The Problem

Security Teams Struggle to Manage Their Workforce

Scheduling chaos, time theft, and a manual payroll process are costing you time, money and peace of mind.

No-shows, call-offs, & 
scheduling nightmares

Last-minute callouts, double-booked officers, and dark posts create chaos. You're constantly playing catch-up instead of staying ahead of security needs.

Time theft and runaway overtime eats into profits

Chasing timesheets, identifying officer overlap, and controlling OT is taking too long. Your officers are working longer than intended and reconciling timesheets is tough.

Payroll calculations & data entry takes days

Juggling calculations for OT, holidays, shift differentials, and post rates makes payroll a headache. You're spending hours on calculations & hand-keying data.

How real-time communication leads to workforce consitency

Paper logs, missed checkpoints, and scheduling chaos are costing you time, money, and peace of mind. These outdated methods put your sites and reputation at risk.

FAQs

What is Belfry's Security Guard Patrol App?

Belfry is a complete solution for security guard companies managing a roster of officers. Guards can download the app, choose the shifts that suits them and instantly see the patrol routes, checkpoints and post orders they need. In real-time, operations staff can track guard locations on a web dashboard and monitor incoming incident reports directly from guards.

Where can officers and back office staff access the app?

The Belfry app is available on iPhone and Android. Operations staff can access Belfry via a web interface on their desktop or laptop computer, or use the Belfry app on the go.

Is Belfry suitable for small security companies?

While there's no minimum employee requirement, companies with 10 or more security officers benefit most from management software like Belfry. However, if your guards patrol multiple sites or work solo shifts, Belfry can help you track their activities and eliminate paperwork regardless of team size.

Can Belfry integrate with our existing systems?

Belfry typically replaces scheduling, reporting, time & attendance, and payroll systems that firms previously had in place. Our onboarding team will help assess your existing setup and ensure smooth processes during implementation.

What's the difference between QR codes and NFC for checkpoints?

Both verify officer locations, but NFC tags are faster (just tap) and more secure, while QR checkpoint scans can be spoofed easily. NFC costs more upfront but provides better tamper resistance and quicker check-ins for high-frequency patrol routes.

How is Belfry priced?

Belfry uses competitive & comprehensive per-user pricing, so you pay based on the size of your organization. No nickel-and-diming - a simple per-user price ensures predictability.
