Security guard scheduling

Know every post is covered—across every site and shift.

Schedule gates, lobbies, rovers, supervisors, and overnight posts. Surface unassigned coverage before the shift handoff begins.

The guard staffing demo opens in Builder without signup. Pro helps supervisors respond when posts or assignments change.

Common coordination problems

A single open post can put the whole site plan at risk.

Coverage crosses many posts

Guard schedules often span client sites, posts, supervisors, and overnight coverage.

Open posts need attention

An unassigned gate, lobby, or rover shift can be difficult to spot in a spreadsheet.

Field teams need mobile clarity

Guards need clear shift times, locations, roles, and updates while away from a desk.

Can guards see available shifts?

Pro can surface open shifts for staff to review and claim when claiming is enabled.

Can guards view site, post, and schedule changes on mobile?
