QR-Coded Digital ID Cards: Generating and printing secure student IDs directly from the CodePex Campus ERP.
Say goodbye to manual typing, plastic card expenses, and security risks. Here's how to generate, print, and manage QR-coded student IDs in minutes—directly from your ERP.
❌ The Manual ID Card Struggle
Time Wasted
Staff spends 2-3 days typing names, formatting cards, fixing errors.
Money Lost
Professional printing: ₹35-50 per card. For 500 students, that's ₹17,500-25,000 yearly.
Security Risk
No QR codes, no validation. Anyone with a similar-looking card could enter.

💬 Admin's Story
"Every year, I dreaded ID card season. 450 students, 3 days of typing, constant spelling mistakes, and ₹18,000 spent on professional printing. Now? I set up the template once. When students enroll, their cards are ready instantly. I print them on perforated sheets—50 cards in 10 minutes. The QR codes have transformed our attendance system too. Teachers just scan and go. No more roll calls, no more errors. Best feature in the entire ERP."
