Online and Offline Mode

Offline-First Design

Complete full patrols without any network connection

Some of the most important checkpoints are in areas with no WiFi or cellular signal: parking garages, basements, stairwells, and storage rooms. With Patrol Points, guards scan NFC checkpoints, create incident reports, attach photos, and add notes even when they are completely offline. All data is stored locally on the device until a connection is available.

• Scan NFC checkpoints without WiFi or cellular
• Create incident reports while offline
• Attach photos and add notes locally
• All patrols must start online, then can continue offline
• uards see a clear offline notice at the top of the screen

Automatic Sync

Data uploads automatically when connectivity returns

When a guard's phone reconnects to a network, all patrol data syncs to the cloud automatically. There is no need to manually upload anything. The app shows a three-state sync indicator on every checkpoint and on the home screen so guards and management always know the exact status: synced, syncing, or unsynced. Management can also trigger a manual sync at any time from the home screen.

Accountability in Any Condition

Timestamps and data stay accurate even offline

Every checkpoint scan is timestamped at the moment it happens, regardless of network status. Management still gets accurate information about when each checkpoint was reached and whether the patrol stayed on schedule. Skip reasons, notes, and incident details are all captured at the point of entry and uploaded intact.

• Timestamps recorded at the moment of scan, not at sync
• Skip reasons and notes preserved accurately
• Incident reports maintain correct date, time, and details
• Patrol completion status reported as soon as sync finishes
• Management gets email notifications after sync
