Why TacDesk
The bits nobody else gives you at this price
Everyone does GPS clock-ins. These are the four things that actually decide it.
Customer story
TacDesk's dispatcher mode has revolutionised how we do our work. I can see every guard on the map and exactly where they are, and the second an incident is logged I can attach the nearest guard to it and keep working directly with the event controllers in real time. Nothing slips through and nobody is guessing where anyone is.
At Cambridge Pride, and at every event we've put it on since, people have been absolutely blown away. It's clearly built by people who understand security rather than just software, and it's made us faster and sharper on the ground. We're not going back.

The problem
Stop Losing Time and Money to Outdated Processes
SIA compliance risk
Deploy a guard on a lapsed SIA licence and you're one audit away from losing the contract. TacDesk stores every licence, checks it, and flags expiry before it bites.
Records that fail audits
Illegible incident reports and lost patrol logs fail audits and lose contracts. Capture everything digitally, timestamped, audit-ready.
No visibility
If you can't see whether a guard is on site — or whether the report was ever filed — until a client complains, you're already too late. Watch it live.
Attendance proof
Verified, timestamped clock-ins give you proof of attendance when a client queries an invoice.
Everything else
And all the day-to-day, obviously
The rest of the job, covered — so you're not stitching four tools together to get through a week.
SIA Licence Tracking
Every guard's SIA licence stored, checked, and flagged before it expires — so you never deploy out of date.
SIA/ACS Audit Prep
Evidence and reporting mapped to what SIA/ACS assessors look for, so you walk into your audit prepared, not scrambling.
Incident Reports
Structured digital reports with photos, timestamps, and signatures — audit-ready and instantly shareable.
Real-Time GPS Tracking
See every guard on a live map. Spot no-shows and gaps in cover before your clients do.
Rota & Scheduling
Build rotas, assign shifts, and manage cover in one place — with clashes and gaps flagged automatically.
Management Dashboard
Rotas, licences, capacity, and compliance in one console built for security operations.
Professional PDF Reports
Branded, client-ready reports generated automatically. Win contracts and pass SIA/ACS audits.
Fleet Management
Track vehicles, assignments, and checks, with optional DVLA lookups to keep your fleet road-legal.
Kit & Inventory
Issue, track, and return equipment to guards and sites, with a clear record of who holds what.
Footage Management
Log, request, and share incident footage with a full chain-of-custody trail for clients and audits.
Shift Marketplace
Publish open shifts and let available guards pick them up — fill last-minute cover without the phone calls.
Capacity Tracking
Live headcount and occupancy tracking for events and venues, ready to evidence when it matters.
Payroll Integration
Push verified hours straight into your accounting with Xero payroll integration — no re-keying timesheets.
TacBot AI Assistant
A manager's assistant inside TacDesk — ask it a question in plain English and it surfaces the right report or record in seconds.
Native App + PWA
iOS, Android, and web from a single codebase. Guards install in seconds and work offline.
Less admin, not more.
Clients build their own custom forms, reports file themselves digitally, and your whole operation runs off one desk — so your office spends less time chasing paperwork and more time winning contracts.
