How K9 Security Services Transformed Guard Patrols with Timeshot.io

Moving On from Old-School Guard Checks

K9 Security Services originally tracked their guards using a combination of timestamped photos and late-night phone calls. Every shift, staff would send evidence of their presence to the office, and managers would do routine check-ins.

This approach that was reliable and they used it for over 2 years but it became time consuming as they aquired new contracts.

They soon realised they needed an automated system, that they could deploy quickly and easily, with the abilty to send reports to the clients each day.

How Timeshot.io Made Staying on Track Easy and Stress Free

Implementing Timeshot.io changed everything. With simple QR code checkpoints, guards could scan and verify each patrol instantly from their mobile device.

If a guard forgot to scan or became inactive, the system would trigger an automatic email alert to the management team. Eliminating the need for disruptive after hours calls.

Timeshot.io gave K9 the power to upload incident reports and photos on the go, with every report immediately visible to supervisors. For client transparency, images and reports could be shared in real time.

Instead of printing pages of evidence, clients or managers could access images simply by scanning a QR code on the summary report, even if they needed to print it out!

Growing the Team Without the Headaches

They loved the results, K9 Security Services scaled seamlessly from 5 to 35 staff, winning new contracts with businesses requiring insurance compliant, digital reporting.

The old manual process of collecting images and piecing together spreadsheets was replaced. K9 were able to easily to review the currenly location of all their staff on shift, check where they had been, and for every client request they could now forfill within minutes.

Late night checkin phone calls no longer needed to take place. They would recieve an automatic email if any of their staff were inactive.

With Timeshot.io, K9 Security now offers clients automated compliance and round-the-clock transparency, standing out in a competitive market, and allowing them to aquire new contracts without increasing their administration workload.

Timeshot.io gave K9 Security Services the scalable, digital solution needed to impress clients and simplify guard oversight.

Automated, adaptable, and industry compliant, K9 can now focus on growth with the confidence that every detail is tracked and accounted for.
