Built for Security. Deeper Than Guard-Tracking Software.

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.

Capability
Chronotek Pro
Typical guard-management app
Timekeeping depth

Continuous monitoring throughout the shift — supervisors are alerted the instant a guard leaves the site while clocked in, and the infraction is automatically flagged on the time card
GPS reads at clock-in and clock-out only — nothing in between
Post accountability
Live Map shows every officer on duty in real time; no-show alerts fire before a post goes unguarded
Shift roster view only — no live location feed
Payroll prep
Auto-flagged time card issues, pay codes for armed/unarmed shifts, locked pay periods and exports to ADP, Paychex, Paycom & PDP
