Do team members need NFC tags at each checkpoint?

NFC tags are the most secure verification method, but you can also use QR codes (printed or displayed) or GPS proximity. Mix and match per checkpoint.

Can clients see route completion?

Yes. Property managers see real-time route progress and completion history in the Client Portal. You can also auto-send PDF reports.

What if a team member misses a checkpoint?

The system flags missed checkpoints in real time. You can configure alerts to notify supervisors, and the exception appears in completion reports.

Can I create routes on mobile?

Routes are created and edited on the web dashboard. Team members follow assigned routes on the mobile app with turn-by-turn guidance.

What you get with Routes & Patrols

Plan patrol routes with checkpoints. Track patrol tour completion in real time. NFC, QR, and GPS verification at every stop.

Route Builder

Drag and drop checkpoints on the map to build patrol routes. Set expected duration, sequence, and verification method per stop.

Checkpoint Verification

Team members verify each checkpoint via NFC tag scan, QR code, or GPS proximity. No cheating — every scan is timestamped and geolocated.

Time Tracking

See exactly when each checkpoint was hit and how long the entire route took. Compare against expected duration.

Missed Stop Alerts

Get notified if a team member skips a checkpoint or falls behind schedule. Escalate automatically to supervisors.

Recurring Schedules

Schedule routes to repeat hourly, daily, or on custom intervals. Assign to specific team members or rotate across the team.

Completion Reports

Generate PDF reports showing route completion, timestamps, and any exceptions. Share with clients for proof of service.

Works great with

NFC & QR

Verify team member patrol checkpoints with NFC tags and QR codes. Tamper-proof, geolocated, and timestamped scans for proof of presence.

Geofencing

Create geofences and location zones. Get automatic alerts when team members enter or leave areas. Track time on site and enforce coverage.

Task Management

Create, assign, and track tasks across your team. Templates, priorities, due dates, recurring tasks, kanban boards, and map-pinned tasks.
