Bannerman vs Mobile Worker

Bannerman helps security companies manage officer hiring, scheduling, field reports, patrols, invoicing, and related operations. Operators can view current activity through live monitoring, which highlights potential issues. Scheduling uses officer performance indicators to assist shift assignments, while the overtime calculator helps track hours and costs. Compliance features cover breaks, overtime protection, license checks, and officer qualifications. Officers have a free iOS and Android app for field work and paperwork reduction; the service also runs on the web. Bannerman lists free access for companies with 5–15 guards in priority that serve at least one listed area, and says it is currently selecting companies. It provides training and migration, with onboarding typically taking less than two weeks on average, according to the company. Partner access includes scheduling, reporting, and billing tools. The software page lists its plan at free, though availability depends on eligibility and selection.

Mobile Worker is an app for commercial and technical field teams to manage tasks, visits, expenses, orders and customer notifications. Teams can import tasks from Excel or CSV, connect through an API, then assign and plan work automatically. The app uses workers’ smartphone GPS for location and trip history, with alerts for unexpected stops and geofence entry or exit. It can send ETA and status messages by SMS or email and share real-time tracking links with customers. Workers can document deliveries, technical visits, installations and sales with photos, signatures and other information. They can enter orders from a product catalog and record expenses with receipt photos; orders sync to the web administrator. Offline use is supported, with data sent once connectivity returns. Mobile Worker runs on Android, iOS and the web, with an API also listed. The maker recommends iOS 15 or later and Android 11 or later and says no additional tracking equipment is needed. The free Básico plan is limited to five users and 100 tasks per month. Pro is $25 a month, and a 15-day trial is listed. Advanced includes API integrations, with pricing available by contacting sales.
