GuardChek / Features / Guard Tour System
NFC checkpoints scanned with the phone already in your guard's pocket, routes that prove themselves, and missed-scan sweeps that tell you before the client does.
Security contracts are won on trust and lost on doubt. The moment a client asks "was anyone actually walking my property at 3 AM?" and your answer is a paper logbook, the relationship has a countdown on it. A guard tour system exists to make that question boring: here is the route, here is every checkpoint scan, here is the timestamp and the GPS position for each one.
GuardChek's tours were built inside a working security company, for sites where the patrols genuinely matter: empty buildings, yards with expensive equipment, properties with a history. The founder's own guards scan these checkpoints every night.
Traditional tour systems make you buy proprietary wands, docking stations and replacement units every time one gets dropped in a puddle. GuardChek uses NFC tags: cheap, weatherproof stickers and fobs that guards scan with their own iPhone or Android. Place a tag at each point that matters (the back gate, the generator room, the far corner of the lot), define the route, and you are running tours the same day. We help you plan the checkpoint placement during onboarding.
Most tour systems tell you what happened. The report arrives in the morning; the missed patrol happened at midnight; the client's car got broken into at 2. GuardChek runs automated missed-scan sweeps: when a checkpoint that should have been scanned was not, the office gets alerted while the shift is still running. You call the guard, fix the problem, and the client never knows there was one. That is the difference between managing patrols and reading about them.
Every tour produces a clean report: route, scans, times, gaps if there were any, photos and notes the guard attached along the way. Reports export to PDF for the clients who want email, and clients with portal access can see their own sites' tour history whenever they want. When a dispute comes, you are the one with the evidence.
Wand-based tour systems with proprietary hardware, spreadsheet checklists nobody audits, and the WhatsApp-photo trail where a guard sends a picture of a hallway and everyone hopes the timestamp is honest. Before this module existed, the founder's own security company verified patrols through a WhatsApp trail of roughly two thousand photos. Nobody misses it.
In the demo: build a route, scan a checkpoint, miss one on purpose, and watch the sweep catch it.

No wands or docking stations. Checkpoints are inexpensive NFC tags scanned with the guard's own phone. We help you plan tag placement during onboarding.
The automated missed-scan sweep flags it and alerts the office while the shift is still running, so you can fix coverage before the client notices.
Yes, two ways: PDF reports you send, or their own client portal login showing their sites' tours and reports. You control what each client sees.
Scans are recorded on the phone even without signal and sync when coverage returns, so a completed patrol is never lost to a dead zone.
