Guard Scheduling

Security Guard Scheduling Software That actually works.

Build rosters in minutes, not hours. PatrolPilot automatically checks licences, prevents overtime conflicts and notifies guards instantly.

Manual roster building is one of the biggest time drains for security operations managers. PatrolPilot's scheduling module automates the hard parts — licence checks, conflict detection, and guard notifications — so you can build a week's schedule in minutes instead of hours. Used by security companies across the USA, Canada, UK, UAE and Singapore.

Drag-and-Drop Roster

Build shifts visually with drag-and-drop. Assign guards to sites and shifts with a single click. Colour-coded by site, shift type or guard.

Licence Compliance Checks

Automatically validates that every guard scheduled has a valid, current security licence and required certifications before confirming the shift.

Instant Guard Notifications

Guards receive push notifications the moment they're rostered, with shift details, site address and reporting instructions.

Shift Swaps & Cover

Guards request shift swaps directly in the app. Managers approve with one tap. Automatic conflict and licence checking throughout.

Overtime & Availability Rules

Set maximum hours, minimum rest periods and availability windows. The scheduler flags and prevents rule violations automatically.

Multi-Site Management

Schedule across unlimited sites from one view. Filter by site, guard, shift type or date range. Copy weekly rosters in one click.
