and the chip's own photograph. No visitor is written in by hand, and none is admitted without a document.
“Reinstating the visitor lanyard system would further enhance security.”
A pass goes out with every registration and comes back at sign-out. The desk always knows who still holds one.
“The level of supervision during dismissal time is not consistently rigorous.”
The handheld goes to the car line and the bus line. Every release is a one-second record, and the office watches the count fall live. Asked how dismissal is supervised, you show a record, not a rota.
“Ensure all visitors receive consistent safeguarding briefings.”
Your safeguarding notice shows on the visitor's screen before the signature line. Every visitor has seen it, and the record says so.
Bring your own report. Twenty minutes at your gate: we read its next steps with you and say which ones are answered on the first day. Book the visit.
Two kinds of trouble
In a school it is two o'clock. In a nursery it is the file.
In a school: dismissal
Dismissal is where inspectors write their remarks, and a duty rota is not an answer. The handheld goes where the children are: the car line, the bus line, the gate. The adult identifies by palm, card or Emirates ID, the children who may leave with them appear by face, and each one waves out. One second a child. Whoever is still inside is on the screen by name.
In a nursery: the pick-up authority file
EEI §1.4 asks a nursery to hold, for every child, a signed pick-up authority form plus the ID and a recent photograph of every person allowed to collect. One tap of each Emirates ID takes the number, the name and the photograph off the chip; the parent signs once on the screen. The file exists the moment the parent leaves the desk, and it stays for two years after the child does.
What arrives
Two of everything, on purpose.
The kit is two front desks and two handheld palm readers. All four hold the same register and any one of them can run the gate alone. The second desk and the second handheld are your spare: if a unit is dropped, stolen or simply dies at 7:50 on a Monday, the gate does not notice.
2 front desks
Two 10-inch stations with the Emirates ID reader. One faces the guard and runs the desk: visitors, collectors, the log. One faces the visitor and shows the notice board, and the confirmation and signature when someone signs in. A single Ethernet cable joins the two, so they sit on whatever counter you have. Either can take over the other's job in a tap.
2 handheld palm readers
Pocket-sized, with the palm vein reader built in, for the parents and children who prefer a hand to a card. The same handheld walks to the bus line, the nursery door and the assembly point.
The cards, and a hub if needed
A pack of visitor cards. The handhelds reach the desks over your WiFi; if the kit may not use it, a small WiFi hub of our own does the job.
Nothing to install
One Ethernet cable between the two desks, nothing into your school network, no account to create. We set it up with you in an afternoon and train the gate staff the same day. If you want the gate live on an office PC, the desks need a route to it; the IT page has the ports.
A school day
A school day in four moments.
07:30
A parent enrols
One tap of the Emirates ID: legal name, photo and ID number go into the child's file. The parent signs on the screen who may collect. Two seconds.
11:02
A visitor arrives
Emirates ID in, badge out. Name, ID, phone, purpose, signature, time in and time out: the seven fields ADEK asks for, captured without a pen.
14:10
A collector picks up
Palm on the reader, or card, or Emirates ID. The guard sees the photo and the children this person may take. One second, and the release is a sealed record.
Alarm
Everyone accounted for
The handheld walks to the assembly point as the live roll call: every child, visitor and collector still inside, ticked off as they stand in front of you.
And on the real kit
Seventeen seconds to sign up, one second to go home.
Every screen, one job at a time: the how-to videos.
Beyond the gate
The same wave of a hand, in three more places.
The school trip
Boarding the bus makes the list, every door after that is counted against it, and nobody is left on the bus.
The classroom register
A tap on the door tag opens the class, each child waves in, late is noted with the minute, and the eSIS file is filled for you.
When the alarm sounds
The roll call walks to the assembly point in someone's hand, and what is left on the screen is exactly who is still inside.
What changes on Monday
Three people, one Monday.
The parent
Before: a lanyard to remember, a form at the gate, a name spelled wrong, a call from school asking who is coming.
Monday: a hand or a card, one second, gone. Nothing to install, nothing to carry, nothing to fill in.
The guard
Before: a binder, a pen, handwriting at 7:50, and the question "is this really the uncle?" with no way to answer it.
Monday: a photo and three big buttons. The screen says who this is and which children may go with them.
You
Before: "who collected Sara today?" is a phone call, the visitor log is a binder, and an inspection is a week of photocopying.
Monday: one glance answers who is inside, one click exports the log, and the inspection file builds itself all year.
How it fits together
One system, from the office to the gate.
A PC in the office, two tablets at the front desk, and a handheld at every gate. Every unit holds the same encrypted register, so the desk keeps working when the office PC is off and the handheld keeps working with no network at all.
Back Office
PC application · Windows · Linux · macOS- News for the front deskPictures and notices that play on the visitor's screen when nobody is signing.
