Everything you need to run your security operation
One platform for scheduling, compliance, live monitoring, and client reporting — purpose-built for the UK security industry, not retrofitted from generic workforce software.
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.
Real-time Dispatcher Mode
A live control room, not a report you read in the morning. Every guard on one map, and when an incident lands you attach the nearest one to it there and then. The kind of desk that normally costs enterprise money.
See how Real-time Dispatcher Mode worksClients build their own forms
Your client needs a field nobody else asks for. They add it themselves in the portal, and it's on your guards' phones next time they clock in. No support ticket, no waiting on us. Nobody else does this.

A live window into their own site — who's on, verified clock-ins, reports as they're filed. On every plan, free tier included. Not an upsell, not an enterprise tier.

Tags on the points that matter, tapped as the guard passes. A patrol stops being a claim and becomes a timestamped route you can hand to a client who's asking whether the round was actually walked.

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Every guard's SIA licence stored, checked, and flagged before it expires — so you never deploy out of date.

Structured digital reports with photos, timestamps, and signatures — audit-ready and instantly shareable.
