Night patrols, isolated sites, agents alone facing risk: private security demands flawless proof of attendance and real protection for your agents. ChronoTrack combines GPS clock-in via QR code + PIN with a geolocated SOS alert (lone worker protection), with no app to install.
A guarding company must prove to its clients that its agents were indeed present, at the right times, on the right sites - and protect agents who often work alone, at night, in risky locations. ChronoTrack addresses both.
One QR code per site, scanned on arrival and departure, with GPS perimeter control. Every pass is time-stamped: you have complete traceability of shifts, including at night and on weekends.
The SOS button lets a staff member in trouble instantly alert their manager, who receives their exact GPS position by email - and, on the Premium plan, by SMS too. Reassuring for your staff and a compliance argument for your clients.
Organize shifts with the schedule, manage absences, and export hours for payroll and invoicing, without re-keying.
An incident, an anomaly on site? The agent submits a report with a photo from their phone, and the manager is notified immediately.
Create your sites and agents, print the QR codes, and your shifts are tracked from the very next night. No specific hardware, no time clock.
Turnover is the norm in private security, and that is exactly what makes app-based solutions fail: by the time a guard is set up, their assignment is over. Since there is nothing to install, creating a guard takes less than a minute and they clock in right away with their PIN. For events and last-minute reinforcements, it is the difference between tracking shifts and not tracking them at all.
A very common case. Two simple answers: move the QR code a few meters to an area with coverage - entrance, guard post, loading dock - or set up a tablet on the site's Wi-Fi, which then acts as a shared time clock where each guard clocks in with their PIN.
It remains useful for recording events. What it does not do is prove an arrival time beyond dispute, feed your invoicing without re-entry, or alert you in real time that a guard has not taken up their post. ChronoTrack does not replace the occurrence book: it makes hours and presence reliable, and lets you attach a time-stamped photo report.
Two leaks are classic in security guarding: shifts worked but not invoiced for lack of proof, and overtime paid to the guard without being re-invoiced to the client. Both come from the same place - an approximate count of hours.
When every shift is time-stamped and geolocated, the total per site and per guard calculates itself, gaps with the contract surface automatically, and invoicing is based on real hours.

Indicative estimate based on your inputs (4.33 weeks/month). It only counts the administrative time spent collecting and re-entering clock-ins: savings from fewer disputes, non-compliant shifts and missed clock-ins come on top.
