Membership management for church, fitness clubs/gym
The need to replace manual membership management
Running an efficient and secure membership-based organization like a church, synagogue, or mosque is nearly impossible without the use of advanced technology. Pen and paper membership management techniques have become entirely too cumbersome and inefficient. On top of that, the possibility of security breaches has left membership-based organizations searching for a safe and effective method to handle the management of sensitive member information.
Biometric technology has recently proven to be the most effective and affordable solution for the safe and orderly management of member information. Faith-based organizations are quickly becoming aware of the value of fingerprint recognition. A fingerprint system such as M2SYS’ Bio-SnapON™ can easily interface into your existing management software, providing instant fingerprint scanning capabilities, eliminating the need for passwords, barcode readers, and identification cards.

Overview
To replace the manual input mechanism with fingerprint identification:
Step2: After the user has been enrolled, he/she simply scans a single fingerprint to be identified.
Step3: After a user’s fingerprint is scanned, the Bio-SnapON engine matches the print and sends the associated credential to the host software. The host software then performs the appropriate action, such as clocking the user in or out.
Features
Pop-Up notification window
Administrators have the option of showing a pop-up window above the system tray after each fingerprint scan. If this option is enabled, a message will appear indicating whether or not the user was successfully identified.
Visual feedback mechanism
When new users are enrolled into the system, a dialog box shows the actual fingerprint image. An image quality scale also provides feedback to ensure that high quality data is being fed into the fingerprint software. The visual feedback mechanism can also be displayed during subsequent fingerprint identification attempts, or it can be kept hidden.
Comprehensive administrative console
Administrators can configure the Bio-SnapON system settings through an intuitive console. Bio-SnapON offers a full-featured set of administrative controls allowing for capabilities such as: LAN/WAN configuration, multi-scan enrollment/identification, choice of three interface protocols, identification log, advanced keyboard settings, appearance customization, and security.
Multi-application communication (SSO Lite)
Unlike competing products, Bio-SnapON allows you to store multiple ID credentials and application configurations under a single fingerprint template and user account. This means that users can enroll different passwords, PINs, etc. under a single fingerprint, but associate them to individual applications.

Benefits of biometrics
With BioSnapON™, church staff can easily:
- Identify members at check-in, instantly retrieving their picture and information from the management software.
- Protect the safety of children by accurately identifying guardians.
- Ensure that individuals are not fraudulently accessing church facilities.
- Completely replace ID cards, which eradicates costs incurred due to lost or stolen cards.
Customer success
“We asked our database vendor to look into adding a fingerprint component to our existing system, and I’m so glad we did! What has impressed us most is the speed. We added Bio-SnapON in no time, and now we use it to register 400-600 youth for services three times a week in a matter of minutes when it used to take much longer.”
