01 · What this fixes

If any of this sounds like your week, keep reading.

The client asks for proof and you have none

A paper occurrence book proves nothing at 02:00. Every checkpoint scan is time-stamped, geo-stamped, and lands in the client report on its own.

Guards off post and you find out too late

A live map, geofenced posts and alerts on missed checkpoints. The control room knows within minutes instead of at hand-over.

Radios that cost more than the contract earns

Push-to-talk runs over data on the terminal the guard already carries. No repeater, no licence renewal, no second handset to lose.

Devices used for everything except the job

The Commander terminal is MDM-locked to your apps only. No browsing, no data burn, no sideloaded games on your asset.

Patrol proof

Every checkpoint is time-stamped and geo-stamped as it is scanned, with the form the guard completed at that post attached to it, and every push-to-talk call logged on the same timeline. A missed one escalates before your client notices.

02 · What the control room gets

One platform.One login.

Everything a guarding operation is actually judged on: presence, proof and response time.

One operator, every site. Not five tabs and a WhatsApp group.

Live GPS & geofenced posts

Every guard on one map in real time. Leaving a post raises an alert before the client notices.

Every point on the route, scanned where it stands. Nothing typed up afterwards.

NFC & QR patrol proof

Tag the checkpoints, set the route and the interval. Missed scans escalate automatically.

Panic pressed, control room notified, response logged — with the times attached.

Panic, SOS & man-down

One press, or no movement at all, opens an incident in the control room with position and the nearest responders.

Site channelsGroup callsCalls recordedNo repeater

Push-to-talk over data

Site channels, group calls and recorded traffic on the terminal itself. No handset, no repeater infrastructure.

The kit

The rugged device kit

One locked, pre-loaded device. Ready on day one.

We ship the device already enrolled, already configured to your sites, and locked to your apps only. Hand it to a guard at parade and the shift starts. No setup, no training day, nothing for them to break.

We scope the rollout — how many terminals, which sites, what gets installed — during the audit below. Nothing to configure before then.

03 · The rest of the site

We supply and installthe equipment too.

Contract signed on Friday? We equip the site and have it delivered, installed and live before the first shift.

“The functionality that allows us to assign tasks to officers during their patrols is a true game-changer. The support team at Atex Solutions has also been outstanding. Always responsive, knowledgeable, and ready to assist.”
