Administrative teams often face overwhelming workloads, particularly during exam periods, enrolment cycles, or graduation seasons. Bee automates time-consuming processes while ensuring accuracy and compliance.

- Attendance & Reporting: Bee automates attendance recording for live and virtual classes, notifies students of absences, and flags attendance issues to staff. It can also assist with regulatory reporting and compliance for monitored courses.
Faculty and Internal Support
Bee isn’t just for students—it’s also a powerful tool for supporting teaching staff and operations teams.

With rising mental health concerns among students, Bee plays a role in providing early intervention and wellbeing support.
