Attendance is the foundation of every security agency's operations — it determines what guards get paid and what clients get billed. Yet most agencies still track it the old way: a paper register signed at each site, collected weekly or monthly, then manually transcribed into a spreadsheet by someone in the back office. This process is slow, error-prone, and nearly impossible to verify — was the guard actually present, or did someone sign on their behalf?
Guard attendance software solves this by moving attendance marking to the point of actual work — the site itself — using a mobile app that field officers and supervisors can use on any smartphone. PatrolNova's attendance system lets supervisors mark present, absent, half-day, or overtime status for each guard at each site, with the data syncing instantly to the central system.
Because attendance data is captured digitally and in real time, agency owners get an accurate, up-to-the-minute view of coverage across every client site — no waiting until month-end to discover a site was understaffed for two weeks. And because this same attendance data drives payroll and client invoicing automatically, there's no gap between what actually happened at a site and what appears on the books.
Site-wise, shift-based, and connected to payroll and billing.
