What should a security guard app do?

A security guard app puts the whole shift on the guard's phone: schedule, clock-in, patrols, reports and messages. ForceVera's app for iOS and Android lets guards clock in only on site with a PIN, scan QR checkpoints, file reports with photos, complete duty tasks and chat with the office, while supervisors manage shifts and leave for their sites.

Why it matters

Guard mobile app: what your security company gets

One app instead of group chats

Shifts, site instructions, tasks and messages live in one place, so nothing gets lost in a WhatsApp thread.

Attendance you can trust

Clock-in needs the guard's own 4-digit PIN and a location inside the site's geofence, so the record shows who was really on post.

Supervisors manage on the move

Supervisors see live duty at their sites, change shifts and approve leave from the same app.

FAQ

Guard mobile app: questions, answered

Is there an app for iPhone and Android?

Yes. Guards and supervisors use the ForceVera app on iPhone and Android phones. Office staff, dispatchers and clients use the web app in a browser.

How does the app stop buddy punching?

Each guard clocks in with their own 4-digit PIN, and the app checks that the phone is inside the site's geofence before duty starts. Breaks are geofenced too, and a clock-out away from the site is flagged to supervisors.

Is there a separate charge for the app?

No. The app is included in every ForceVera plan. Plans are priced by the number of guards, with no extra fee per app user.

Does the app track guards when they are off duty?

No. Location is used while a guard is on duty, for clock-in, patrol scans and geofence alerts. The phone asks the guard for location permission first.

What can supervisors do in the app?

Supervisors see who is on duty at their assigned sites, create and change shifts there, approve or reject leave requests and message their guards.
