- Guards view assigned shifts from anywhere and get custom reminders
- Post available shifts and let teammates swap
- Stay inside local rest and break rules as you schedule
Time clock
Time on the clock, accurate to the minute.

- GPS geofencing verifies teammates are on site when they clock in
- See who is on time, who is late, and who no-call no-shows
- Use what you find to optimize next week
Communication
Every guard engaged and alert.

Credentials on file
Attach licenses, certifications, contracts, and records right to a teammate's profile so you can see who is certified for what. Alerts arrive before a document expires, so compliance never slips by accident.
