Why paper books let you down

Entries get lost

Pages are torn out, books go missing and handwriting cannot be read.

Times are not trusted

A paper entry can be written later, and nobody can prove when.

Nothing to show the client

A client asks what happened last Tuesday night, and someone has to dig through a book.

What goes into each entry

The guard picks the type and writes a short note. Patrolly adds the rest.

  • The time, set by the system, not typed by the guard
  • The site and the guard who wrote it
  • The type: visitor, vehicle, handover, incident or note
  • Photos taken on the phone
  • The phone’s location when the entry was saved

Handover notes that stick

The outgoing guard writes the handover. The next guard sees it when they start their shift, and supervisors can add their own instructions.

  • Handover notes carry over to the next shift
  • Supervisors add instructions for the shift
  • Everything stays on record

Questions

Common questions

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

Can entries be changed afterwards?
A saved entry is locked. If something was wrong, the guard adds a correction. The original stays on record.
Will our clients accept a digital occurrence book?
Many clients prefer it, because they can see entries and reports quickly. Check your contract for any wording about paper books, and ask us if you want help.
What if a guard’s phone is lost or broken?
Entries are saved on the server as soon as they are sent, not only on the phone.
Can we still print it?
Yes. Any day, site or search can be printed or saved as a PDF.
