How to Start a 14-Day Digital Guard Tour Pilot
Test GPS/QR patrol verification on one real security site before rolling it out across your operation.
A 14-day Digital Guard Tour pilot starts with a company account, the correct regional server, and the onboarding checklist inside the dashboard.
Quick expert summary
What this pilot should prove
A pilot is not just a signup. It should prove whether your security company can create real patrol records from a real site, using real guards, real checkpoints and supervisor review.
During the 14-day trial, start small: choose one site, add a few checkpoints, invite a small guard team, run real patrols and review the results in the dashboard.
- ✓Verify one real security site with GPS/QR patrol proof.
- ✓Use smartphones instead of proprietary RFID patrol hardware.
- ✓Review patrol activity, incidents and missed setup steps from the dashboard.
- ✓Export XLS records for client reporting and operational review.
Start with one site, not your whole operation
The fastest way to evaluate Digital Guard Tour is to test one real patrol workflow. A small pilot is easier to set up, easier to train and easier to compare with your current process.

Step 1: Choose the nearest region
Selecting the nearest region helps the system use the best regional server for faster performance. For a U.S. pilot, choose North and Central America.
How to start the pilot
Create the company account
Enter the company name, administrator name, email address, WhatsApp number and preferred language. The administrator email becomes the login email for the dashboard.
Log in to the dashboard
After the account is created, log in with the administrator email and password. The first dashboard screen shows the package status and setup menu.
Follow the onboarding checklist
The checklist shows the first setup steps: add a site, add checkpoints, add users, add shifts, add patrol tasks and add QR codes. Each step can be supported by a setup video.
Build one real pilot workflow
Start with one site and a few important checkpoints. Invite a small number of guards and run real patrols before rolling the system out to more sites.
US terminology note: in these setup guides, the guarded location is called a site. This is the standard wording for U.S. security companies and is the term we use for onboarding content.
What a successful 14-day pilot should include
A strong pilot should not try to cover every site. It should prove the core workflow on one real location.
- ✓One real site with real guard activity.
- ✓Three to five important checkpoints, including doors, gates, corridors or blind spots.
- ✓At least two guards or supervisors using the system during real shifts.
- ✓One or more incident reports with notes, photos or location context.
- ✓An XLS export that can be reviewed internally or shared with a client.
14-day pilot questions
Do I need RFID hardware to start the pilot?
No. Digital Guard Tour is designed for smartphone-based GPS/QR patrol verification, so a pilot can start without proprietary RFID readers or patrol wands.
How many sites should I test first?
Start with one real site. A focused pilot is easier to set up, easier to train and easier to evaluate.
What should I prepare before signing up?
Prepare the company name, administrator email, WhatsApp number, preferred language, one test site and a short list of planned checkpoints.
Can guards use their own smartphones?
Yes. Digital Guard Tour supports a BYOD-style workflow where guards can use compatible Android or iOS smartphones for patrol tasks and checkpoint verification.
Can I export patrol reports?
Yes. Digital Guard Tour supports XLS export for patrol and operational records, which can be used for client reporting, audits and internal review.
Start with one site and prove the workflow
Use the 14-day pilot to test real patrol verification before you commit to a wider rollout. Add one site, invite a small guard team and compare the patrol records with your current process.
