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.

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.

Turnover this high means guards need tools with zero learning curve. The radio, the tour and the timesheet live in the one app they already carry.
