## What is Beenest?

Beenest is a live operational record for childcare centers. It answers two questions all day: **who is here right now**, and **what happened today** with a timestamped trail you can export.

**Brand (US / EN):** Beenest
**Sister brand (DE):** Bienenstock, Bienenstock-Kita (https://bienenstock-kita.de)

**Beenest is NOT enrollment or billing software.** It does not manage contracts, waitlists, tuition, or curriculum. It complements systems like Procare, Brightwheel, Lillio, HiMama, and Kangarootime by adding entrance check-in, live presence, and exportable daily records.

## Audiences

- **Center director** – live headcount, daily record, calmer entrance, insurance-ready exports
- **Multi-site operator** – group view, per-site reports, one login (demo on marketing site)
- **Front desk / staff** – less paper, fewer end-of-day reconstructions
- **Parents** – same mobile app as Bienenstock (iOS / Android), status and check-out help

## Three-part system

1. **Entrance tablet**
   - Check-in and check-out at the door
   - Timestamps every transition automatically
   - Tablet included with plan; ships ready to use

2. **Operations dashboard**
   - Live presence by room
   - Staff and children on site now
   - Staffing / occupancy forecast (7-day view in product UI)
   - Daily, weekly, and monthly exports (PDF / spreadsheet)

3. **Parent app (shared with Bienenstock)**
   - iOS: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/bienenstock-f%C3%BCr-eltern/id6760794380
   - Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bienenstock.customer
   - Setup guide (DE): https://bienenstock-kita.de/eltern-guide
   - Center status, messages, digital check-out support

## What Beenest covers (five areas on the website)

1. Automatic attendance records
2. Insurance and risk documentation
3. Staffing and coverage planning
4. Live presence and safety
5. Parent communication

## Typical day

2. Director sees live roster on dashboard
3. Parent uses app for updates or check-out help
4. End of day → export daily record in one click
5. After an incident or audit → searchable timestamped history
