Security
Workforce and sign-in software for security firms.
Roster guards across sites, prove they signed on where they should, and keep lone workers safe with check-ins and an SOS. Workhr is workforce software built for security operations in New Zealand and Australia.
Security work is spread thin and often solo: a guard on a site at 2am, a mobile patrol between locations, a static post that a client is paying to be covered. You need to know the post is manned, the guard is safe, and the hours are right. Workhr rosters the coverage, proves the sign-on, and keeps a lone worker safe, in one app.
The radio is in the app.
This frame is the real Workhr worker app running on a demo tenant. Push-to-talk radio with every transmission recorded and transcribed, call summoning from home base, and voice messages for guards who were off the air. No second device on the belt.
- ✓ Hold to talk to home base or any guard
- ✓ Every transmission transcribed into a searchable ledger
- ✓ Checkpoint tours, welfare and SOS in the same app
Roster every post, see every gap
Schedule guards across sites and shifts from a coverage-first view, so an unmanned post is obvious before the client notices. Deploy, swap and fill without a spreadsheet.
- Coverage-first rostering across sites
- Open posts flagged before the client sees them
- Deploy and swap guards quickly
Prove the post was manned
Guards sign on and off at the post with a GPS-stamped tap, so you have proof of presence at the site the client is paying for. If a guard does not sign on, you know before the client does.
- GPS-stamped sign-on at the post
- Missed sign-on alerts to the control room
- Defensible proof of coverage for clients
Keep a solo guard safe
Timed welfare check-ins and a one-tap SOS mean a lone guard is never truly alone. Miss a check-in or hit the panic button and the alert goes straight to your consultants or control room, not a next-of-kin phone tree.
- Timed welfare check-ins
- One-tap SOS to the control room
- Missed check-in escalates automatically
Why teams choose Workhr
GPS sign-on at the post gives clients defensible proof the site they paid to cover was actually manned.
Welfare check-ins and an SOS route straight to your control room, so a solo guard is never on their own.
Rostering, sign-on, radio, welfare and timesheets in one place, built for how security actually operates.
Common questions
- Is there scheduling software for security guards?
- Yes. Workhr rosters guards across sites and shifts from a coverage-first view, so open posts are flagged before a client notices, and guards can be deployed and swapped without a spreadsheet.
- How does Workhr prove a guard was on site?
- Guards sign on and off at the post with a GPS-stamped tap, giving you defensible proof of presence at the site the client is paying to cover, plus alerts if a guard does not sign on.
- Does it have lone-worker safety features?
- Yes. Workhr includes timed welfare check-ins and a one-tap SOS. A missed check-in or a panic alert escalates straight to your consultants or control room.
- Does Workhr replace a two-way radio for guards?
- For many operations, yes. The worker app includes push-to-talk radio with recorded, transcribed transmissions, call summoning from home base, and voice messages for guards who were off the air.
- Does it work for New Zealand and Australian security firms?
- Yes. Workhr is built for security operations in both New Zealand and Australia, covering rostering, GPS sign-on, radio, lone-worker safety and timesheets in one system.
Cover every post, keep every guard safe.
