Scheduling, live coverage, patrols and operational records.

Read the video text and visual description

This illustrated overview uses instrumental music, with no spoken narration. The sites, names, and figures shown are demonstration examples.

  1. Command tower. A blue tower connects to several site buildings. On-screen text introduces “A command tower for your security operation” and “Every site, guard and post in one calm view.”
  2. Scheduling. A schedule highlights coverage gaps and an approval workflow: gap detected, offer to qualified guards, approve, then notify and confirm. The text says, “AI finds the gap and triggers your workflow. You approve and notify.”
  3. Attendance. A demonstration site's coverage changes from three of four posts to four of four. A GPS clock-in card marks an officer verified on site. The caption reads, “Know every post is covered, with proof.”
  4. Patrol. An officer follows a route around a building. Five checkpoint markers turn green as the round progresses. The caption reads, “Checkpoints confirmed as they happen.”
  5. Records. An example credential register shows validity and renewal states beside an audit-pack panel for shift logs, GPS clock-ins, patrol checkpoints, and licence records. The caption reads, “Guard credentials tracked. Audit-ready reports in one click.” The SIA licence examples illustrate a UK workflow; they are not a claim of certification or automatic regulatory compliance.
  6. Closing. The connected sites and ShiftsGo logo appear with the message, “Every post covered. Every hour accounted for.” The music fades out.

Inside ShiftsGo

Schedule. Verify. Review.

The real product, not a mockup: the command center your supervisors and site leads use, shown with demo workspace data.

ShiftsGo dashboard showing total shifts, checked-in guards, late and missed counts, open incidents, and upcoming shifts.

Operations Command Center

Every shift today — checked-in, late, and missed — with open incidents and AI items needing review, on one screen.

ShiftsGo schedules screen with active shift series, upcoming shift instances, assigned guards, and statuses.

Shift Series Command

Recurring patrol routes and static posts with assigned personnel, upcoming instances, and understaffing flags.

Step 1

Schedule

  • Build schedules around recurring patrol routes and static posts.
  • Review coverage gaps and assigned officers in one place.
  • Officers can access schedules and shift reminders on their phones.

Step 2

Verify

  • Geofenced mobile clock-ins connect attendance to authorized locations.
  • GPS, QR, and NFC checkpoint records show patrol progress.
  • Review missed check-ins, late arrivals, and coverage gaps.

Step 3

Review

  • Incident reports with photos and a per-site log book with edit history.
  • Attendance records with verified hours, ready for payroll review.
  • Reports that support client billing and internal cost allocation.

Guard tour tracking

Patrol monitoring in real time

Live visibility into your officers’ recorded movements and checkpoint scans, whether you run mobile patrols, fixed posts, or both. Track, verify, and review your security operations from one place.

Confirm patrols were completed

Review recorded checkpoint activity against the patrol plan. Missed checkpoints are flagged so supervisors can follow up while the shift is still running.

Track guard patrols live

GPS and QR/NFC checkpoints help you see reported officer locations, completed scans, and patrol progress.

Enterprise

Dedicated environments for enterprise security teams

For organizations with stricter data, security, or operational requirements, Sentinel can be deployed in a dedicated custom environment. Discuss environment isolation, regional hosting, access controls, integrations, and implementation requirements with our team.

Dedicated environment

A custom-configured Sentinel deployment for your organization.

Implementation planning

Discuss sites, rosters, checkpoints, integrations, and reporting requirements.

Enterprise pricing

Discuss a commercial agreement for your coverage and deployment requirements.

Rollout and support

Discuss rollout, training, and ongoing support requirements with our team.

Coverage-based pricing

Pay for the coverage you run, not the size of your workforce.

ShiftsGo prices committed coverage: static posts, mobile patrols, and contract or program demand. Add officers, supervisors, dispatchers, and replacements without turning every roster change into a bigger software bill.

Unlimited guards

Roster growth and replacements do not create per-seat charges.

Posts + patrols

One model covers static security posts and mobile patrol visits together.

Proof included

Scheduling, GPS attendance, QR/NFC scans, incident reports, and Shift Replay.

Coverage-first

The bill changes with the coverage you run, rather than your roster size.

Setup

Start with your existing sites and guard roster

Import Canadian sites, branch locations, and officer rosters with CSV templates, then roll out by site, region, or province without rebuilding records manually.

01

Import sites with a template

Download the site CSV template during setup and bring active locations, branches, and core site records into ShiftsGo without rebuilding them one by one.

02

Upload guard rosters fast

Use the guard CSV template to import your officers, contact details, and starting roster data before you assign the first shift.

03

Roll out site by site

Import only the contract, site, branch, or patrol team you want to launch first, prove the workflow live, and then expand with less operational risk.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions security teams ask before switching to ShiftsGo.

Does ShiftsGo work for in-house security departments as well as contractors?

Yes. Sentinel supports contract, in-house, and hybrid teams with schedules, attendance, patrol checkpoints, incident records, and shift replay. Teams can share relevant operational evidence with clients and internal stakeholders.

What is ShiftsGo for Canadian security teams?

ShiftsGo is security guard scheduling and proof-of-patrol software for Canadian contract, in-house, and hybrid security teams. It combines GPS guard tracking, geofenced clock-ins, QR/NFC checkpoint scans, daily activity reports, incident reports, shift replay, and real-time coverage alerts for Canadian sites and patrol routes.

Can ShiftsGo support static posts and mobile patrols in Canada?

Yes. ShiftsGo supports static posts, mobile patrol routes, condo and commercial security, construction sites, industrial facilities, and branch-based teams across Canada.

How does GPS guard tracking work in ShiftsGo?

Guards clock in from the ShiftsGo mobile app. Geofenced locations confirm the guard is on site, and live GPS streams patrol movement so Canadian supervisors and clients can verify presence in real time.

Does ShiftsGo support QR code and NFC checkpoint scanning?

Yes. Guards scan QR codes or tap NFC tags at checkpoints to prove patrol completion. Every scan is time-stamped, GPS-stamped, and stored for client-ready proof of service.

Can Canadian clients see patrol proof and daily activity reports?

Yes. ShiftsGo records daily activity reports, incident reports, checkpoint scans, visitor logs, and shift replay evidence so clients can review what happened on site without waiting for manual paperwork.

Can ShiftsGo detect a no-show shift?

Yes. ShiftsGo detects missed clock-ins and coverage gaps in real time, then alerts supervisors so Canadian operators can recover the shift as soon as a gap is identified.

How much does ShiftsGo cost for Canadian operators?

ShiftsGo Operations is $200 CAD/month or $2,000 CAD/year with two months free. The monthly allowance includes 48 static guard-hours per calendar day. Static coverage uses one Operations Credit per committed guard-hour and each completed patrol visit uses one credit. Additional credits are invoiced monthly using graduated rates starting at $0.10 CAD for monthly contracts or $0.08 CAD for annual contracts; usage above 100,000 credits requires an Enterprise review. Self-service checkout is available in Sentinel.

Can we import existing Canadian sites and guards?

Yes. During setup you can download CSV templates for sites and guards, import branch locations and roster data, and roll out by contract, region, or province.

Is shiftsgo.ca the Canadian ShiftsGo site?

Yes. shiftsgo.ca is the Canadian domain for ShiftsGo marketing, pricing, and demo requests for Canadian security operations.
