TrackTik’s enterprise model typically involves per-guard fees, setup costs and long-term contracts. TacDesk has no setup costs, no contracts, and no lock-in.

TrackTik was built for large North American enterprise deployments. If you’re a UK security company with 10 to 300 guards, you’re paying for features you’ll never use and support that doesn’t understand your market.
TacDesk was built specifically for the UK market. SIA licence compliance, Xero integration, and UK-based support are built in — not bolted on as premium add-ons.
Pricing: starts at £149/month. Custom quotes available. No contracts, no setup fees — start today and scale without the budget shock. Get a custom quote.
For UK security companies, regulatory compliance is not optional — it is a legal requirement with serious consequences for getting it wrong.
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) requires every guard in a licensable role to hold a valid, in-date licence. Deploying an unlicensed operative — even inadvertently — carries criminal prosecution risk, unlimited fines, and the potential loss of ACS approved contractor status.
TrackTik, built in Canada for global enterprise deployments, offers no SIA-specific compliance tooling. TacDesk integrates directly with the SIA Public Register, automatically verifying every guard's licence status before deployment. Licence expiry alerts fire at 90, 60, and 30 days — and if a licence lapses, the guard cannot be scheduled.
The compliance module is built for ACS, Martin’s Law, and upcoming SIA licensing regulation — covering all seven ACS criteria, with real-time dashboards and audit-ready records. For UK security companies holding or pursuing ACS approved contractor status, this is compliance embedded in operations — not a quarterly spreadsheet exercise.
TrackTik follows an enterprise pricing model: per-user fees, implementation costs, and annual contracts with limited exit options. The sales process is opaque — pricing requires a discovery call, and the number you get depends on how much they think you can pay.
TacDesk pricing is published on the website. No setup fee. No minimum contract. A lifetime price lock that guarantees your rate today is your rate in three years.

TrackTik implementations are measured in months. Enterprise software vendors refer to “go-live dates” because the time from purchase to a working system routinely spans 3–6 months of configuration, training, and integration work.
TacDesk is designed to be operational within days. Guard profiles are imported from your existing system, guards clock in via the browser or mobile app (no app store installation required), and the management dashboard is live from day one. Free migration support is included. The entire transition from sign-off to go-live typically takes under one week.
You can run both systems in parallel during the changeover — eliminating cutover risk without paying for two platforms for months.
