Guard Patrol Pro vs Guardix

Guard Patrol Pro is cloud-based security patrol software for verifying rounds and keeping supervisors informed about patrol status. Guards can scan QR-code or NFC checkpoints, with GPS geofencing available on every plan. Route assignment, automated guard scheduling and GPS-verified shift attendance support day-to-day patrol operations. Guards can submit incident reports with photos and notes, with GPS and timestamps attached to the round. The app includes a one-tap SOS alert, and supervisors can receive real-time missed-checkpoint alerts. Daily patrol, attendance and incident reports are emailed to agency owners and site managers. The software runs on web, Android and iOS, and the mobile app can continue working without a signal before syncing data when connectivity returns. The vendor says GPS tracking is limited to active shifts and that location history follows a configured retention policy. Plans start at $15/mo, with a 15-day trial listed. The Starter plan is $15 a month and covers three sites and 20 guards; higher plans add capacity and support options.
