BioStore

The platform centres on a product called IDENTITY, which acts as a central database for storing user credentials including biometric templates, PINs, and card data. This single identity record can then be used across multiple school systems, including cashless catering tills, library self-service kiosks, secure print release stations, and door access control points.

The system supports finger scanning technology that converts fingerprint data into encrypted numerical templates rather than storing actual fingerprint images, and it also accommodates contactless cards, fobs, and PIN-based authentication. BioStore integrates with management information systems and third-party applications used in schools, colleges, and universities, allowing pupil and staff data to be synchronised across platforms.

The software includes parent-facing components for topping up catering accounts and viewing transaction histories, alongside administrative tools for managing user enrolment, generating reports, and configuring system permissions. The product is used by primary schools, secondary schools, and further education providers across the United Kingdom, typically deployed alongside catering hardware, library systems, and print management infrastructure supplied by partner companies.
