What is a guard tour system?
A guard tour system proves that security guards patrolled the places they were meant to, when they were meant to. Guards scan checkpoints placed around a site, each scan is recorded with the time and location, and supervisors are alerted when a scheduled round is missed or late. ForceVera does this with QR codes and the guard mobile app.
Why it matters
Guard tour system: what your security company gets
Missed rounds flagged at once
If a tour is not completed in its time window, dispatchers and supervisors get an alert while there is still time to act.
No extra hardware
Print the QR codes ForceVera creates and stick them up. Guards scan with the same phone app they use to clock in.

FAQ
Guard tour system: questions, answered
Do I need special guard tour hardware?
No. ForceVera uses QR codes that you print and place at each checkpoint. Guards scan them with the ForceVera app on their phone, so there are no wands, buttons or readers to buy.
How do I know if a guard missed a patrol?
Each tour has a time window. If the checkpoints are not scanned in that window, ForceVera marks the tour as missed and alerts your dispatchers and supervisors.
Can clients see patrol records?
Yes. Patrol activity is included in the daily report emailed to clients, and on Pro and Enterprise clients can also see it in their own portal.
Does it work for night shifts?
Yes. Tours can run across midnight, and scans are tied to the guard's active shift.
Can a guard fake a scan?
Scans only count while the guard is clocked in on a geofenced shift, and each scan records the phone's location, which makes scanning from somewhere else easy to spot.
