GPS Clock In & Out for Security Guards

Location-verified timesheets that eliminate buddy punching and give you real-time visibility of every guard on every site.

How GPS Clock In Works

Three simple steps from arrival to verified timesheet.

1. Guard Opens TacDesk

On arrival at site, the guard opens TacDesk on their phone. The app detects their GPS location automatically — no manual entry needed.

2. Select Site & Clock In

The guard selects their assigned client site and taps Clock In. TacDesk captures GPS coordinates, timestamp, and links it to their shift.

3. Verified & Logged

Management sees the clock-in instantly on the live dashboard. Coordinates are stored for audit trails and timesheet verification.

Why GPS Clock In Matters

The tools that set TacDesk apart from basic time-tracking apps.

Eliminate Buddy Punching

GPS verification means guards must physically be on site to clock in. No more friends clocking in for absent colleagues.

Real-Time Visibility

See which guards are on site right now, who's late, and who hasn't arrived — all from your management dashboard.

Automated Timesheets

Clock data flows directly into timesheets and hours-by-client reporting. No manual data entry, no spreadsheets, no disputes.

Complete Audit Trail

Every clock event is logged with GPS coordinates, timestamps, and guard ID. Export anytime for compliance or client reporting.

Late & No-Show Alerts

Get notified immediately when a guard hasn't clocked in by their scheduled start time. React before clients notice.

Works on Any Device

TacDesk runs as a Progressive Web App — works on any modern smartphone with a browser. No app store download required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the GPS clock-in location?

TacDesk captures GPS coordinates from the guard’s device. Accuracy depends on the device and environment — typically within 5-15 metres outdoors. The exact coordinates are stored with every clock event for verification.

Can guards clock in without GPS enabled?

GPS is required for clock-in verification. If a guard’s location services are disabled, TacDesk will prompt them to enable it before they can clock in.

Does GPS clock-in work on all phones?

Yes. TacDesk works on any modern smartphone with a web browser — iPhone, Android, or tablet. No app store download required as it runs as a Progressive Web App.
