ROTA · Workforce · Patrol · Stock · Accounts

Know who is on site, where they patrolled,
and what it cost — in real time.

ROTA is a multi-tenant SaaS platform for security firms and civil contractors across the UK and the Gulf. Plan rotas, prove every patrol with GPS, track stock per site, run payroll, manage team communication, and keep the books — across biometric devices and native iOS and Android apps.

How ROTA Works

One record, from the field to the finance team.

Workers and vendors capture data in the field. ROTA turns it into rotas, attendance, stock, messages, and accounts. Managers and clients see proof — without re-keying anything.

Built for two operations

One platform, two field realities.

For security & patrol agencies

You're paid to be on site. Prove it.

Stop guessing whether the midnight patrol happened. ROTA stamps every check-in — biometric or GPS — inside the correct zone, so attendance is evidence, not a phone call.

  Geofenced check-in / out per guard, per zone
  Scheduled patrol checkpoints with a timed log
  One-tap SOS for lone workers, alert to dispatch
  Client-ready attendance reports that settle disputes
For civil works & contractors

Right crew, right site, right materials.

Multi-site scheduling stops workers turning up at the wrong grid. Issue and track tools, equipment and consumable stock per site, so timesheets and budgets reconcile.

  Schedule labour across every active site
  Field timesheets, verified before approval
  Stock & asset register issued per site
  Cost-per-shift so you budget before labour is worked
Real-time team collaboration

Instant communication across sites and shifts.

Workers coordinate in real time. One-to-one chats, group channels, file sharing, and mobile push notifications keep your team aligned and responsive — no WhatsApp friction.

One-to-One Chat

Private worker-to-worker messaging with encrypted storage.

  • Real-time text delivery via Socket.io
  • Full message history and timestamps
  • Deterministic room isolation per pair
  • Offline message queuing

Group Channels

Site-wide and shift-wide broadcast channels for teams.

  • Admin-created groups with auto-member join
  • Role-based permissions (Admin/Member)
  • Bulk messaging to all online workers
  • Persistent group history

File & Media Sharing

Photos, PDFs, audio—all async via cloud storage.

  • Direct HTTP upload to encrypted S3
  • Metadata broadcast via Socket.io
  • Lightweight messaging channel
  • Preview and download on any device

Mobile Push Notifications

Never miss a message, even when offline.

  • FCM (Android) & APNs (iOS) integration
  • Automatic offline delivery
  • Persistent state in database
  • Instant app launch from notification
Vendor-mediated shift assignment

From request to confirmed worker in one flow.

Admin creates shifts, pre-registered vendors bid, first-responder auto-selection, documents verified, worker assigned and notified. No manual coordination.

1. Shift Request

Admin → Vendor

Admin creates a shift and broadcasts to eligible vendors. Request includes location, role, pay, deadline. Vendors receive email + link to respond.

2. Vendor Submission

Vendor Portal Access

Vendor opens link, accepts shift, and submits worker identity, NI number, SIA licence, passport, visa, certifications in one form.

3. Auto-Selection

First-Come, First-Served

System auto-marks first valid submission as ACCEPTED. Late vendors receive rejection notice. Winning vendor gets confirmation email.

4. Document Review

Admin Approval Gate

Admin checks worker's SIA, visa expiry, background screening status. Approved: move to assignment. Rejected: vendor sends replacement or re-open bidding.

5. Auto-Assignment

Worker Onboarded

System links worker to shift, updates calendar. Worker receives email with shift details, location, temporary login + password reset prompt.

6. Confirmation

Worker Accepts

Worker logs in, reviews shift details, clicks Accept. Status moves to Confirmed by Worker. If worker declines, admin requests replacement vendor.

Compliance & staff vetting

Automated screening, document tracking, and expiry alerts.

Track SIA, passports, visas, background checks, certifications. Auto-alerts before expiry. Block non-compliant workers from shift assignment.

The platform

Eight core modules. One source of truth.

Run only what you need today, switch on the rest as you grow. Portals for Super Admin, Tenant Admin and Company Admin keep every role in its lane.

01

Rota & shift planning

Build shifts fast, auto-generate recurring rotas to a due date, manage breaks and leave, and read cost-per-shift before you commit labour.

02

Attendance — biometric or mobile

Workers clock in by fingerprint or face where equipped. Where not, mobile GPS check-in. Both feed one verifiable timesheet.

03

Patrol, tracking & SOS

Live worker positions on maps, geofenced checkpoints, one-tap SOS for lone workers with instant dispatch alerts and time-stamped logs.

04

Worker profiles & documents

One record per worker: contract, photo, licences, training and right-to-work papers with automatic alerts before any document expires.

05

Stock, assets & procurement

Issue stock per site, hold an asset register, raise purchase orders, quotations and returns, and watch live inventory so sites never run dry.

06

HRM & payroll

Attendance flows straight into pay. Automate salaries and deductions, produce salary and shift reports, and capture digital signatures on the record.

07

Accounting & finance

A full double-entry ledger kept separate from operations: chart of accounts, vouchers, general ledger, trial balance, balance sheet and cash flow.

08

Dashboards & reporting

One live view of hours, sites, stock movement and sales vs purchases, with drill-down reports behind every module on the platform.
