School administration
At twenty past eight, do you have an answer to three questions: who arrived, who is missing, and where everyone is if something happens.
Administration pageKeep your turnstile. We evaluate the signal it produces.
TurniGate does not sell hardware. It takes the access signal your existing turnstile already produces and derives who is in the building now, who is missing and where everyone is during an emergency.
The turnstile, the panel and the reader stay where they are — and so does the company that installed them.
Three measured facts
Four
reader protocol families are defined
Five
panel families have a connector path
Target: under a second
from the event at the gate to the row on screen
The latency figure is a target, not a measured average; we give you the value measured in your own installation in writing. The protocol and connector counts are what is defined today.
How the signal travels from the gate to the screen
The person badges in and walks through; the panel already records it. We take that record through one of three paths and turn it into a single canonical event.
- Event push: the panel sends the event to us.
- Scheduled pull: we poll the panel at a fixed interval.
- Vendor interface: we read through the panel's own interface.
Who is in the building right now
Not how many people entered by the end of the day — who is inside at this minute. Students, staff, visitors and contractors sit in one list.
- Green band: occupancy is comfortably below capacity.
- Amber band: capacity is close, a queue is forming at the gate.
- Red band: capacity is exceeded, entry is restricted.
- Arrived, not yet arrived and late are three separate lists.
- Occupancy per zone: floor, block, canteen, yard.
- Staff and visitors can be filtered out of the student count.
- If a device goes silent the number is not hidden; the last known state is shown with an age counter.
The roster freezes the second the alarm sounds
In an evacuation it is the roster itself that causes the argument. The moment an incident opens, presence is frozen; movement after that is kept separately and the two never mix.
- Safe, injured and missing marks reach the incident commander instantly.
- For a missing person the last gate and time is a required field; when there is no data it says no signal.
- At the assembly point people report themselves safe by scanning a code.
- Drills run through the same flow and their duration is recorded as evidence.
The teacher does not fill the list from scratch, they correct the difference
The signal from the gate pre-fills attendance. Every row carries its source: signal, teacher, manual entry or bulk import.
- Period-level attendance next to day-level attendance.
- Late, left early and absent are three separate lists.
- Who corrected it and when stays under the row.
The parent is not a notification target, they are a decision maker
Entry and exit notifications are the starting point. The things a parent starts themselves live in the same place.
- Entry, exit, late arrival and absence notifications.
- Digital permission and early leave requests: the parent opens, the school decides.
- The parent changes the dismissal plan themselves, without involving staff.
- Someone else is collecting my child today: authorised pickup and verification at the gate.
Whoever has an appointment passes the turnstile
The appointment book and the gate decision stop being two separate worlds; the security screen shows who is expected that day.
- The parent requests, the school decides, the result lands at the gate.
- A third party who is not the legal guardian cannot enter for a meeting.
- For contractor entry, document expiry dates are tracked.
Biometrics is this product's refusal
With decision 2026/921 dated 29 April 2026 the Turkish data protection board banned processing biometric data for access and working-time tracking. We treat that as a founding boundary of the product, not a compliance item.
Start without replacing your hardware
If you know your panel brand and reader protocol we answer with a measurement. If you do not, there is still a path — and we do not guess.

It takes the access signal your existing turnstile produces and derives a live presence list, occupancy, a draft attendance sheet, parent notifications and an emergency roster from it. The turnstile, panel and reader stay where they are.
No. Your existing turnstile and its panel stay in place; the product evaluates the signal they produce.
No — and it is not offered as an option either. With decision 2026/921 dated 29 April 2026 the board banned processing biometric data for access and working-time tracking.
No. Records collect in a queue, are corrected on screen, the user presses prepare and a batch is produced; a staff member enters it into the official system themselves and then marks the declaration.
The moment an incident opens, presence is frozen; movement after that is kept separately and the two lists are never merged.
From the mobile app and the browser they do the same things: notifications, permission requests, the dismissal plan and the handover report.
Where shall we start
All three paths lead to the same place: seeing together what can actually be measured at your gate.
