The most complete security workforce management system ever built. Real-time operations, intelligent scheduling, compliance automation, and full financial management from one dashboard.
Security companies today operate on fragmented systems.
A typical security operation uses separate tools for scheduling, GPS tracking, invoicing, HR management, compliance tracking, and client communication. Data lives in silos. Supervisors toggle between five applications to answer a single question. Guards in the field have no unified mobile experience. Compliance violations slip through because certifications are tracked in spreadsheets.
ByDuty replaces all of it with one integrated platform, purpose-built for the security industry, designed for organizations managing anywhere from 50 to 500,000 guards.
Three applications, one unified system.
Everything a security operation needs, running in real time.
Live guard positions on an interactive map with sub-second updates. Battery level, speed, and heading. Full location history. Engineered to handle over 1,000 GPS updates per second.
Drag-and-drop shift scheduling with conflict detection, overtime calculation, and position requirements. Recurring templates auto-generate weekly schedules. Shift swap requests with approval workflows.
Full task lifecycle: create, assign, accept, en-route, arrive, complete. Auto-numbering, guard assignment with proximity awareness, and a real-time dispatch dashboard.
QR, NFC, barcode, and GPS-virtual checkpoint scanning for verifiable patrol rounds. Custom tour sequences, missed checkpoint alerts, and time-stamped verification with photo evidence.
Field-submitted incident reports with photo and video evidence, GPS coordinates, and severity classification. 13 incident types, escalation workflows, and trend analytics.
Polygon and radius-based geofence zones around every site. Automatic alerts when guards leave designated areas. Site-specific access instructions and emergency procedures.
One-touch SOS panic button and silent duress codes. Guards enter a hidden code to trigger alerts without the threat knowing. Automated escalation protocols for immediate response.
Digital visitor registry with check-in and check-out, pre-approval lists, and blacklist enforcement. Complete audit trail of every visitor at every site.
Complete employee lifecycle from hire to retire.
Invoicing, payroll, and expense management, fully integrated.
Auto-generate client invoices from shift data. Line items, tax rates, payment terms, and aging reports. Full accounts receivable dashboard.
Calculate regular, overtime, and premium pay automatically. Armed and unarmed rate differentials. Deduction management. Exportable payroll runs.
Configurable billing rates per client, service type, shift type, and time period. The billing engine uses rate cards to generate accurate invoices automatically.
Field submission of expenses with receipt uploads. Approval workflows with manager sign-off. Category tracking and reimbursement processing.
Every communication channel, built in.
Direct, group, dispatch, and site-based conversations. Read tracking and unread counts. Guards, supervisors, and clients communicate without leaving the platform.
Organizations connect their own email domains. Full inbox, compose with rich text editor, threading, custom folders, and starred messages. No external email tool required.
Organization-wide or site-specific emergency alerts with GPS radius targeting. SMS delivery tracking and guard acknowledgment confirmation.
Digital shift handoff between guards. Critical information, ongoing incidents, and site-specific instructions passed seamlessly between shifts.
Every workflow your operation touches.
Physical penetration testing, vulnerability logging, and assessment reports. Manage offensive security engagements alongside day-to-day operations. No other platform offers this.
Firearms and equipment tracking with check-in/out logs, maintenance schedules, and chain-of-custody records.
Vehicle profiles, patrol routes, maintenance scheduling, mileage logging, and fleet-wide reporting.
Vehicle registration, permit management, violation charging, and tow service integration.
Report, track, and resolve maintenance issues across all sites. Photo documentation, priority levels, assignment workflows, and completion verification.
Integrate surveillance infrastructure directly into the command center. Camera-triggered alerts, alarm-based auto-dispatch, and unified monitoring across all sites.
Natural language interface to the entire platform.
92 AI-callable tools connected to every module in the system. Administrators ask questions in plain English and the assistant executes the action directly. Voice input supported. Streaming responses with real-time tool activity indicators.
The AI layer transforms complex multi-step operations into single-sentence commands, dramatically reducing administrative overhead.
