General Questions
You can start in under 48 hours. OnDuty is cloud-based with zero installation — just sign up, import your team (or add manually), and create your first shift. Most companies go live within 2 days, and we provide onboarding support to ensure smooth adoption.
Yes. OnDuty is mobile-first and built for real guards in the field. One-tap check-ins, GPS patrol tracking, and quick photo/incident reporting work just like WhatsApp or SMS — no manuals or training required. Adoption is over 98%, because if guards don't use it, the system doesn't work.
OnDuty automatically generates real-time reports showing patrol completion, incident logs, and guard attendance. Clients can access live dashboards or receive scheduled reports via email — giving them full visibility without extra admin work on your side. It's proof of service delivery that builds trust and retention.
Absolutely. OnDuty maintains complete audit trails for every shift, patrol, and incident. All data is timestamped, GPS-verified, and stored securely in the EU. You can export compliance reports anytime, and our system helps track guard certifications, training renewals, and regulatory requirements automatically.
OnDuty is purpose-built for 24/7 security operations, not adapted from generic workforce tools.
