What Real-Link is for

Your clients want to see the work happening. Not just hear about it.

Security companies, FM contractors, airports and hotel groups all face the same challenge. They need to prove that patrols happened, that checks were done, that operatives were on site. Paper cannot do that convincingly.

Real-Link gives every client their own live portal showing exactly what happened on their site, when it happened and who did it. That transparency is a competitive advantage most of our customers say is the main reason they win and keep contracts.

How it works

Simple enough for a guard on a night shift. Powerful enough for a DfT auditor.

1
Tap the NFC tag
RFID tags are placed at every checkpoint, piece of equipment or inspection point. The guard or operative taps their device to the tag. The whole process takes under two seconds.
2
Record created instantly
Name, location, GPS coordinates and timestamp are captured the moment the tag is scanned. The record is in your portal before the operative has moved on to the next checkpoint.
3
Reports delivered automatically
Patrol reports, compliance summaries and attendance records are generated and sent to whoever needs them on a schedule you set. No one on your team has to compile or send them manually.
