GuardsPro
GuardsPro is a cloud-based management platform that connects security companies, guards, and clients. Its tools combine a guard mobile app with scheduling, reporting, dispatch, and live tracking, and it runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Guards can use the app for check-in and check-out, schedules, post orders, and reports. Managers can collect daily activity, incident, site-tour, task, dispatch-call, and passdown reports for approval before sharing them with clients. Live Tracker shows guard movement and tracking history, and provides geofencing around authorized client sites. Professional-plan integrations export payroll reports to QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP Workforce, and Paychex. GuardsPro says the service runs on Microsoft Azure, exchanges data over HTTPS with SSL, and uses incremental encrypted database backups. The pricing note lists plans from $4.25 per user per month and a 30-day trial; there is no free plan. Subscriptions are monthly with no long-term contract, and billing is based on active guards.
