Guard Tour System

Deliver a proactive guard tour service

Challenge misconceptions around the value of security guarding operations and go from being an ‘unavoidable cost’ to a value-adding service. The TrackTik Guard Tour module enables you to take an all-encompassing look at your operations and develop a strategy that maximizes the value you deliver to stakeholders. Working with your stakeholders, you can identify their most valuable assets and tailor your guard tour accordingly. Define your checkpoints based on this analysis to make sure you’re covering your customer’s priorities and define the actions required at each point. TrackTik allows you to define what happens at each checkpoint, including logging, displaying a message, opening a report form, asking exception questions, or triggering an incident alert. This powerful mobile support is compatible with iOS and Android and works using a variety of checkpoint types such as NFC, barcode, QR Code, Aztec, GPS, as well as manual check-ins.

Security guard GPS tracking and site geofencing
