Security Guard Scheduling & Rota Management
Build rotas, assign shifts, and manage your workforce — all from one platform your guards can access on their phones.
Scheduling That Actually Works
Built specifically for security operations, not adapted from generic HR software.
Visual Rota Builder
Create and manage rotas with an intuitive calendar view. Assign guards to client sites, set shift times, and publish schedules that guards see instantly on their phones.
Multi-Site Management
Manage rotas across all your client sites from one dashboard. See coverage gaps, double-bookings, and unassigned shifts at a glance.
Recurring Shifts
Set up recurring shift patterns and let TacDesk auto-generate your rota. Define custom rotations to match your operational needs.
Shift Marketplace
Post open shifts to the marketplace. Available guards can claim shifts directly in the app, reducing the time spent finding cover.
Notifications & Reminders
Automatic shift reminders sent to guards before their shift starts. No-show alerts sent to supervisors when a guard doesn't clock in on time.
Time Off & Holiday Requests
Guards request time off through the app. Managers approve or decline with visibility into coverage impact before deciding.
From Rota to Timesheet — Seamlessly
Scheduling that connects to every other part of your operation.
Clock-In Integration
Scheduled shifts link directly to GPS clock-in. See planned vs actual attendance side by side — no separate systems needed.
Hours-by-Client Reporting
Shift and clock data feeds into hours-by-client reports. See exactly how many hours each site consumed for accurate client billing.
Guard Self-Service
Guards view their upcoming shifts, request time off, and check availability — all from their phone. Fewer calls to the office.
