How we compare

The criteria every guide measures

The same questions security buyers ask in an evaluation, applied to every vendor so the guides are comparable with each other.

Scheduling and certification enforcement

Whether the platform blocks an officer who lacks a site-required certification at the moment of assignment.

Billing from verified field data

Whether invoices and contract rates come from attendance and patrol data, or are re-keyed from timesheets.

Payroll approach

Native payroll inside the platform, or integration with ADP, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct and Paycor.

Client reporting

A white-labeled client portal with live SLA data, versus exported or month-end reports.

Security certifications

SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 held and documented, versus referenced or unverified.

Deployment time

Weeks to go live on a single platform, versus a phased, module-by-module rollout.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Each guide applies the same criteria security buyers use in an evaluation: scheduling and certification enforcement, billing source, payroll approach, client reporting, security certifications and deployment time. Competitor details come from public product information and are dated in each guide; verify specifics with each vendor.

Start with the vendor on your shortlist. If you are a small guard firm, read Belfry or GuardsPro. If you are a UK contractor, read Timegate. If you already run an ERP for accounting and payroll, read WinTeam, which covers running TrackTik alongside it.

No. TrackTik is a security operations platform. For accounting and payroll it integrates with ADP, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct and Paycor rather than acting as a general ledger, so it can run alongside systems like WinTeam.

About eight weeks for a typical multi-site guard company: site and officer setup, contract and rate configuration, a parallel billing or payroll run, then go-live. Rollouts can be phased contract by contract so service never drops.
