Attendance tracking for private security companies

In a security company, your guards are spread across posts at different clients, day and night. What you need to know is simple: whether each guard reached their post on time and who relieved them. Zeprub shows you that without a supervisor driving from post to post.

What happens in private security

An uncovered post is a problem with your client. When attendance depends on a call or a message from the guard, there's no way to check what time they arrived or whether they were at the post.

On top of that, night shifts and handovers make each guard's hours hard to add up for payroll.

How Zeprub solves it

Each post is created as a location, with its point on the map and its clock-in zone. You can require a selfie at the posts you choose. Every punch saves the time, the distance to the post and the photo, and the ones that don't add up are flagged.

Zeprub also flags punches from a new phone and two punches in places too far apart to travel in that time. A schedule can end the next day, so the night shift counts for the day it starts.

  • One clock-in zone per post or per client
  • A selfie with every punch, only at the posts you choose
  • Night shifts and night hours kept apart in the summary
  • Each area supervisor approves their guards' overtime

The home screen shows how many guards are present and who hasn't clocked in yet.

Frequently asked questions

Can I check that the guard clocked in at their post?

Yes. Every punch saves the location at that moment and the distance to the post. If they clock in outside the zone, the punch is flagged or not allowed, depending on the rule you choose.

How do I know the guard clocked in and not a coworker?

The guard clocks in with the fingerprint or face on their own phone, and if you turn on selfies, every punch includes a photo taken at that moment. A punch from a new phone is flagged.

Does it work with night shifts?

Yes. The schedule can end the next day and the shift counts for the day it starts. Night hours are split out according to the night hours you set up.

Can my clients see the attendance?

No. Zeprub is for your company: you and the people on your team you give access to see attendance, each according to their role.
