NetraOps is a modern security guard management platform built for security companies and the clients they protect. Guards use the mobile app to run their shifts end-to-end — clock in with GPS verification, log patrols, submit incident reports with photos, complete checklists, take breaks, and hand off to the next guard — while supervisors and clients get real-time visibility from the web portal. BUILT FOR GUARDS - GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out at every post - Live location pings during active shifts - Photo-backed activity, incident, and maintenance reports - AI-assisted report writing to save time and improve quality - Task checklists with required photo evidence - Meal, rest, and other break tracking - Shift swap and handoff requests, directly from the phone - Push notifications for late clock-in, missed pings, and pending tasks - In-app chat with supervisors BUILT FOR SECURITY COMPANIES - Multi-site scheduling with recurring shift patterns - Bulk guard assignment and roster management - Geofenced post boundaries with automatic violation alerts - Real-time shift monitoring across all active sites - Automatic email alerts to clients on incidents - Payroll-ready timesheets with break tracking - XLSX and PDF exports for compliance and billing - Role-based access for admins, supervisors, and clients - Multi-tenant architecture — run multiple contracts in one account BUILT FOR CLIENTS - Live view of guards currently on your sites - Instant email notifications for incidents at your properties - Access to shift history, patrol reports, and photo evidence - Multi-site client accounts for property portfolios WHY NETRAOPS Security operations run on trust and accountability. NetraOps replaces paper logs, missed calls, and spreadsheet timesheets with a single system that captures what happened, where it happened, and who was there — with GPS and photo evidence attached to every event. Companies win contracts because clients can see their service in real time. Guards work more efficiently because the app guides them through their shift instead of getting in the way. PRIVACY AND LOCATION NetraOps only tracks guard location during active shifts, and only inside the geofenced boundary of assigned posts. Location tracking pauses automatically during breaks and stops the moment a guard clocks out. Guards see exactly when tracking is active with a persistent on-screen indicator. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. REQUIREMENTS - Active NetraOps account through your employer or security company - iOS 15.0 or later - Location, Camera, and Notifications permissions Learn more at netraops.com or contact support@netraops.com.
