Mobile patrol software that proves every site visit

When one guard covers several sites a night, ForceVera shows that each visit happened: an on-site clock-in, checkpoint scans and a report for every site.

What software do mobile patrol companies use?

Mobile patrol companies use guard tour software to prove every site visit happened. In ForceVera, a patrol guard clocks in inside each site's geofence, scans the QR checkpoints on that site's tour and files reports with photos. Dispatchers see guards on duty on a live map, and missed or late tours raise alerts.

The problems

What slows mobile patrol companies down

Visits that are hard to prove

A client is billed for nightly patrols, but there is nothing to show the guard actually got out and walked the site.

Each visit has a geofenced clock-in and time-stamped, located QR checkpoint scans, rolled into the client's daily report.

A missed stop goes unnoticed

With many sites on one route, a skipped site only comes to light when the client complains.

Tours have time windows; a tour not completed in time is marked missed and dispatchers and supervisors are alerted.

Lone guards out of sight

Patrol guards work alone at night, and the office has no idea where they are or whether they have stopped moving.

The command center shows guards on duty on a live map, with alerts when a guard leaves a site or goes idle.
Capabilities

What you get

Everything runs from the same guards, sites, shifts and reports, in the web app for your office and the iOS and Android app for guards and supervisors.

  • Unlimited sites, each with its own geofence, checkpoints and tours
  • QR codes for each checkpoint, ready to print; no wands or readers
  • Tour time windows, including rounds that run past midnight
  • Scans checked against the site and checkpoint location
  • "On route" status while the guard travels to the next site
  • Missed and late tour alerts
  • Live map of guards on duty, geofence exit and idle alerts (Pro and Enterprise)
  • Dispatch calls logged with their status (Pro and Enterprise)

Which plan fits mobile patrol companies?

Mobile patrol companies usually choose Pro, because the live map, dispatch calls and the client portal are in Pro and Enterprise. QR patrol tours, the geofenced time clock and reports are in every plan, so a small patrol operation can start on Basic. See pricing and plan limits.

FAQ

ForceVera for mobile patrol companies: questions, answered

How does ForceVera handle a guard who patrols several sites in one night?

Schedule a shift for each site on the route. At each stop the guard clocks in inside that site's geofence, scans the checkpoints on the site's tour, files any report and clocks out before moving on to the next site.

Does ForceVera track patrol vehicles?

No. ForceVera has no vehicle tracking. It uses the guard's phone location while they are on duty, for clock-in, checkpoint scans, the live map and geofence alerts.

Do we need NFC tags or beacons?

No, and they are not supported today. Checkpoints are QR codes that you print and place on site; guards scan them with the ForceVera app.

Is there a panic button for lone patrol guards?

Not today. Dispatchers see who is on duty on the live map and get alerts when a guard leaves a site's geofence or stops moving, and guards can message the office from the app.

Can clients see the patrol visits at their site?

Yes. Patrol scans and missed tours appear in the daily client report, and on Pro and Enterprise clients can see them in their own portal.
