Everything a guard-management app does — plus the accountability depth it leaves out.
Guard-scheduling tools assign posts and collect timestamps, then stop. Chronotek Pro monitors every shift continuously — alerting supervisors the moment a guard leaves the geofence while still on the clock, flagging the infraction on the time card, and giving you the full payroll and HR depth your operation requires.
One platform for the whole operation — real-time accountability from first clock-in to final payroll.
Book a DemoSecurity Guard Software FAQs
Security guard management software runs the operations side of a guard company in one platform — post scheduling, verified on-post timekeeping, team communication, and payroll prep. Chronotek Pro adds GPS geofencing and NFC TimeTiles™ so every clock-in provably happens at the post, plus live dashboards that flag late arrivals, no-shows, and off-post movement in real time.
Chronotek Pro geofences every post, requires location at clock-in, and shows where everyone is clocked in on a Live Map. For sites that demand physical proof, place an NFC TimeTile™ at the post — guards must tap it to clock in, and the tap works even where GPS is weak, like parking decks and building interiors.
The geofence detects it immediately: you get a real-time alert, and the GPS infraction is marked on the guard’s time card for review. You hear about an abandoned post from the system — not from your client the next morning.
Yes. Guards without smartphones clock in by calling a toll-free number, any hour of the night. From a guard-shack or site landline, caller ID verifies they are on-site, with prompts in English and Spanish — every guard on the roster is tracked in the same system.
Store licenses, permits, and certifications digitally against each guard’s record, and Chronotek Pro alerts you before documents expire — so a lapsed guard card never surprises you at a client audit. Emergency contacts and onboarding workflows live in the same place.
Chronotek Pro costs $19 per month plus $6 per employee per month, with a 5-employee minimum — so the entry price is $49 per month. Prepaying annually saves 15%, and every account starts with a 30-day free trial with full access and no credit card. See current pricing.
