QR Code & NFC Scanning

Your team scans checkpoints using QR codes or NFC tags with their smartphones. Each scan records the time, location, and operator identity automatically.

  • Print QR codes directly from dashboard
  • NFC tags for weatherproof checkpoints
  • Instant verification of guard presence
  • GPS-checked against each checkpoint’s location

Smart Forms

Build custom digital forms and checklists with a drag-free field builder, then attach them to checkpoints, patrols, or standalone tasks. Guards complete them on mobile — online or offline — and every submission is captured for reporting.

  • Custom fields: text, numbers, dropdowns, checkboxes, dates, photos, and signatures
  • Conditional logic that shows or hides fields based on answers
  • 2,000+ ready-made templates across 21 industries — start in seconds and tailor to your sites
  • Multi-photo capture with automatic background sync
  • Export submissions to branded PDF and CSV
  • Version history so report integrity is preserved when forms change

Readings & Appliance Checks

Log any numerical reading on the spot — fridge temperatures, pool chemicals, boiler pressures, meter readings. Staff scan the QR or NFC tag and enter the number; CheckTasks checks it against your limits and alerts you when it is out of range or missed. Included on every plan and switched on for your account on request.

  • Limits per appliance type, with per-appliance overrides and any unit
  • Out-of-range, due-soon and missed-check alerts by email
  • Corrective actions recorded against each reading
  • Trend charts, weekly compliance summary and CSV export
  • Out-of-service and seasonal closures
  • Step-by-step setup wizard

Route Management

Create custom patrol or inspection routes with ordered checkpoints. Define the sequence your team should follow and set time limits for each section.

  • Drag-and-drop route builderComing Soon
  • Enforce checkpoint sequence
  • Multiple routes per site
  • Route assignment via schedules

Schedule Management

Schedule patrols and checks for specific times and days — once, daily, weekly or monthly, with multiple time slots and overnight shifts. A calendar preview shows exactly what runs when.

  • Multiple labelled time slots per day
  • Overnight shifts that run past midnight
  • Calendar preview and drag-to-adjust slot timeline
  • Optional on-phone reminders before a patrol is due

Real-Time Tracking

Monitor patrol progress as it happens. See which checkpoints have been scanned and identify delays immediately.

  • Live patrol progress view
  • Daily patrol results email
  • Missed-checkpoint matrix by site and day

Task Management

Assign tasks at checkpoints or create standalone general tasks. Guards complete checklists, take photos, record notes, and capture signatures.

  • Checkpoint tasks (Standard and Observation types)
  • Standalone general tasks with scheduling
  • Photo evidence and digital signatures
  • GPS verification and priority levels

Incident Reporting

Guards can report incidents directly from the mobile app. Capture photos, add descriptions, and categorize issues for follow-up.

  • Photo attachments with GPS location
  • Video captureComing Soon
  • Incident categorization
  • Priority flagging
  • Emailed to the people you choose for each incident type

Offline Mode

The mobile app works without an internet connection. All scans and data are saved locally and sync automatically when back online.

  • Scans, forms, photos, incidents and sign-offs work offline
  • Automatic background sync
  • No lost data
  • Works in basements and remote areas

Reports & Analytics

Generate comprehensive reports on patrol completion, compliance rates, and guard performance. Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV.

  • Patrol, Compliance, Incident, and Missed Patrol reports
  • PDF, Excel, and CSV export
  • Scheduled report delivery via email
  • Charts and analytics dashboards

Staff Management

Manage your team with role-based access. Supervisors, managers, and field staff each see what they need.

  • Invite staff by email, with a step-by-step Guard Guide
  • Role-based permissions and site assignments
  • "Start Checks" wording for non-security staff
  • Guard activity reports

Alerts & Notifications

Patrols that are missed, started outside their schedule or left incomplete are flagged automatically, and managers are emailed and asked to record a reason.

  • Missed patrol alerts
  • Outside-schedule warnings
  • Incomplete patrol notifications
  • Missed-patrol reason requests by email

Location Tracking

Record a GPS trail while a patrol is in progress and see it against your checkpoints and floor plans — so you can see the route that was actually walked.

  • GPS trail during patrols
  • Floor plans with checkpoints placed on them
  • Location history kept 7–90 days — you choose
  • Switch tracking on or off for your company

Guard Compliance

Configure guard identification requirements for full accountability. Require ID, name, signature, selfie, or any combination at patrol start and completion.

  • Configurable ID requirements
  • Digital signature capture
  • Selfie verification
  • Insurance compliance mode

Compliance Beacon (IoT)

An optional wall-mounted device shows a live red, amber, or green light — and an audible alert — so anyone on site can instantly see whether patrols are running on schedule. No screen or login required.

  • At-a-glance red / amber / green status for the whole team
  • Configurable thresholds and audible alert tones
  • Scoped per site or to specific routes
  • Secure cloud polling with over-the-air firmware updates
  • Managed and monitored from your dashboard

Lone Worker SOS

An SOS button in the app for staff working alone. When pressed, CheckTasks attempts to alert your own supervisors and chosen contacts by email, with the worker’s location where available and a full audit trail. Self-monitored — it supports your duty of care but is not a replacement for a monitoring centre or 999.

  • Five-second cancel countdown to prevent false alarms
  • Clear sent / not-sent status on the phone
  • Supervisor acknowledgement and full escalation history
  • Switched on by your admin in company settings
