PatrolPad
Read full descriptionHide full description
PatrolPad is the patrol report tool for security officers and small guard companies. Scan QR checkpoints, photograph what you see, log incidents, and send a professional PDF report to your client the moment the patrol ends. NOTHING IS EVER LOST Everything lives on your phone and works with zero signal, in a basement or a dead zone. Kill the app mid-patrol: it reopens exactly where you were, with every scan and photo intact. NO HARDWARE TO BUY Print your QR checkpoint stickers straight from the app. Stick them up, scan them on every round. Time and position are recorded at each scan, as your proof of presence. REPORTS CLIENTS TAKE SERIOUSLY Patrol report, incident report and daily activity log as clean PDFs, carrying your company name and logo, signed with your finger, emailed in one tap. Incident reports travel with the patrol report, so your client gets the complete file in one send. WEEKLY SUMMARY Every patrol of the week in one compact PDF. Your work, visible to your client. YOUR POSITION, ONLY WHEN IT MATTERS Location is recorded at the moment you scan or report an incident, never in between. It is proof of presence, not a tracker. No account, no server of ours: your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, French and Spanish. Reports can use a different language per site, so your client always reads them in theirs. FREE FOR YOUR FIRST SITE One guarded site free forever, with unlimited patrols and full-quality reports. PatrolPad Pro unlocks unlimited sites: 149.99 USD per year, or 349.99 USD once, yours forever.
