Hey Steve, We use Nexudus as our member management system and it works wonders.
Originally we used a cheap RFID scanner and cards to check in members. Long story short you match enter the card details on the members profile, and then when the RFID scanner is swiped, it types in the unique ID for that member. We grabbed an old laptop donated to us, hid this behind a panel on the wall, then put the RFID scanner below a monitor with the Check in screen on it so people could see the checkins of that day. We had to hack a little to get rid of admin info on that page so that sensitive data wasn't shown. The issue we had was that whenever our internet would drop (we did have some connectivity issues at the time) as it is browser based, the browser would then go to a disconnected screen which meant that the check in system would be down until someone would boot up the laptop and get refresh the page. This was a pain in the ass. We now just use Nexudus's app on an iPad, and assign a 4 digit pin of the members choice! Handy thing is that we don't have that drop out issue with an ipad app. Hope that helps a little.
