Frequently asked questions
Can guards see their schedule on their phone?
Yes. Schedules are published to staff instantly, and guards can view shifts, claim open shifts and request swaps from web or mobile.
Can it stop us scheduling a guard whose licence has expired?
Scheduling checks qualifications, and certification tracking records every licence and training with its expiry date and sends reminders before it lapses.
How do timesheets work?
Guards log hours against their shifts, overtime and break rules apply automatically, and managers approve with one click before hours go to payroll.
Can we manage more than one client site?
Yes. The built-in CRM keeps each client’s company and contact records linked to scheduling, timesheets and billing, and guards can log time against the client they worked for.