- ADEK eSISFills ADEK's own attendance and roster templates straight from the register, matched on the Emirates ID.
- Import and exportExcel in and out, to and from the school's other applications.
- ReportsWho is in, who is late, whom to call. Visits by week and by reason.
- FindAnyone, visitor, parent, child or employee, with every visit on file.
- ConfigEvery unit on the site set up from one PC: reasons, classes, badges, school days.
Front Desk
Two Android tablets · 10.1-inch · one faces the operator, one faces the visitor- Front DeskVisitor handling from one Emirates ID tap, parent sign-up, Find, Config.
- Lanyards and member cardsHanded out and collected at the desk, each tied to the person holding it.
- Operator practice and school guidelinesOn the desk itself, for a new operator's first morning.
- Signature padThe visitor and the parent see their own details on ten inches of glass and sign there.
- NewsWhen nobody is signing, the pad shows the school's notices.
Mobile Reader
Android handheld · palm vein · NFC · Emirates ID · one per gate, one per handler- Drop-off and pick-upEmirates ID, NFC card or palm. Adult first, then the children who may go with them.
- CalamityThe live roll call walks to the assembly point in someone's hand, on battery.
- TripsA class leaves and returns by the same wave of a hand. Nobody is left on the bus.
- Class registerA tap on the door tag opens the class, and each child waves in. Late is noted with the minute.
- No mode to chooseA child is an arrival, an adult starts a pick-up. The rule is the flow, not a setting.
The adult identifies first. The children on their list appear by face; a child not on the list stays inside, with no override at the gate.
A child carries nothing at all. A palm holds no photograph and no demographics.
How it connects
or a USB stick, air-gapped
in the building
All data encrypted
On every unit, at rest and on the wire. A tablet that is switched off or out of range catches up on its own when it is back.
No external storage
No cloud, no vendor server, no subscription account. The register never leaves the school.
Local only
Works with no internet at all, on the first day and every day after. The office can be air-gapped: settings go out and visits come back on a USB stick.
Proof
Three things you can check yourself.
Watch it read a card
We bring the kit to your gate. Tap your own Emirates ID and time it. Book the visit.
Read the ADEK clause map
Every row cites ADEK's own policy text and names what the device does about it. ADEK does not certify products; the clause map is what an inspector can verify.
Ask who built it
The people who wrote the software are on the company profile by name, and they answer the phone.
Before you ask
The questions every principal asks.
Who do I contract with?
Thaiger Board Solutions L.L.C., Abu Dhabi, trade licence CN-5010084, registered Abu Dhabi Government Procurement (ADGPG) supplier no. 206940. Quotation in AED, paid against your LPO. Trade licence and bank letter are on request.
What happens when a unit breaks?
The other three keep the gate running, because all four hold the same register. We swap the broken unit and the register restores itself to the replacement. Hardware carries a three-year warranty.
Do parents have to give a palm print?
No. Palm vein is optional per person. A parent who declines uses a card or their Emirates ID. A vein pattern is stored only on your own devices, and it carries no photo, gender or ethnicity.
What if an unlisted person comes for a child?
The gate cannot release to them, and that is the point. The Back Office adds a collector in a minute, by a named admin, and that change is itself a sealed record the gate enforces at the very next release.
Is it ADEK approved?
ADEK does not approve products. It publishes policies, and the device is built against their text: the seven-field visitor log, the pick-up authority file with photo and ID, five-year retention, electronic records. The clause map cites each one. What an Irtiqa inspector looks at is the gate itself: ID on entry, passes, dismissal supervision, the briefing visitors get. Those are the four sentences above.
Can we try it for a term first?
Yes. One gate on vouchers, AED 2,000 per 2,000 child-days or visits, with the same kit and the same three-year warranty. Keep it if it earns its place; the register stays yours either way.
Will my guards cope?
The screens use icons, photos and three big buttons. Two hours of training on the day. A guard who can use WhatsApp can run the gate.
What does our IT team need to do?
Nothing, if the gate runs on its own hub. If you want live feedback on an office PC: an RJ45 drop or WiFi access for the desks, a VLAN if you prefer, and a few ports in one direction. We list them with direction on the IT page and talk your network team through it in ten minutes.
Where is my data?
In your building, on your devices, encrypted. Exports to XLSX and PDF whenever you need them. We never hold a copy.
What if ThaigerTech disappears?
The gate keeps working, because it does not depend on us: no server, no licence check, no renewal. Source escrow is available on request.
What do we pay after the first year?
Nothing, unless you want that year's releases. Updates and support are AED 2,000 per site per year, the first year included. Stop paying and you keep every version you have, forever; you only stop receiving new ones. Bug fixes are always free, and fixes that touch a child's safety or your data ship to every school regardless.
The one-gate kit is AED 17,800 once, owned outright, with no subscription. Over the three-year warranty that is AED 16 a day.
