The Challenge
The ITCHII Information Center registered student entries by hand, writing down data such as name, major, and gender. This made the process slow, hard to consult, and limited the institution’s ability to understand how the space was being used.
Key Problems Identified:
- Handwritten student entry records.
- Slow registration during busy hours.
- Difficult access to previous records.
- Limited visibility into usage by major and gender.
