MIS, Payment & Access Control Integrations
idXtra systems connect to the MIS, payment providers and hardware your school or college already uses. Data flows dynamically in both directions, so registers, balances and permissions stay in sync without manual imports.
School MIS Integrations
Direct integrations with the leading UK school and college MIS platforms, with Technical Partner status held with several suppliers. Student, staff and timetable data syncs automatically and attendance marks write back in real time.
Capita SIMS
The most widely used MIS in UK schools. idXtra systems pull student, staff and timetable data from SIMS and write attendance marks back to the register in real time.
Bromcom
Full integration with Bromcom's cloud MIS for schools and MATs. Visitor management, catering and attendance all stay in sync with your Bromcom data.
Wonde
Our Wonde integration connects idXtra systems securely to dozens of MIS platforms used across UK schools and colleges, including Arbor and iSAMS. If your MIS works with Wonde, it works with us.
ProSolution
Deep integration with ProSolution for FE colleges, including real-time attendance write-back to support funding compliance and retention reporting.
Unit-e
Established integration with Unit-e for colleges, syncing learner records and timetables and returning attendance data automatically.
Active Directory & HR
Provision users dynamically from Active Directory or any HR database alongside your MIS, so staff accounts and permissions stay current across every system.
Online Payment Integrations
Parents top up cashless catering accounts from any device through the payment platform your school already uses, and bank cards work directly at the till.
ParentPay
Online top-ups flow straight into EventPOS balances, with low balance reminders and full purchase history for parents.
WisePay
Full WisePay integration for catering top-ups and school payments, synced automatically with student accounts.
WPM Education
WPM online payments connect to EventPOS so balances update as soon as parents or students pay online.
WorldPay
Contactless and chip-and-pin bank card payments at the till through WorldPay PDQ terminals linked to the EPOS.
Access Control & Biometric Hardware
We supply, install and integrate the leading access control brands, so the same smart card or biometric that opens doors also signs visitors in and pays at the canteen.
Paxton
Net2 networked access control, one of the most widely installed platforms in UK schools and colleges.
SALTO
Wireless, battery-powered locks that need no cabling to each door. Ideal for older buildings and phased rollouts.
ACT
Highly reliable networked door entry, from single-door units to multi-site installations with alarm integration.
Assa Abloy
Aperio wireless locks and a comprehensive hardware portfolio for new builds and retrofit projects.
Suprema
Fingerprint and face recognition readers for high-security or card-free access, catering and attendance.
GuardPoint 10
Unified management of access control, alarms, video surveillance and licence plate recognition in one console.
How Our Integrations Work
One integrated platform sits between your MIS, your payment providers and your hardware, keeping everything in sync automatically.
Two-Way, Real-Time Data
Timetables and student records flow in; attendance marks, transactions and sign-ins flow back. No CSV exports, no start-of-year re-imports.
One Identity Everywhere
A single smart card or biometric works across doors, visitor sign-in, canteen and printing, driven by the same synchronised database.
Built and Supported by Us
Our own engineers build, install and support every integration. If your MIS or payment provider is not listed, ask us; custom integrations are our speciality.
