Real-time reporting used to be the edge. Now it’s the expectation.
At Riilay, we understand that simply offering real-time updates isn't enough to stand out anymore. That’s why we built a system that makes real-time reporting not just accessible, but intuitive and nearly foolproof for your team.
Why Clients Love Real-Time Patrol Reports
Instead of waiting until a shift ends to send a summary, guards log their actions in real time using a mobile app. The data is instantly sent to the dashboard and can be viewed by managers or clients right away. This includes patrol check-ins, incident logs, photos, and task completions.
Transparency builds trust.
When clients can see their property is being actively monitored, they feel more confident in your services. Real-time reports also reduce the number of client check-in calls you receive because the information is always at their fingertips.
No more guessing.
Real-time reports remove the “black box” feeling that often comes with security services. Now clients see proof - live.
Professionalism on display.
Timely, consistent reporting shows that your company runs a tight ship. It reflects well on your guards, your supervisors, and your brand.
Real-Time Reports That Actually Work for You
With Riilay, guards don’t just log their actions in the app—they’re guided through what to log, when, and how. Instead of relying on clunky modules or hours of supervisor instruction, each station includes built-in, step-by-step instructions. Guards know exactly what to do at every checkpoint without needing someone to walk them through it.
That means:
Less time training new guards
No need to manually build out separate post order modules
Fewer mistakes or missed tasks
What Makes Riilay Different?
Other systems require you to spend time building post orders in a separate module. That means hours uploading instructions and hoping guards will navigate to them while on shift. With Riilay, it’s all in one place. Instructions are embedded directly into each patrol, duty station, and checkpoint so nothing gets missed.
It’s simple, streamlined, and built for the field.
Why It Matters for Security Companies
Lower training costs – New hires get up to speed faster with fewer walkthroughs.
Fewer errors – Clear, on-the-spot guidance reduces missed tasks.
Better compliance – Guards know what to do, and you have proof it was done.
Happy supervisors – No need to babysit or create custom instructional modules.
What Clients Still Want
Yes, clients still want transparency and professional-looking reports. Riilay delivers:
Checkpoints with comments and photos
Time-stamped and GPS-tagged entries
Completed task reports
Incident reports with optional photo evidence
Guard notes and observations
But what really impresses clients? When your team looks sharp, confident, and consistent - without micromanagement.
Simple. Smart. Self-Guided.
Riilay turns real-time reporting into something your guards want to use. It eliminates confusion and saves your supervisors hours of time. And it helps you deliver a better client experience without extra effort.
That’s the kind of modern professionalism that wins contracts and builds loyalty.
