Post shifts to the Shiftaan app
Assign a guard, or post a shift open: first to accept gets it, or you approve each one. It reaches guards' phones straight away.
Shiftaan Team · for agencies
Your guards already use Shiftaan. Send them shifts there.
Shiftaan Team is the agency side of Shiftaan. Post and fill shifts, check guards in on site and approve timesheets, while your guards accept everything in the app they already use for their own hours and pay.
SIA licence checks Rest and 48-hour checks No face recognition
What Team does
Rota, check-ins, alerts, timesheets and invoices, in one place.
Shifts and the rota
Checked before you book
Every booking is checked against the guard's licence, their other shifts, 11 hours' rest and the 48-hour week.
Unfilled shifts
Shifts still open 24 hours before they start remind you and go red on the rota.
Short-notice cancellations
Cancelling late records the cancellation pay for you.
On the day
Live board
Who's on shift now, open alerts and shifts that need someone now.
Check in on site
Guards can only check in inside the site's boundary, set from its postcode.
Check calls
Hourly I'm OK calls, with a photo of the post when you ask. A person looks at it: no face recognition.
SOS and incidents
SOS goes to every owner and manager at once with the guard's location. Incident reports arrive live with photos.
Alerts that escalate
Missed check-ins and incidents go to the site's supervisors, then managers after 5 minutes and owners after 10.
Alerts on your computer
Push alerts in your browser, even when Team isn't open.
Guards

Guards ask to join from the Shiftaan app with their SIA licence; you approve them.
Licence checks

Why it works
Built from the guard's side.
Most guard apps are made for the office and bolted on for the guard. Shiftaan started as the guard's own app, so the people you book already know it.
- One app for every agency a guard works for
- The same hours on both sides, so fewer pay disputes
- Your shifts sit next to their other work, so clashes and over-48-hour weeks show up before you book
- Guards keep a dated record of every shift

Post shifts
They reach guards in the Shiftaan app straight away.
Do my guards need another app? +
No. They accept your shifts in Shiftaan, the app many already use to track their hours and pay: free on iPhone and in any browser.
What does a guard see? +
The shifts you send them, next to their other work, with your site instructions. They keep their own dated record of every shift, the same hours you approve.
Who is it for? +
Security agencies first: door supervisors, security guards and CCTV operators, with SIA licence checks built in. Stewards and roles without a licence work too.
Does it use facial recognition? +
No. Check-call photos are of the post, looked at by a person.
What does it cost? +
Get in touch and we'll walk you through it and set up your first sites.
