Feature by feature
What each company's website says today. “Not published” means we could not find it on their site, not that the product lacks it.
| Guardix | TrackTik | |
|---|---|---|
| Guard tours and checkpoints | Yes, in every plan. Checkpoints are NFC tags, QR codes or GPS points: officers scan each tag or check in at each GPS point and add the photos and answers the site needs; managers review completed and outstanding checkpoints. A GPS check-in needs a data connection and is weaker proof than an NFC tag.source | Yes. Step-by-step tours in the guard app, with GPS, NFC or QR checkpoints and real-time alerts to supervisors for missed checkpoints.source |
| Incident and daily activity reports | Yes. Officers write reports on the phone with photos stamped with the time and place; managers export them as a PDF.source | Yes. Mobile incident reporting, with AI report writing.source |
| Client portal | Yes. Clients see the reports for their own sites in their own account.source | Yes. Automated client portals with patrol, incident and report data.source |
| Post orders | Yes. Site instructions, duties, documents and required acknowledgments, kept with the client and site.source | Not published on their website. Not described on the two pages we could open. |
| Scheduling | Yes, in every plan. Managers post open shifts that officers claim in the app; a swap needs the other officer and a manager to agree.source | Yes. AI-assisted scheduling with live attendance across every site, alerts before overtime and no-shows, and auto-fill for no-shows.source |
| GPS or geofence time clock | Yes. By default an officer outside the site's geofence cannot clock in; you can relax this, and clock-ins from outside are flagged.source | Yes. Clock-ins are GPS-verified, NFC-confirmed and timestamped from the phone.source |
| Dispatch | Yes, from the Professional plan, plus an optional 24/7 managed dispatch team.source | Yes. Every alert, dispatch and patrol on one command-center screen.source |
