V-Tracker is the leading system for capturing and reporting important information on iPhones®, and for transmitting it instantly to a web based platform for further processing. It also allows for the iPhone® to be used as a guard tour verification device (optional adapter is required).
The V-Tracker solution consists of the software that runs on the iPhone® and our web based system with which it communicates and exchanges information. An access to our web based platform is required to user to customize V-Tracker to his specific needs. All the user needs to access our web based system is one of the popular internet browsers; there is no software to install on your laptop or PC. Once logged into our online platform, the user is able to create other authorized system users, determine the layout of his reporting templates, decide how reports are distributed, setup guard tours, etc. Changes made by the user online are automatically synchronized with the iPhone® whenever a user logs in on it next, and reports generated on the iPhone® are wirelessly uploaded and distributed in real-time. The turnaround time between a report being uploaded from the iPhone® and it appearing in the recipients’ email inboxes or on their smartphones is generally around 30 seconds (the delay is determined by how many pictures are included in the report).
The system’s capabilities include:
- Incident Reporting (incl. Pictures & Signatures)
- Event Reporting (incl. Pictures & Signatures)
- Time & Attendance Recording
- Guard Tour Verification
- Interactive Guard Tours (incl. point-by-point Instructions)
- Live Guard Tour Monitoring
