Attender is officially Live Finally is Attender version 1.0 and Attenders website live! We have however cheated a little bit, since Attender was already up and running at the first school. We thought it would be better to launch Attender when we knew it was in use and working well.
The fastest snail Everything is much easier when it feels like a game and not a boring chore. That is why we wanted Attender to feel more like a game.So we made a development collaboration with gaming experts, Setsnail. Setsnail has many years of experience with gamification, games and helping large companies like Google, Ikea, DHL and more. Our collaboration has gone so well, that Setsnail is now part owner of Attender.
Chosen as Microsoft Startup Microsoft really likes the Attender idea, so they have chosen us to be part of their Microsoft for Startups program. This gives us a lot of help with development, security and hosting. Thanks to Microsoft for their support.
Attender is its own company We started making Attender in our Aros Cloud company. But to make the message of Attender easier, it now has its own company.
Interns as reinforcements In january 2021 we welcomed to interns, Marc & Mikkel as part of our collaboration with EA Dania gaming academy. We thank them for their help and inputs to Attender.
Danish innovation fund picks Attender! Attender was chosen by the danish innovation fund, Innobooster. This means they have seen great potential for Attender not only in Denmark but Worldwide. That makes us a little bit proud…
Research among many school types We have talked to all kinds of schools. From primary school and all the way up to universities to know more of their pains regarding attendance registration. And we have used our international network as well. We showcases a preview version at a early conference for danish schools in Fynen. That gaves us valuable feedback.
The Attender idea starts After 20+ years of making solutions for education and schools. We found that there was a need for a new and smarter system for attendance registration. As many of today systems are old fashioned, slow and honestly – really boring. And we wanted to use modern tech like gamification, AI and online solutions. The Attender idea really took off in March 2020 when most of the world got hit by Covid-19. This meant a lot of learning went online and there was an even greater need for a flexible attendance registration solution.
