Patrol-Scan

PatrolScan helps businesses and organizations plan, perform, and document recurring patrols with a traceable record—directly on iPhone. REQUIREMENT FOR OPERATIONAL USE For operational use, compatible NFC tags must be purchased separately and installed at the checkpoints. Standard NTAG213, NTAG215, and NTAG216 tags are supported. NFC tags are not included with the app. During setup, each tag is assigned to a specific checkpoint. This allows the app to verify on site whether the checkpoint required for the current patrol has been confirmed. NFC availability depends on the iPhone and tag used. ORGANIZE PATROLS Set up checkpoints using standard NFC tags and combine them into freely configurable routes. Define recurring schedules, service windows, tolerances, and options for recovering missed patrols to match your operational processes. Specific tasks and instructions can be assigned to checkpoints. The configured route represents the recurring workflow and ensures that the required locations remain clearly assigned throughout a patrol. KEEP TRACK OF DAILY OPERATIONS The daily view immediately presents upcoming, active, completed, and missed patrols in clear chronological order. Staff start the scheduled patrol, work through its checkpoints, and confirm their presence on site via NFC. Tasks, instructions, times, and results are recorded for traceability. Successful confirmations, incomplete workflows, and mismatched or unknown tags remain distinguishable. Comments provide space for additional notes about observations on site. Normal operating mode focuses on execution, while the protected administration area brings together setup, reporting, and data transfer. EVALUATE SERVICE LEVELS AND TRENDS The current daily figure is clearly identified as a live interim result. Evaluations show on-schedule completion by checkpoint and route, as well as by day, week, and month. This makes trends, deviations, and improvements visible. Completed, incomplete, missed, and recovered patrols can be reviewed individually. Unscheduled patrols are reported separately and do not retroactively improve the metrics for scheduled patrols. REPORTS AND DATA TRANSFER Create localized Excel reports for further analysis. Large data sets can also be exported. For device changes or archiving, create, verify, and restore password-protected encrypted backups. Restore either the configuration only or all backed-up app data. Structured reports support both the review of individual events and the analysis of longer periods. Patrol, checkpoint, and service-level data can therefore be used for operational follow-up outside the app. PRIVACY AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION Operational data remains in the app’s protected container on the device. No user account is required. Local notifications require user permission. When optional network time verification is enabled, only a technical time request is sent to the configured time server; no route, checkpoint, or patrol data is transmitted. PatrolScan is intended for operational documentation. The app does not replace organizational policies, risk assessments, central alarm systems, or legally required inspections. NFC availability depends on the iPhone and tag type used.
