What is GuardsPro?

GuardsPro is a cloud-based security guard management platform for private patrol and physical security companies. It combines a back-office dashboard, a guard mobile app and web portal, and a client web portal and mobile app. Together they cover scheduling, time tracking, reporting, live GPS tracking and dispatch in one system.

The company describes itself as the first SaaS-based security guard management platform and says a private patrol company of any size can sign up and start using it in 5 minutes. Its stated aim is to replace paper-based information gathering and keep guards, managers and clients working from the same data.

How does GuardsPro work?

Back-office staff work in a web dashboard where they create client and post site profiles, build schedules, assign tasks and review reports. Guards use the mobile app on iOS or Android, or a web portal, to check in and out, submit reports, run site tours and read post orders from their own phones.

Data flows back in real time. The dashboard shows a live activity feed, GPS location and notifications when guards confirm shifts, clock in or out, or submit reports. Clients get a separate portal and app with access to reports, tracking history, schedules and post orders. The FAQ also says each guard has a unique QR code that is scanned at check-in and check-out.

Key features of GuardsPro

For accountability, GuardsPro offers live tracking, a full-day tracking history, geofences that alert managers to violations, idle alerts and a panic button for emergencies. Site tours use tour tags and GPS so patrols on client sites can be checked against a schedule. Guards can also share passdown logs and read post orders and company policies in the app.

On the administrative side, the scheduler supports shift templates, open shifts, shift status, shift exchange and time-off requests, while the time clock feeds timesheets and hours-by-report filters. Reporting includes daily activity reports, incident reports and custom templates, with up to 25 report types. A dispatcher, messenger, invoicer, estimates, visitor manager and 2-step authentication for back-office users round out the set.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • One system covers scheduling, time clock, GPS tracking, dispatch, reporting and invoicing, so a patrol firm may need fewer separate tools.
  • Per-user pricing is published, from $5 to $10 per user per month, with a 30-day free trial.
  • Clients get their own web portal and mobile app with access to reports, schedules and tracking history.
  • Guard apps run on iOS and Android and can be used on guards' existing phones, so no new hardware is required.
  • No long-term contracts, and the FAQ says there are no caps on clients, post sites or guards.
  • Geofence alerts, idle alerts, a panic button and site tours support guard accountability.

Cons

  • Pricing details conflict: the pricing page lists plans from $5 per user, while the FAQ says pricing starts at $10 per guard.
  • Geofence, GPS history and messenger need the Advanced plan, and site tours, tasks, checklists and payroll exports need Professional.
  • Plans start at 3 users, which may not suit a one-person operation.
  • The sources name only four payroll integrations and no public API or other third-party connections.
