Measuring guard patrol performance and compliance



    

If your company is experiencing difficulties with guard patrol performance and compliance, try using our new NFC guard tour monitoring system. Our newly launched Android app, the inViu NFC-tracker, combined with NFC tags and an NFC-capable smartphone can remotely track and manage tasks, patrol routes, and guard activity using Near Field Communiation technology. 

Guards are equipped with NFC-enabled smartphones while NFC tags are mounted onto every patrol check point. These guards would then scan the NFC tags with their phones throughout their tour, which collects the check-in times at each check point. The phone then stores the information and sends it to the ENAiKOON servers for further analysis through the online web portal, inViu pro. These NFC tags can store data, such as patrol requests and specific tasks for the guards, which makes task delegation and training easier for the managers. When combined with the tour-checker plugin, the system can monitor guard activities and detect delays in scheduled guard tour patrols, allowing management to give real-time feedback to guards and react promptly to unforeseen security issues. 
The NFC tracking system is low cost compared to other tracking systems as the only hardware needed is an off-the-shelf NFC-capable Android smartphone.  There are many tracking possibilities as NFC tags can take almost any size, shape, or form. Paperless accounting, real-time tracking, and optimised employee management are just some of the features of the inViu NFC-tracker system. For security companies, it improves the accuracy of patrol reports, guard compliance, internal communication, and emergency response time. 
What sets inViu NFC-tracker apart from the other NFC apps is its backend software. inViu pro is an intelligent and adaptable online asset tracking and management software. With an inViu pro account, users can synchronise their account with the inViu NFC-tracker app, which sends all scanned information to the ENAiKOON server. Users can remotely view the collected data with any web browser. From the online web portal, users can further analyse the collected data, export it into reports, or share with other authorised users.

inViu NFC-tracker is now available for download on Google Play [1]. To learn more about the inViu NFC-tracker and NFC technology, please visit www.nfc-tracker.com [2].
