Getting started
What is security guard management software?
Software that brings guard scheduling, attendance, GPS tracking, patrols, incident reporting, client reporting and payroll into one system, instead of paper registers, spreadsheets and group chats.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can try Potrasy free for 14 days, and no card is required.
Do you help us get set up?
Yes. We offer onboarding help to get your team set up, and a help centre and support tickets once you are running.
What devices does Potrasy work on?
Potrasy runs in the web browser, and guards use the guard portal on their phones in the field.
Pricing
How much does Potrasy cost?
One plan with every feature for your whole company: R399 per month, or R3,686.76 per year (about R307 per month). There are no per-guard fees and no add-ons.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Monthly plans are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time.
Features
How does GPS clock-in work?
Guards clock in and out from their phone at the site. Potrasy records the time and location, and flags clock-ins made away from the site.
Can Potrasy verify patrols?
Yes. Guards scan NFC or QR checkpoints during site tours, and missed checkpoints are flagged.
Which messaging channels does Potrasy connect to?
WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and email (Gmail and Outlook), all in one unified inbox.
Does Potrasy work with QuickBooks?
Yes. Payroll runs in Potrasy and syncs to QuickBooks.
Can my clients see their own sites?
Yes. Each client gets their own secure login to the client portal and sees activity at their own sites only.
