How it works
- Mount ID points at every place that must be checked. They are wireless and need no batteries.
- Guards clock the points with a baton, or with a phone using a QR sticker, an NFC tag or GPS.
- You see what happened. With Tagtough, download the baton and read the report. With Suga Blu or the Remote Uploader, every clocking is online in real time.
- You are told when something is wrong. Alerts for a missed patrol are sent directly to you by Telegram, email, GuardSense or the eOB.

More than guard patrols
The same system proves that nurses did their rounds, that a freezer was checked, that a truck left with its first aid kit, and that a machine operator took a rest break, with documented proof of OHS compliance. See how it is used by industry.

By industry
Security
Are your guards making the patrols your client is paying for?
Mining and construction
Do you have a fatigue management system you can prove is followed?
Agriculture
How do you manage farm staff spread over a large area?
Hospitality
Is the freezer being checked? How about the bathrooms?

Movable assets are hard to keep track of. Make sure they do not grow feet.
Healthcare
Do the nurses do the rounds they say they do?
