WHO WE ARE

Built to solve real problems in Nigerian universities

Attenova was born out of frustration with how campus life is still managed in most universities — paper attendance sheets, roll calls that eat into lecture time, hostel bed-checks done on clipboards, permission slips passed by hand, and a proxy attendance problem that nobody had a real solution for.

We built one platform that covers all of it. Students check in to class with GPS and face verification in under 30 seconds. Hostel managers run bed-checks and see who's in and who's out in real time. Chapel and campus events get the same attendance tracking as lectures. Permission requests move from paper to a dashboard everyone can see. Lecturers, hostel managers, and administrators each get a live view of exactly what they're responsible for.

  • Zero upfront cost or infrastructure needed from universities.
  • Runs on a standard Android smartphone — no special hardware required.
  • One system for class attendance, hostel management, chapel/events, and permissions.

Our mission: make every class count.

We believe consistent attendance is the foundation of quality education. Attenova gives institutions the tools to enforce it fairly, automatically, and transparently — without burdening lecturers or students.

Google Maps API

GPS coordinates are verified server-side using the Haversine formula. Outdoor accuracy is 5–10 metres; indoor accuracy is 10–50 metres depending on building structure.

Cloud Infrastructure

Hosted on AWS/Google Cloud with auto-scaling during peak hours (8–10 AM). Handles 5,000+ concurrent users with 99.9% uptime and daily automated backups.

Security & Privacy

All data is SSL/TLS encrypted in transit. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed. Student data is stored securely and never shared with third parties.

BUILT FOR CAMPUS LIFE

Designed around real problems lecturers and students face

For Lecturers

No more losing the first ten minutes of every class to a roll call. Display a session code, and attendance is captured while you set up your slides.

For Administrators

Every check-in is GPS- and face-verified, so proxy attendance is caught at the point of marking — not discovered weeks later. School-wide analytics cover classes, chapel, and hostels in one dashboard.

For Students

Check your attendance percentage for every course, request permissions, and see your hostel history — all from one app, at any time.

For Hostel Managers

Run bed-checks from a phone instead of a clipboard, keep a live room roster, and see attendance history for every student in the hostel.

Common questions about Attenova

Cost to universities — ever

No. Even if a student has the session code, they must be physically within the GPS radius set by the lecturer (typically 50–200 metres around the classroom). If their GPS coordinates don't match, the system rejects the attempt.

Attenova is an Android app, launching soon on Google Play, that uses the phone's GPS and camera for location and face verification, so a smartphone will be needed to check in. A student without one will still be able to mark attendance by briefly borrowing a phone — check-in isn't tied to owning a specific device, just to being signed into your own account on it.

Typically 3 weeks. Week 1 covers account setup and database import. Week 2 is training — for lecturers, students, and admins. Week 3 the system goes live with on-site support available.

No. Class attendance is where it started, but the same platform now covers hostel bed-checks, chapel and event attendance, and student permission requests — with dedicated dashboards for hostel managers alongside students, lecturers, and admins.
