Platform · Guard App
Clock in, run the post, leave a record.
Arcova Guard App gives officers one fast path for attendance, patrols, incidents, and dispatch updates — while ops gets verified records for payroll, billing, and client reporting.

The Guard App produces the GPS-verified clock-in and the field record attached to the shift.
See the whole chainWhy field apps lose the shift
When the app is slow or unclear, officers fall back to calls and paper. Coverage gaps, weak incident records, and payroll cleanup follow.
No-shows surface after the client notices
Without live attendance and dispatch status, coverage gaps hit the post before ops can intervene.
Incidents get written up too late
Paper notes and delayed DARs leave thin evidence trails when a client or insurer asks what happened.
Payroll and billing wait on cleanup
Disconnected timesheets force the office to reconcile hours before invoices and pay can move.
How it works
From assigned shift to approved service proof
One field loop: clock in, run the post, capture the record, approve once for payroll and billing.
- 1
Take the shift with site context
Guards open the assignment with timing, location, and post guidance — not a separate packet.
- 2
Clock in with location evidence
Mobile attendance captures geofence and timestamp so shift start records hold up in review.
- 3
Run post orders and patrols
Instructions, checkpoints, and tasks stay in one app while the officer is on duty.
- 4
Capture DARs and incidents at source
Narrative, timeline, and supporting detail land while the event is still fresh.
- 5
Approve once for payroll and billing
Approved shift records feed downstream workflows so finance stops re-keying field time.
The shift, from the guard’s screen
The same shift history serves the field and the desk — without rebuilding the day in a group chat.
Time and attendance on the phone
Clock-in/out, break status, and approval trails reduce disputes before payroll week.
Dispatch status without radio chase
Supervisors see live field status and task completion without calling every post.
Credential-aware staffing signals
Assignment context stays tied to qualifications so non-compliant coverage is harder to staff.
