We’re excited to announce the launch of GuardPro App Version 8.0.0! This major update brings a range of significant enhancements aimed at improving both the functionality and user experience of the app. With these new features, we’re confident that you’ll be able to work more efficiently, stay organized, and enhance overall security operations. Whether you’re a guard, a supervisor, or a manager, this update has something for everyone.

We invite you to explore the new features and changes outlined below and discover how they can make your job easier and more effective. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us as we continue to refine and improve the app to better meet your needs.

1. Schedule Enhancements

We understand how important it is to stay on top of your shifts and schedules. That’s why we’ve introduced several new scheduling features that will make it easier for you to manage your time and stay organized.

  • Monthly Shift View: The new 3-dot menu now allows you to access a monthly view of your shifts. Simply click on any date to view all shifts scheduled for that day. This new feature provides a clearer overview of your upcoming shifts and makes it easier to plan your workdays in advance.
  • Download Confirmed Shifts: Once your shifts are confirmed, you can now download them directly to your local calendar. This feature is available in the same 3-dot menu and allows you to seamlessly sync your GuardPro shifts with your personal calendar, ensuring that you never miss an important shift or appointment again.

2. Site Tour Improvements

Site tours are a critical part of any security operation, and we’ve made several improvements to make these tasks even more efficient.

  • Tag Color Update: When scanning tags during site tours, you’ll notice a subtle but important change. Scanned tags will now appear in light green on the map, making them much easier to identify. This simple update helps to reduce confusion, especially when conducting multiple scans or working in busy environments.

3. Passdown Reminder Feature

Effective communication between guards is essential to maintaining operational continuity. With the new Passdown Reminder Feature, we’ve made it easier for guards to stay on top of crucial information.

  • Acknowledge Passdowns: When the “Force guard to acknowledge pass down logs” setting is enabled, guards will now receive a reminder of any unacknowledged passdowns when they check in. This ensures that any important information passed on by the previous guard is acknowledged before the shift starts, improving communication and ensuring no important details are missed.

4. Home Page Changes

Your home screen is now even more functional and visually informative, with a redesigned layout that makes accessing key data quicker and easier.

  • The new home page now features graphs for reports, site tours, and hours, offering a quick snapshot of your activities and performance. This visual representation of your data helps you quickly assess your daily workload and performance metrics, without having to navigate through multiple screens.

5. Time Clock & Logs

We’ve introduced a set of features designed to improve time-tracking accuracy and security, so you can focus on your duties without worrying about time management.

  • Facial Recognition: A new facial recognition setting has been added to the time clock. This feature ensures that only authorized personnel can clock in or out, enhancing security by preventing time fraud and ensuring accountability. The system is easy to use and adds an extra layer of protection to your attendance records.
  • Request Time Log Changes: We’ve made it easier for you to request changes to your time log entries. Simply click on any entry to request an update, whether it’s for a missed punch, shift adjustment, or any other issue. This streamlined process will save you time and hassle when managing your time logs.

6. Additional Features

We’ve also added several smaller features that we believe will improve your day-to-day experience with the app.

  • Task Creation: Guards can now create both one-off and recurring tasks directly through the mobile app. Whether it’s a routine patrol, a specific duty, or an ad-hoc task, you can now create, manage, and track tasks directly from your phone. This feature improves task management and ensures you stay on top of your responsibilities.
  • Idle Alerts: If you’re idle for an extended period during your shift, the app will send you a prompting alert asking you to provide a reason for the inactivity. This feature ensures that guards remain engaged and productive, while also helping supervisors monitor shift efficiency.
  • Parking Manager Updates: The Parking Manager now includes the ability to add contacts and vehicles directly from the app. This makes it easier to keep track of who is parking in the lot, the type of vehicles they are driving, and any related details. The update streamlines your parking management tasks and keeps everything organized in one place.

7. Incident Reporting

Incident reporting is a critical part of ensuring safety and security at any site, and we’ve made some updates to improve how incidents are reported and categorized.

  • Enhanced Incident Categories: When submitting an incident report, you’ll now be able to select up to three incidents from a dropdown menu. This will help ensure that incidents are categorized correctly and that relevant details are captured efficiently. Whether it’s a security breach, an injury, or an unusual activity, the enhanced categorization makes it easier to analyze and respond to incidents promptly.
