The Lobbytrack Guard app helps secure your facility by providing real-time data on who is currently on-site. You can add your security personnel as guard users in your lobbytrack account and then these security guards can download and login to the guard app on their mobile phones. Through this app you can send alerts to the guards as well. These alerts will keep the guards up to date as visitors sign in and out and immediately notify them if someone on the watchlist tries to register. In the case of an emergency, your security personnel can use this app as an up-to-date evacuation list. This will help them get everyone out of the building safely.
