Security patrol software for Manchester teams
One UK-built app for patrols, inspections and lone-worker safety across Greater Manchester — QR & NFC scanning, full offline working and audit-ready reporting, on simple plans in pounds rather than per-guard pricing.
Manchester’s growth has reshaped what security teams are asked to cover: new commercial towers in Spinningfields and NOMA, the media campus at MediaCityUK, one of the country’s largest purpose-built student-accommodation sectors, and a night-time economy that runs seven days a week. CheckTasks gives contractors a single app to keep that sprawl accountable — guards scan QR or NFC checkpoints as they patrol, and each scan is logged with the time, the officer’s identity and a GPS position, so a skipped round is flagged automatically and emailed to your managers instead of coming up at the next client meeting.
A lot of Greater Manchester patrolling happens where signal drops out — tram-level service areas, basement plant rooms, multi-storey car parks and half-finished construction floors. CheckTasks records every scan, inspection form, photo and incident offline and syncs the moment a device reconnects, so the record is complete even on a dead-signal round.
And because patrols and a full inspection engine live in the same app, an officer can complete a void-property check, a student-block fire-door audit or a site H&S walk-round on the same visit — with every feature included on every plan, priced in pounds rather than per guard as you flex teams across shifts.
Everything Manchester teams need in one app
QR & NFC checkpoint scanning
Every scan is stamped with time, guard identity and GPS — verifiable proof a round was walked, not just signed off.
Patrols + inspections in one app
A full Smart Forms engine — 2,000+ templates, conditional logic, photos, signatures, branded PDFs — attached to the same checkpoints.
Works fully offline
Scans, forms and incidents are captured in lifts, basements and car parks and sync automatically when signal returns.
Lone-worker safety
SOS panic button escalates to your own supervisors with a full audit trail. Self-monitored; complementary to a certified ARC / 999.
Compliance Beacon (optional)
Red/amber/green patrol status on the wall, so the team sees the moment a round falls behind — not just head office, after the fact.
Audit-ready reporting
Missed-checkpoint matrix, real-time tracking and exportable reports your clients and auditors can actually trust.
For the pace and spread of Manchester contracts
Multi-site contractors across Greater Manchester juggle very different estates — corporate receptions, retail parks, student halls, construction logistics — often under tight, transparent client SLAs. CheckTasks reports against all of them in one place, with a missed-checkpoint matrix and exportable reports that clients and ACS auditors can actually trust, rather than a spreadsheet that gets argued over.
For lone and night officers covering quieter Manchester sites, CheckTasks Lone Worker adds an SOS panic button that escalates to your own supervisors and contacts, with a full auditable trail. It is self-monitored — escalation reaches your own people — and supports your duty of care under HSE lone-working guidance; it is complementary to, not a replacement for, a certified alarm-receiving centre or 999.
Predictable pricing matters most here: dollar-priced, per-guard platforms penalise the high-headcount student and events work Manchester is full of. CheckTasks plans are in pounds and sized by sites, checkpoints and staff logins — Standard covers up to 10 sites and 10 staff logins for £45/month, Premium unlimited sites and 20 logins for £75/month — with every feature on every plan.
Security patrol software in Manchester — your questions
Can Manchester security firms use CheckTasks across multiple sites?
Yes — it’s built for multi-site contractors. You set up each site, place QR or NFC checkpoints, and manage patrols, inspections and reporting for all of them from one dashboard, anywhere across Greater Manchester.
What does CheckTasks cost?
Plans start at £15/month + VAT for up to 3 sites and 3 staff logins, with Standard (£45/month, 10 sites, 10 staff logins) and Premium (£75/month, unlimited sites, 20 staff logins) for bigger operations — and every feature, from offline patrols to lone-worker SOS, is on every plan. You can start with a 30-day free trial; no credit card is needed, and nothing is charged automatically when it ends.
Does it keep working in basements and on construction sites?
Yes. CheckTasks works fully offline — scans, forms, photos and incidents are stored on the device through signal blackspots like plant rooms, car parks and part-built floors, then sync automatically when the device is back online.
Is there lone-worker protection for night officers?
Yes. CheckTasks Lone Worker offers an SOS panic button that escalates to your own supervisors with a full audit trail. It is self-monitored and supports your duty of care under HSE guidance — it is not an alarm-receiving centre, has no man-down detection, and is complementary to 999.
Can it handle inspections as well as guard tours?
Yes. The built-in Smart Forms engine covers fire-door checks, cleaning and void-property audits, H&S walk-rounds and more — 2,000+ templates with conditional logic, photos, signatures and branded PDF/CSV exports, attachable to the same checkpoints guards already scan.
