A UK security company managing vacant property patrols replaced paper patrol logs with NFC-verified guard tour records. Every checkpoint scan produces a timestamped and GPS-verified record available to clients immediately, resolving attendance disputes before they start.
Vacant property insurance typically requires evidence of regular security patrols as a condition of cover. Insurers and loss adjusters do not accept handwritten patrol logs as reliable evidence when a claim is made. A timestamped, GPS-verified digital record produced at the checkpoint is a different category of evidence entirely, and it is the standard that professional security clients increasingly expect.
Vacant property contracts rely on proof of attendance. Clients pay for patrols and need to know they happened. With paper logs, a client questioning whether a patrol took place had nothing objective to look at until the following day, and even then a handwritten timestamp cannot be verified.
NFC tags were placed at each checkpoint on every site including entrance gates, perimeter points, key buildings and any location specified in the patrol specification. Guards scan each point during the patrol. Every scan records the guard's identity, the exact time and the GPS location of the device.
Patrol rounds were configured with the checkpoint sequence and time windows for each site and progress can be tracked live, remotely. Clients have their own read-only access showing their site's patrol status in real time.
The operations manager has live visibility across all sites from a single view. Supervisors receive alerts the moment a checkpoint is missed. Clients have stopped querying patrol confirmation because they can see the information themselves.
Real-Link gives your clients real-time proof of every patrol and alerts you instantly when something is missed.
