Quorum Notification is Set-up

The idChamp® NF4X is compatible with a variety of badges eliminating the hassle of switching badge types. It is a user-friendly smart card reader that ensures a quick and efficient check-in process. For badges with barcodes, the Scanfob® PX20 barcode scanner is the ideal tool. 

Finally, as participants continue to check in, a quorum notification is automatically sent once the quorum condition is met. This includes immediate quorum notices sent directly to iOS and Android devices, as well as an SMS/Text message, ensuring everyone is promptly informed.
