Skillweb has launched a proof of attendance tool to enable guardforces to keep track of their employees in the field. SmartTask Security is described as a mobile application for the workflow management of manned and mobile security staff by ensuring scheduled visits and patrols are being made and critical work is being undertaken.
SmartTask Security uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology installed on mobile phones. QR Codes can also be used. Security personnel log in to the system and swipe the phone over a unique ID tag or QR Code label, at a point or points of a customer’s premises to record arrival and departure times.
For example, for event security it will be possible to monitor a team to better understand when an operative has checked-in at each location of a site or venue. This will enable them to ensure service level agreements are being met and provide peace of mind to the customer.
The captured information can be viewed in real-time by a manager or administrator in-office via PC or outside via a net-enabled tablet device. Data can be exported into Excel or an existing back-office system. This provides data to monitor performance that can also be shared with customers.
Paul Ridden, Managing Director of Skillweb, said: “SmartTask Security delivers a simple and 100 per cent accurate means of monitoring proof of attendance by remote security operatives. Customer satisfaction and peace of mind is critical within the security guard sector, so this innovative approach offers an effective way of immediately monitoring and verifying completed visits, rounds and patrols to ensure high levels of safety, protection and service delivery.”
Skillweb adds that it has a number of free trials available for early adopters. Register at http://contact.skillweb.co.uk/start-your-free-30-day-trial-of-smarttask-for-security-here/Default.aspx.
