Deputy is a well-known workforce management platform with strong scheduling capabilities. If you need software purpose-built for security guard operations, here is how ZooYak compares.
Deputy has built a strong reputation for workforce scheduling across many industries. Security companies sometimes reach out to us when they need capabilities that go beyond general shift management and time tracking.
Deputy is a well-known workforce management platform serving multiple industries including hospitality, retail, and healthcare. Security companies sometimes find they need features specifically designed for guard operations — patrol tracking, incident chains of custody, and checkpoint verification — that go beyond general workforce scheduling.
Security operations require real-time patrol verification with GPS breadcrumbs, NFC tap points, and QR checkpoint scans. ZooYak was built around these workflows from day one, rather than adapting general time-and-attendance features to security use cases.
When an incident occurs on-site, guards need to file structured reports with photo evidence, witness details, and a full chain of custody. ZooYak provides dedicated incident workflows with severity classification, escalation rules, and audit-ready documentation.
Per-user pricing can be difficult to predict for security companies with fluctuating rosters. ZooYak charges per guard-hour worked across four billing tiers, so costs align directly with your operational volume rather than headcount.
