The pain

  • Guards rotate across sites — fingerprint scanners can't follow them
  • Police verification and contract expiry tracked on paper
  • Client invoicing requires manually reconciling deployment registers

How HelloTime fixes it

  • Face match against the site's enrolled guards — sub-second on-tablet
  • Document expiry alerts (police verification, contract end) per worker
  • Per-site deployment register exports straight into client invoices via HelloBooks

How a security & guarding agency team rolled this out.

Security & guarding agencies · Chennai, India · 60 workers · anonymized

Time to deliver client SLA proof: 5–7 days (faxed register) → Same day (digital export)

“Our clients used to wait a week for the deployment register. Now they get a clean export on the morning of day one of the next month — and we got our money's worth in the first cycle.”

Frequently asked questions

What is a security guard attendance app?

A security guard attendance app records when and where guards start and end their shifts. HelloTime adds face verification, mock-location detection and site geofencing so agencies can prove deployment to clients.

How does HelloTime stop fake-location clock-ins?

HelloTime combines GPS geofencing, mock-location detection and photo verification. Guards can only clock in inside the authorised site boundary, and suspicious events are flagged for manager review.

Can guards rotate across sites without a hardware install?

Yes. Each site uses a shared Android handset or the guard's own phone. The guard's face is enrolled against the site, so they can rotate across locations without carrying or installing new hardware.

How are police-verification documents tracked?

Upload police verification, contract and ID documents per worker. HelloTime sends expiry alerts before documents lapse, helping agencies stay compliant and avoid client SLA penalties.

Is there a client reporting view for security agencies?

Per-site deployment registers can be exported from HelloTime and shared with clients as attendance proof. Invoicing-ready exports to HelloBooks are also available.

Does HelloTime work for contract security guards?

Yes. Contract guards are onboarded as ContractWorkers, so agencies do not pay a payroll seat per guard. WhatsApp self-onboarding is supported.
