Client Vision
The company aimed to reinforce workflow accountability and optimize field operations via a mobile-first approach. Their vision was to empower employees, mainly the security personnel, with a user-friendly application, centralizing patrolling activities, schedules, task updates, and reporting. The client also wanted supervisors to get real-time insights into employee performance and movements.
The challenges
Lack of Digital Touchpoints
The business lacks an app to support field workers, resulting in manual coordination and fragmented communication across teams.
No Real-Time Data Flow
Due to a lack of a mobile ecosystem, the supervisors had no real-time insight into the activities of the employees, their movements, affecting the decision–making process.
No Live Location Tracking
The insight into the guard movements during shifts was limited. This further resulted in inconsistencies in reporting and operational blind spots.
Missed Patrol Checkpoints
Manual tracking resulted in security personnel missing or skipping checkpoints without detection, affecting the reliability of the service and route coverage.
Scattered Process Management
Employees had to depend on offline methods for task updates, schedules, and sift communication. This resulted in delays, and inefficiencies in operation.
Slow Incident Reporting
Incidents were manually communicated, mostly after significant delays, leading to slower response and incomplete documentation.
No Mechanism for Passive Tracking
Continuous monitoring was not possible with the current processes. This made it difficult to validate route completion or ensure the safety.
App Closure Interruptions
The client wanted a system that could track the locations of security personnel even when the app is closed, to ensure uninterrupted patrol monitoring.

ConvexSol developed a full-scale mobile app customized to the business’s workforce management ecosystem, ensuring easy communication, reporting, task handling, and tracking, all in a single platform.
