 "ID Flow has simplified the deployment and management of 3,000 ID cards. We have 5 schools and we are able to put a workspace in each school and train each school, but maintain a centralized database and a centralized method of printing."

About Whiteville City School District
North Carolina's Whiteville City School District includes 5 schools from elementary to high school levels. Since the 1940's, the district has grown to over 500 hundred employees responsible for the education of 2,600 students.
Challenge
Whiteville City Schools needed added security throughout the district. Each school had its own system for identifying employees and no identification for students. This led to a situation where the only real means of identification came to recognition.
With a limited budget, Whiteville needed a means to centrally print and manage identification of all schools without having to invest in a printer at each school.
Solution
After trying several other ID card software options, ID Flow was the only software to meet Whiteville's needs without major modifications. The live database connection saves time by allowing the school to use the student's school picture without importing each individually. They were able to create a directory pulling photos from different sources.
The multiple barcoding options have allowed Whiteville to utilize the student badges for lunch purchases and to check out library books.
ID Flow's conditional layering capability allows Whiteville to create customized badges for each student and staff member, including color-coding by simply interfacing with the state's central database.
Finally, ID Flow was the only software to immediately work correctly with the card printer, saving productivity and time.
Benefits
- Ease of use
- Flexibility with data
- Increased security
- Short learning curve
In Summary
"ID Flow has allowed us to implement a uniformed, yet flexible identification system for our school district. After trying other identification software, ID Flow was the best to meet out needs and provide a safer environment for our students and employees," says Mr. Martin.
