Security company software · South Africa

Run your security company from one app

Patrolly puts guard patrols, the occurrence book, incident reports, the control room, PSIRA permits and rosters on one screen. Guards use it on their own phones. You see everything, live.

  • Works on any phone, no app store
  • Made for PSIRA-regulated companies
  • Free live demo with your sites

Guard app

Guards get a simple app on their own phones

No app store and no new devices. A guard opens a web link, adds it to the home screen and uses it like any other app.

  • Start the shift and check in at the site
  • Scan the QR code at every patrol checkpoint
  • Log visitors, vehicles and incidents with photos
  • Press and hold SOS to alert the control room

Control room

The control room sees every alarm

New alarms land on one board. Pick the nearest responder, send them, and the clock starts. Every step is timed and saved.

  • New alarms, sent responders, on-scene and closed jobs on one board
  • The nearest free responder is suggested, with arrival time
  • The site contact gets an email automatically
  • One click makes the incident report PDF

PSIRA permits

No guard works on an expired permit

Patrolly keeps every guard’s PSIRA card, firearm competency, driver’s permit and training certificates. It warns you early, and it will not let you roster a guard whose card has expired.

  • Warnings 90, 60 and 30 days before expiry
  • The guard, supervisor and HR are all told
  • Expired guards are blocked from the roster
  • Documents are stored for each guard

Rosters

Build the roster on screen

Day and night shifts for every post in one week view. Open posts show in red. When you publish, guards see their shifts on their phones.

  • Day and night shifts for every post
  • Open posts and blocked guards are flagged
  • Guards see their shifts on their phones
  • Hours export for payroll

The difference

From paper and WhatsApp to one app

Without Patrolly

  • Paper occurrence books
  • Excel rosters and phone calls to change shifts
  • PSIRA and firearm permits expire and nobody notices
  • Incident photos scattered across WhatsApp groups
  • Vehicle bookings by phone, arguments about damage
  • Reports typed up by hand every month

With Patrolly

  • Occurrence book on the phone, with time, place and photos
  • Roster built on screen, guards see their shifts on their phones
  • Warnings 90, 60 and 30 days before expiry
  • Incident reports with photos, location and signature in one place
  • One booking calendar, photos and a signed hand-over
  • Client reports made in one click

Locked down from the first login

Security company data is sensitive. Patrolly is built that way.

Invite-only logins

No public sign-up. Everyone is invited by email and sets their own password.

A phone code for everyone

Every user adds an authenticator app, so a stolen password is not enough.

South Africa only

Logins from other countries are blocked.

Everything is logged

The app saves who did what, and when.

Questions

Common questions

Not here? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer.

Do guards need to download an app from an app store?
No. They open a web link on their own phone and add it to the home screen. It works on Android phones and iPhones.
Can we use our own logo and name?
Yes. We set Patrolly up with your logo, your colours and your own web address, for example ops.yourcompany.co.za.
Does Patrolly replace our alarm monitoring software?
No. Patrolly sits next to it. Your operators log the job in Patrolly, send a responder and time the response. We can connect to your alarm software later if you need it.
Do we need special devices or tags?
No. Guards use their own phones. Checkpoints are QR codes that you print and stick up.
Is our data safe, and where is it kept?
Logins are invite-only with a phone code, access is limited to South Africa, everything is logged and the data is backed up daily. The servers are in Germany, behind Cloudflare. Read more on the security page.
How much does it cost?
It depends on which parts you switch on and how many people use it. Message us for a free demo and a quote. See how pricing works.
