Case Study: Merthyr Tydfil College improves attendance and payments with Synel Edureg

Merthyr Tydfil College - Customer Case Study

Merthyr Tydfil College, a further education institution in Wales, required a system to automate student registration for accurate attendance tracking and a full payment solution for its campus facilities. The challenge included managing this installation concurrently with a major construction project at the college. The college selected Synel through a tender process to address these needs with their Edu-Reg suite.

Synel implemented its integrated Edu-Reg system, which provided automated student registration and a cashless payment system using student ID cards. The solution included specialized hardware like attendance terminals, sales point tills, and cash loaders. As a result, the college saved valuable teaching time, reduced administrative costs, and provided an accurate account of student attendance. According to the Head of Student Records, Synel's system also encouraged students to take responsibility and helped fight truancy.
