    How security companies in Ireland use the app

    Security companies use Guard Patrol to replace paper occurrence books and disconnected messaging with one timestamped record of attendance, patrol rounds, incidents and supervisor actions. Irish providers can create a consistent electronic patrol trail while maintaining their separate PSA licensing and data-protection processes.

    Agency administrators create sites and shifts, issue QR or NFC checkpoints, assign guards and monitor exceptions from a browser. Guards use the Android app already on their phone, including when connectivity is unavailable.

    • Live GPS tracking for guards on active shifts
    • QR code, NFC and GPS checkpoint verification
    • Face-verified attendance and geofenced duty-in
    • SOS alerts and photo-based incident reporting
    • Offline patrol capture with automatic synchronization
    • Client-ready attendance, patrol and incident reports

    Local compliance context in Ireland

    The Private Security Authority licenses employees and contractors working in regulated security sectors. Its official licensing guidance sets out the categories and application requirements.

    Guard Patrol supports operational recordkeeping, but it does not replace legal advice, employee licensing, required training or the security company's own compliance duties. Requirements should be confirmed with the relevant authority before deployment.

    Pricing and rollout

    Plans are billed in US dollars through the shared Guard Patrol account system. The 15-day trial covers one site and one guard; paid plans currently support up to 15 sites and 100 guards.

    A practical rollout starts with one active site: map checkpoints, add the duty roster, run a supervised patrol and review the first attendance and patrol reports before expanding to more locations.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can Irish security contractors manage several clients?

    Yes. Sites, guards, routes and reporting can be separated by client and managed from one agency dashboard.

    Does the app replace a PSA licence?

    No. The app supports operations and evidence; required PSA licences remain the responsibility of the company and individual.
