Directors see what is really taught, administrators stop fighting spreadsheets, teachers see their hours and pay, and students know where their next class is.
Directors
Coverage per course, class and teacher in one report, so decisions are based on hours delivered, not hours planned.
Administration and HR
Timetables that can’t overlap, attendance that fills itself in, and payslips that are ready when the period closes.
Teachers
One touch on the terminal shows the next class, the hours already worked and an estimate of the next pay.
Students
Notifications tell students about their scheduled classes and any change, so fewer hours are lost to confusion.
Universities, secondary schools and primary schools each get a setup that matches how they organize teaching, timetables and pay.
Faculties, campuses, permanent staff and part-time lecturers: HAWA records every lecture on a biometric terminal, deducts it from the course volume and turns verified hours into payslips.
See the solution: UniversitiesDozens of teachers, subjects and classrooms every day: HAWA makes sure each class starts on time, each timetable is free of overlaps and each teacher is paid for the hours taught.
See the solution: Secondary schoolsA fingerprint in the morning, a fingerprint in the afternoon: HAWA gives primary school directors a clear view of teacher punctuality and turns attendance into payslips without extra paperwork.

Getting started · Beginner
The admin panel, the wall terminal app and how they work together.
Getting started · Beginner
The order to follow: structure, courses, teachers, timetables, terminals.
Terminals and enrolment · Beginner
Capture good-quality fingerprints the first time.
Six modules share one database, so a fingerprint at 07:58 updates the timetable, the course balance and the payslip without anyone typing it twice.
Teachers badge in and out on wall-mounted Android terminals. HAWA matches every badge to the class that was scheduled.
Check-in and check-out by fingerprint
Every arrival and departure is recorded on the terminal and matched to the teacher’s scheduled class, room and time slot.
Grace periods you control
Set how many minutes of lateness are tolerated so a short delay is not counted against a teacher.
Self-service on the wall terminal
After badging, teachers see the hours they’ve worked, their upcoming classes and what their next pay will look like.
Place teachers, classes and rooms on the timetable. HAWA refuses any slot where two of them would collide.
Conflict-free scheduling
Assign courses to classes, teachers and classrooms. HAWA blocks any overlap between teachers, classes or rooms before it happens.
Academic year rollover
Move to a new academic year in a few clicks, keep your teachers and settings, and change only what’s different.
Know exactly how much of each session and each course was really taught, and spot missing hours before they are paid.
Session coverage in percent
For a 4-hour session, arriving and leaving on time gives 100%. Otherwise HAWA shows the exact share of the session covered.
Course volume tracking
For a 40-hour course, every session taught is deducted from the total so you always know what’s delivered and what’s left.
Reversible actions
Fraudulent or accidental entries can be reversed, with a history of what changed and who changed it.
Payslips are generated from hours actually taught multiplied by the right rate for the course, level and semester.
Automatic payslips
HAWA multiplies the hours actually taught by the teacher’s rate and generates ready-to-print payslips.
Beyond teachers, HAWA tracks non-teaching staff and student attendance class by class, on the same terminals and in the same reports.
Non-teaching staff attendance
Administrative, library, accounting, reception and support staff badge on the same terminals. Track arrivals, departures and hours, with the same grace periods and reports as teachers.
Student attendance, class by class
Record which students attended each session, by fingerprint, card or class list. HAWA links every check-in to the scheduled class, room and teacher, and computes an attendance rate per student and per class.
Teachers and students are reminded of their classes, and told straight away when something changes.
Teacher class reminders
Teachers are notified about their scheduled classes, so nobody walks into the wrong room at the wrong time.
Student schedule notifications
Students receive notifications about their scheduled classes and any change to them.
Buildings, classrooms, school structure, users, HR history and every report the office needs, all in one admin panel.
Reports for every question
Print reports on badge events, late arrivals, early departures, coverage and hours, by teacher, class, course or period.
HAWA works with several authentication methods, so every campus gets the right balance of speed, comfort and security.
The surest way to stop badging for a colleague: a fingerprint can’t be lent or shared.
A quick tap of a badge, for staff who can’t use fingerprints or as a second check.
Contactless and fast, ideal for busy entrances in the morning.
On compatible terminals, add iris or palm vein recognition, or require two methods for sensitive roles.
Most schools go from installation to their first automatic payslips within one pay period.
Add buildings, classrooms, levels, classes and courses, or import them from your current lists.
Create teacher profiles with their rates, then enroll each fingerprint on the wall terminal.
Place courses in classes and rooms. HAWA stops any overlap as you go.
Teachers badge in and out. Coverage, reports and payslips follow automatically.

Sample reports with fictional data, shown for illustration.
The same terminals that clock your teachers also record which students attended each session — with an attendance rate per student and per class, and same-day alerts to families.
Students check in the way that suits your school — biometric, RFID card, or the teacher marking the class list on screen.
When a student is absent, parents can be notified automatically by SMS, WhatsApp or email — so nothing slips through.
Every check-in is linked to the scheduled class, room and teacher, giving you clear rates and printable class registers.
Biometric check-in means a student can’t sign in for an absent friend — attendance records you can trust.
Sample class register with fictional data.
At the classroom terminal or on the teacher’s device, in seconds, at the start of each session.
Each presence is tied to the class, room and teacher from the timetable, automatically.
Class registers, per-student rates, and automatic absence notifications to families.
Admin, library, accounting, reception, security and support staff badge on the same terminals — tracking arrivals, departures and hours, with the same reports and payroll, and no extra hardware.
Sample staff sheet with fictional data.
Administrators, librarians, accountants, reception, security and support staff — all on the same terminals as your teachers.
Accurate clock-in and clock-out with grace periods, so you know exactly who was present and for how long.
The same coverage reports and payslips you get for teachers, broken down by person, role or department.
Staff attendance runs on the terminals you already have for teachers — nothing more to buy or install.

We used to discover missing hours at the end of the semester. Now I see course coverage every morning and fix problems the same week.
Payslips took three of us four days. With HAWA they are generated from real hours and checked in an afternoon.
The overlap check alone was worth it. Two rooms booked for the same class simply can’t happen anymore.
Teachers check their hours on the terminal before payday, so disputes have almost disappeared.
Rolling over to the new academic year took a morning instead of a month. Our teachers and rates were already there.
A 40-hour course now shows exactly how many hours are left. Our department heads plan catch-up sessions before exams, not after.
When a terminal was damaged during works, we recorded sign-ins from the admin panel and lost nothing.
Setup was straightforward, and having both interfaces in French and English mattered for our staff.
