Your guards were there. Now you can prove it.

Guardrol runs your entire guarding operation — patrols, shifts, incidents, alerts, radios, access control — and turns every one into tamper-evident, digitally-signed proof of service. Delivered to your clients through a portal branded as yours. Per active guard. No lock-in.

The stakes

Stop selling manpower. Start selling proof.

You lose the contract when a rival walks in with live tracking and signed reports — and you have a register and your word. You lose it when the RFP demands electronic proof of service you can't produce. You lose it when a guard skips a patrol, the client asks for the records, and you don't have them.

The problem was never your guards. It's that you can't prove what they did.

Contracts lost to tech

A rival brings a live portal and signed reports. You bring a clipboard.

Service you can't prove

The client asks "how do I know?" and the honest answer is: you don't.

Guards gaming the round

Buttons pressed from the guardroom. No route, no GPS, no way to tell.

Radios that bleed cash

Airtime, repairs, licences, dead handsets — a line item with no proof attached.

What changed

Guarding is judged on evidence now — not effort.

Clients, insurers and tenders increasingly demand verifiable proof of service — not a promise that the round was walked. The firms that can prove it win and keep contracts. The rest get squeezed on price, competing on the one thing that's easy to undercut: bodies on the ground.

The verifiable record

Not a report. Evidence.

Anyone can print a PDF. Guardrol produces proof that can't be quietly edited after the fact.

app.guardrol.com/site/patrols
A real Guardrol patrol record: each checkpoint scan stamped with time, GPS accuracy and distance, a live completion percentage, and every missed checkpoint flagged — the verifiable chain of custody, not a claim about the work

Every entry is locked to the one before it. Alter a single line after the fact and the chain breaks — visibly. That's the difference between "trust us" and "here's the proof." Your competitor hands the client a spreadsheet. You hand over a signed, sealed, tamper-evident record.

Tamper-evident

Each record is hash-chained to the last. Alter one entry and the chain breaks — anyone can tell it was touched.

SHA-256 hash chain · per-entry integrity

Sealed for good

Reports are written once and archived where they can't be overwritten, then digitally signed. The record you produced is the record that stays.

WORM archive · digital signatures

Yours, provably

Who did it, when, and where — a verifiable chain of custody on every record. Not a claim about the work. The record of it.

Chain of custody · GPS + identity + time
White-label client portal

Your clients will ask for this. Give it to them first — with your name on it.

Every client you guard gets their own portal — separately branded, showing only their own sites. It's how proof of service becomes proof of value: the reason a contract renews without ever going back out to tender. They log in, see their sites live, and pull a signed report whenever they want one.

  • A dedicated portal per client — each separately branded with their logo, your service, no Guardrol branding in sight.
  • Live incident & patrol feed — what's happening on site, as it happens.
  • On-demand signed reports — the client pulls verifiable proof themselves, any time.
  • Optional livestream — camera and body-worn feeds where the site warrants it.

The platform

The whole operation. One platform. All of it provable.

Patrols & checkpoints

GPS-verified rounds. Skipped checkpoints surface immediately.

Shifts & facial verification

Clock-in confirms the right guard is on the right post.

Incident reporting

Structured, timestamped, media-backed — with a police case-number field.

Immutable occurrence book

Once an entry is written, it stays written. No quiet edits.

Panic & geofence alerts

Duress and boundary breaches escalate down a response waterfall.

Push-to-talk radio

Native PTT over cellular. Retire two-way radios and their airtime bill.

Live stream to control room

Guards stream live video from the field — see it as it happens, not after.

Access control

Vehicles, pedestrians, deliveries — with number-plate capture, logged at the boom.

Client portal

Your clients each get their own branded portal — live status and signed reports, on demand.

Branded reports

Auto-compiled DARs and incident packs — your logo, your client's name, delivered.

SLA scorecards

Prove you hit the contract: coverage, response times and patrol completion, scored.

Managed rugged devices

A locked-down Android fleet we provision, monitor and support.

Field & control room

One platform. Both sides of the radio.

Guards carry it on a rugged phone. Your controllers run the whole night from one screen — the same live channels, the same map, the same record. No base station, no airtime bill.

Getting started

Live in days, not months.

01

We provision the fleet

We ship managed devices and import your sites and guards. You don't touch a config file.

02

Guards go to work

They clock in with face-verify and PTT. Patrols auto-log with GPS. Nothing new to learn on a busy night.

03

Proof reaches the client

Branded, verifiable reports land with your client automatically — sealed and ready to stand behind.

Live in days, not months. We do the heavy lifting.

The outcome

Keep the contract you were about to lose.

The client asks how they know the site was actually covered. With a logbook, that's a conversation you can lose. With Guardrol, they log into their own portal, see it live, and pull a signed, tamper-evident record themselves — and there's nothing left to argue about.

That's how proof of service becomes proof of value: the contract renews instead of going out to tender, and you win the next one on evidence, not just price.

"Manpower is the commodity. Proof is the product."
Client testimonial · sample

"When our client asked how she'd know a patrol was actually walked, we had a logbook and our word. Now she logs into her own branded portal and sees every round live — and pulls a signed report herself. We've kept two contracts that were heading out to tender."

Straight answers

The questions you're actually asking.

Isn't this expensive?
You pay per active guard, per month — and only for guards working that month. No setup fees, no charge for idle devices, no every-seat licence. For most firms it costs less than the radio airtime and repairs it replaces, and it wins contracts that pay for it many times over.
Will I be locked in?
No contracts that trap you. Your data lives in an isolated instance that's yours, and it's exportable. If you leave, you take your records with you. We'd rather keep you because it works than because you can't get out.
My guards won't use it.
The device does the work. Clock-in is a face, a patrol is a scan, the radio is a button. There's less to learn than a two-way radio, and the hardest night shift is the one it's designed for. We provision, train and support the fleet.
We're too small for this.
Guardrol starts from five active guards. Small firms are exactly who this levels up — it's how you walk into a tender against a national player and hand over the same proof they do.
What about our data and privacy law?
Your data sits in an isolated per-customer instance, encrypted at rest and in transit, with access-logged records and immutable audit trails. We're built with GDPR and POPIA in mind from the ground up, and the data is always yours to export.
Our sites lose signal.
The field app captures offline and syncs when the connection returns. A dead spot doesn't lose a patrol or an incident — the record is held on the device and sealed once it reaches the server.
Switching sounds painful.
We do the heavy lifting: provision the devices, import your sites and guards, and get you live in days. You run one contract on it first, see the proof land with the client, then roll out from there.
Pricing

Priced per active guard. Published. No lock-in.

The incumbents hide the price, bill you for inactive users and idle devices, and lock you into multi-year deals. We don't. The honesty is the point.
