Does captive portal keeps a database of users?

I just started working in a company that have a free wireless network. Everyone who has a laptop or a mobile phone should be able to connect without a fee. We don't ask for any authentication.
Our cisco wireless controller writes a list of users that are connected on our APs every 5 seconds, but it keeps no permanent record in any database... My job is to get that statistic. I used to write those data into database by hand but it takes me too much time and it is humiliating...
I want to find an answer that will automatically keep statistic .
Is there a captive portal that keeps the MAC addresses of people that connect on our wireless Internet in some database?
Please help!
