    Software for manned guarding companies

    Manned guarding software is what a guarding company uses to roster officers onto client sites, show they were there, and keep their SIA licences and vetting in date. GuardLink covers the rota, attendance, compliance, check-ins, incidents and timesheets for fixed-site guarding.

    Proof of attendance and incidents

    What makes it hard

    • Cover has to be continuous

      One uncovered night shift turns into a conversation about the contract.

    • Every officer needs a valid licence

      And you are expected to be able to show it, for all of them, on any day.

    • Clients want evidence, not assurances

      At contract review, attendance and incidents have to be shown.

    What you would use, and what for

    • Fill the rota without the usual mistakes

      The booking is checked against the officer's licence, leave and rest. Today's cover for each site is on one screen.

      Scheduling
    • Know who turned up

      Officers clock in on site with a photo. Late arrivals and no-shows are flagged.

      Attendance
    • Keep licences and vetting in date

      One record per officer, with warnings from 90 days before anything expires.

      SIA compliance
    • Look after officers on nights

      Regular check-ins on the officer's phone. A missed one goes to your managers.

      Check calls
    • Pay and bill from the same hours

      Timesheets come from clock-ins. Invoices come from the shifts, at that client's rate.

    Questions

    Manned guarding: what people ask

    Is it suitable for a small guarding company?

    Yes. You pay per user, so a small team pays for a small team. It also works for companies with several hundred officers, on a plan priced for them.

    Can we run all our client sites from one account?

    Yes. One account holds as many clients and sites as you have, each with its own shifts and charge rates. There is no fee per site.

    Do clients get a login?

    No. You send them reports. Client, site and shift reports export as a PDF, and shift reports can be emailed from the app.
