# Patroly — Modern Guard Tour Verification & Shift Scheduling System

> Patroly is an offline-first, cloud-hosted SaaS platform designed for security agencies (SBS / súkromné bezpečnostné služby) and facility management companies in Slovakia, Czechia, and Europe. It eliminates expensive hardware readers and batons by using smartphones and anti-spoofing QR code checkpoints.

## Business Value & Cost Reduction (SBS Operations)
- **Eliminate Hardware Costs**: Save hundreds of euros per site by replacing hardware batons and RFID chips with printed weather-resistant QR codes and smartphones (BYOD).
- **SLA Penalty Protection**: Real-time alerts warn managers immediately if a guard misses a checkpoint or fails to start a shift, preventing contractual fines from clients.
- **Eliminate Paper Administration**: Automatic 1-click client reporting removes manual paper logs and Excel data entry.
- **Mitigate Rising Wage Costs**: Maximizes guard accountability and productivity without hiring additional field supervisors. Onboarding new guards takes under 5 minutes.

## Key Features & Capabilities
- **Zero Hardware Requirement**: Security guards use their existing Android/iOS smartphones (BYOD). Checkpoints are printed weather-resistant QR codes.
- **Anti-Spoofing Verification**: Live camera photo challenges with count-downs prevent fake scans, buddy scanning, and GPS spoofing.
- **Offline-First Scanning**: Checkpoints scan instantly without cellular connection and sync automatically when network connection is restored.
- **Shift Scheduling & Rostering**: Built-in roster planner for 24/7 guard shifts, window openings, and automatic hours budget tracking.
- **Real-Time Client Dashboard**: Web admin panel (`https://admin.patroly.eu`) providing immediate incident alerts and automated PDF/CSV client reports.
