GuardChek

What GuardChek is

GuardChek is security guard management software for coordinating schedules, patrols, safety checks, incident records, payroll and client access. Its schedule tools let managers assign shifts by drag and drop, broadcast open work by push notification or SMS, and handle shift swaps and vacation requests. Guards clock in and out through geofence checks, with selfie identity photos stored by the service. Guard Tour combines QR codes and GPS checkpoints, with reminders and alarms when a checkpoint is missed.

The platform also provides an SOS button, heartbeat monitoring and alerts when an app or location goes offline. Guards can submit incident, arrest and ban reports with time-stamped photos; those records can be searched by site, incident type or guard. Verified work hours can feed automatic payroll and client invoices. A client portal gives each client access to schedules, reports, invoices and coverage requests. GuardChek runs on web, Android and iOS, and its guard app can continue operating without a phone signal before syncing once coverage returns. Guards use their own iPhone or Android phone with QR checkpoints. GuardChek says each customer receives a separate database and private copy.

Who it suits

GuardChek suits security operators coordinating guard schedules, patrol activity, incident records and payroll in one platform. It may also suit teams that need client logins for schedules, reports, invoices and coverage requests.

Limits

Starter covers up to 25 guards. It includes scheduling, GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out, incident reports, SOS, payroll, iOS and Android apps, a private secure copy and email support; QR and GPS guard tours are listed with Growth rather than Starter.

Verdict

GuardChek is suited to security operators who need scheduling, verified patrols, incident reporting and payroll together. Its client portal and offline-capable guard app add options for client access and field use. Look elsewhere if you need a free plan or a plan below its annual starting price.
