Every site, one dashboard

Open a single screen and immediately see the full picture:

  • Active patrols happening right now
  • Checkpoints that guards have completed
  • Sites where rounds were skipped or late
  • Locations that need supervisor attention

No spreadsheets. No phone calls. No guessing.

GPS and QR verification at every checkpoint

Each patrol round is backed by hard evidence through GPS tracking software for security guards combined with on-site QR code scans.

Here is what that delivers:

  • Physical presence confirmed at each location
  • Automatic timestamps on every scan
  • Gaps in patrol routes flagged the moment they occur

When a checkpoint gets skipped, the dashboard shows it immediately.

Catch failures before they become client complaints

Most patrol breakdowns only surface after something goes wrong. This system reverses that pattern.

Supervisors can:

  • Identify skipped or late rounds in real time
  • Reassign guards before a site sits unprotected
  • Resolve issues before any client raises a concern

Addressing problems early costs nothing. Dealing with complaints costs contracts.

Supervisors manage through data, not phone calls

Guards complete their rounds using the mobile app for security guards with panic alerts, and every action feeds directly into the dashboard.

Supervisors always know:

  • Which guard covered which site
  • The exact route they followed
  • The precise time each checkpoint was scanned

That turns management into monitoring, not micromanaging.

Audit-ready patrol records on demand

Every patrol entry automatically connects to our security guard shift and duty management system, so there is never a question about who was responsible.

Your records always include:

  • Full patrol history for each site
  • Individual guard accountability logs
  • Documented proof of compliance

When a client or authority asks for evidence, you pull it up in seconds.

What makes security firms switch to this

Accountability drives performance. That is the core principle here.

Without patrol tracking, you deal with:

  • Handwritten logs nobody can verify
  • Disputes over whether rounds were completed
  • Complaints arriving before you knew there was a problem

With MyProtektor, you operate with:

  • Real-time patrol visibility across all sites
  • Automatic alerts when something falls behind
  • Sites that stay covered because the system enforces it

If patrol compliance matters to your contracts, you need visibility to enforce it.
