Your guards already walk the rounds. The problem is that the sheet is signed at the gate at the end of the night, all at once, and when a client asks which rounds happened and at what time you have nothing better than that sheet. Describe how your company runs and you get the tables, the forms, a phone app for the guards and the reports, already filled with sites and shifts like yours.
Somebody had to retype every name and certificate before it did anything at all, and that job never got finished. The big suite was too rigid, the build-it-yourself tools were too empty, and you went back to the spreadsheet that at least already had everything in it.
Gobuso starts from the other end. Your files first. Then a plan in plain English you can change. Then working software, the same day.
No sign-up and no data of yours. It designs the tables, builds the app and fills it with a company that looks like yours.
Five moments, in order. Nothing here is a mock-up of a different product: it is the same builder the button above opens.
We cover 15 client sites with 70 guards on rotating shifts. A guard signs the round sheet at the gate at the end of the night. The client asks which rounds happened and at what time. I cannot prove a round was walked.

of scheduled rounds were completed.
Before this, the monthly report was written from memory.
Sixteen of Sandwith’s nineteen are the 03:00 round on one guard’s shift. That is a rota problem, not a site problem, and she would have moved him.
Four questions, a plan you can read and change, then working software.
