Schoolhouse Software Selects M2SYS Fingerprint Software to Provide Integrated Biometric Identification System for School Lunch Line POS

Schoolhouse Software, a Leading School Services Software Provider to Increase Lunch Line Efficiencies and Enhance Student Experience with Cutting-Edge Fingerprint Recognition Module



Atlanta, January 4, 2007 – Schoolhouse Software, Inc. a leader in the development of software that manages K-12 school food service operations announced today it has formed a strategic partnership with M2SYS Technology, the industry leader in fingerprint identity management. This partnership will benefit school customers by enabling Schoolhouse to integrate M2SYS' market revolutionizing fingerprint software technology and flagship product, Bio-Plugin, within our Touch-n-Serv K-12 school lunch line POS solution.  The partnership will add fingerprint authentication to the Schoolhouse product to speed waiting time though lunch lines, eliminate the problems and cost associated with school ID cards and lunch tickets, improve record keeping, and prevent human error.

“With M2SYS, we were able to quickly integrate enterprise-level fingerprint functionality into our software without facing the tribulations associated with in-house development,” stated Robert Levine, CEO of Schoolhouse Software.  “Dealing with a fingerprint SDK is a time consuming and often daunting process that we were able to circumvent thanks to M2SYS’ innovative fingerprint software.  M2SYS also provided unparalleled deployment and technical support enabling us to rapidly integrate the fingerprint module and quickly bring the finished system to market.” 

Bio-Plugin™ enables software companies to quickly integrate a complete, seamless fingerprint recognition system, including a high-performance 1:N identification engine.  Bio-Plugin™ eliminates the system dependencies, extensive development, and specialized knowledge of biometric complexities inherent to fingerprint SDKs.

“As the industry pioneer of rapid fingerprint software integration and deployment, M2SYS continues to accelerate the growth of biometrics in the private sector with its innovative Bio-Plugin™ technology,” commented Michael Trader, President of M2SYS.  “Schoolhouse Software was able to adopt a tried and tested fingerprint recognition module that is not tied to a particular algorithm or hardware device, which greatly mitigates their risk.  Now, their school customers can quickly move students through the lunch line, which not only improves profitability, but also gives students a more pleasurable lunchroom experience.”
