Security companies need accountability, not guesswork

Your clients trust you to keep their sites covered. Here's how to actually prove it.

The accountability gap
  • Guards clocking in from their car, not on-site
  • No idea if the night shift actually showed up
  • Last-minute callouts with no replacement
  • Paper logs that don't prove anything
  • High turnover making training a nightmare
With Turnozo
  • GPS verification confirms they're on location
  • Real-time dashboard shows who's working where
  • Instant notifications + quick shift reassignment
  • GPS-logged clock-in for every shift
  • Simple app that new guards learn in minutes

GPS Clock-in

Prove guards are on-site — not in their car

GPS time tracking ensures every clock-in is logged with the actual location. No more buddy punching, no more \\

GPS-verified locations

Set a radius for each client site. Guards can only clock in when physically there.

Override with reason

GPS issues? Guards can still clock in with a logged reason. Flexibility without losing accountability.

Location logged permanently

Every clock event stores GPS coordinates. Proof for clients, evidence for disputes.

Real-time visibility

See every site. Right now.

One schedule showing all your client sites and which guards are on-duty. Staff manage their own availability.

Security staffing: why scheduling is your biggest operational cost

Security companies run on thin margins where every unfilled post and every overtime hour eats into profit. Scheduling isn't admin work. It's the core of the business.

100-400%

Annual guard turnover rate

The highest of any industry. Some security companies replace their entire workforce 2-4 times per year. At $1,200-$1,800 per replacement (recruiting, training, uniforms), a 50-guard company can lose $60K-$360K annually just to churn.

Annual security job openings in the US

0% employment growth but massive replacement demand. The industry isn't shrinking. It's a revolving door. Guards who get predictable schedules and fair hour distribution stay longer.

Coverage requirement for most contracts

Security posts can't go unmanned. A gap at 3 AM is a contract violation, not just an inconvenience. Automated scheduling with real-time gap detection catches coverage holes before they become client complaints.

65-75%

Labor as percentage of contract value

When three-quarters of your revenue goes to labor, overtime miscalculations and overstaffing destroy margins. Real-time hour tracking prevents the $2/hour overtime surprise that turns a profitable contract into a loss.

Security scheduling challenges

1

Multi-site post coverage

One company, 15 client sites, each with different coverage requirements. Some need 1 guard, some need 6. Each site has specific shift times, credentials needed, and minimum staffing levels. One dashboard to see all gaps across all sites.

2

License and certification tracking

Guards need active licenses, specific clearances for certain sites, and up-to-date training. Scheduling an unlicensed guard to a post is a compliance violation. Software that tracks credentials prevents it automatically.

3

Fair hour distribution

Guards who consistently get bad shifts (overnight, weekends, holidays) quit faster. Tracking hours per guard and rotating fairly is the single biggest retention lever that costs nothing. Most scheduling software makes this visible at a glance.
