Trackforce alternative
for guard companies that are not running four thousand officers
Trackforce is one of the largest companies in this category, and since 2022 it has also owned TrackTik, GuardTek and Silvertrac — so a shortlist that looks like four vendors may be one commercial relationship. Worth knowing before you start. If you landed here, the question is usually not who has more features; it is whether a platform built for multi-region enterprise deployments is the right shape for a company running forty to three hundred guards. This page says what CGuardPro is built for and hands you a checklist that works on any vendor, including us.
What this page deliberately does not do
We make no claims here about another company's feature set, prices, staffing or customers. Software changes, price lists change, and a comparison that falls apart the first time you check it is worthless to you and damaging to us. What you will find instead is two things: a plain description of what CGuardPro does, and a list of questions that will separate any two offers on your desk. One thing in particular we will not do is pretend Trackforce is a US-only product — it is not, and their own site is published in several languages.
What CGuardPro is built for
CGuardPro runs the daily cycle of a guard contract: the roster and its rotations, geofenced clock-in with a selfie and GPS, patrol routes whose QR or NFC scans are stamped against server time rather than the phone's, the daily activity report that hands the next officer the previous shift's open items, a silent panic button routed into your own control room, push-to-talk voice inside the same app, live supervision on a map while the shift is running, and a portal where each client watches their own sites. It is built to be administered by a supervisor between rounds, not by a configuration specialist.
Two things shape the product more than any single feature. The first is that the price is on the website: $5 per user per month, covering admins, guards, supervisors and client users, with a 14-day free trial and an optional one-time $299.99 implementation package if you want us to import your data and train your people. You can build your year-one number before you book a call. The second is that the mobile app is the product. If a guard in a basement with no signal cannot scan a checkpoint and file an incident with a photo, and have that incident arrive later carrying the time it actually happened, nothing in the back office matters.
Who is this a good fit for? Companies of roughly forty to a few hundred officers, running staffed posts around the clock on rotating shifts, accountable to clients who want evidence, and unwilling to spend a quarter on an implementation project. Who is it a worse fit for? Organisations whose requirement hangs on deep integrations into an existing North American back-office stack — payroll, ERP and billing systems already in place — or who need a formal multi-year enterprise programme with a procurement track to match. Those are honest limits, and you should test them before you decide.
Who should choose Trackforce
There is a solid case for Trackforce, and you should hear it stated fairly rather than dismissed. They are one of the larger companies in this category, with a long deployment history behind them and four established products in the portfolio — Trackforce, TrackTik, GuardTek and Silvertrac. Their own site publishes their scale and country coverage, and it publishes in several languages, so international operation is a real part of what they do rather than a gap for someone else to exploit.
If your evaluation is being run by a procurement function that weighs vendor size, references at enterprise scale, a structured multi-region rollout and a formal implementation programme, that is the shape of buyer they are built to serve — and it is not the shape CGuardPro is built to serve. We are built for the owner who wants a number this week, a pilot next week, and a supervisor holding the phone the week after. Work out honestly which of those two descriptions is yours, because it settles most of the decision before any feature grid does.
The checklist — question by question
| Topic | CGuardPro | How to check this with any vendor |
|---|---|---|
| Getting to a number | Published: $5 per user per month on the pricing page, plus a one-time $299.99 implementation package | Where the price comes only on request, ask for the total first-year cost — licence, implementation, training and every module you saw — as one figure, in writing. |
| What a "user" means | Every seat at one price: admins, guards, supervisors and client users | Ask exactly what the billing unit counts. Per guard, per user, per post and per site produce very different invoices from the same payroll. |
| Trying before buying | 14-day free trial with full feature access, no credit card | Ask whether you can run a real post on a trial, or whether evaluating means a guided demo only. |
| Which product you are actually buying | One product and one price list, on one roadmap | Where a company sells several platforms under one roof, ask which one your quote covers, which one your sites would run on, and what moving between them would involve later. |
| Time to go live | Days: load clients, sites and posts, build the roster, print QR codes, put the app on the phones | Ask for a dated go-live plan, and which parts of it create work on your side rather than the vendor’s. |
| Patrols and checkpoints | QR or NFC points scanned with the guard’s own phone, verified against server time and GPS | Ask whether proprietary hardware is required, and what buying, maintaining and replacing it costs over five years. |
| A basement with no signal | Scans, reports, photos and visitor entries queue on the phone and sync later: the report keeps the time it happened, the scan is stamped on arrival, the clock-in needs a connection | Ask for this in airplane mode during the demo, not on a slide — and ask what time each record ends up carrying. |
| Voice on the post | Push-to-talk channel inside the same app the guard already has, no radios to buy | Ask whether voice is part of the platform, a separate product, or a third-party integration you pay for. |
| Panic button | Silent SOS from the guard’s phone into your own control room, with last known location and a full record | Ask to see the whole path: trigger, delivery, acknowledgement, and the evidence it leaves behind. |
| Client portal | Included: your client follows patrols, incidents and reports for their own sites | Get it in writing whether the portal sits in the base price or is a paid module, and whether the client gets an app or only email. |
| Spanish and Latin American operations | Spanish is a first-class market, not a translation layer: novedades, relevo, consigna, puesto, rondín — in the app, the reports and the client portal | Ask to see a full monthly client report in the language your client reads, and check it uses the words your supervisors use rather than translated menus. |
The right-hand column contains questions, not statements about any particular product. This page makes no claim about Trackforce's features, prices, staffing or customers; where it refers to Trackforce it refers only to their own published pages, checked September 2026 — confirm current details with the vendor.

Three places where these two offers actually differ
First, the size of operation each is shaped around. Trackforce carries four brands and a deployment history in large, multi-region contracts, and products built for that buyer inherit its assumptions: role hierarchies, formal procurement, configuration handled by people whose job is configuration. If you run four thousand officers across several countries, those assumptions are features. If you run forty to three hundred, they are weight you carry without using. Ask both vendors what the smallest account on their books looks like, and who administers it day to day.
Second, how long before it is real. A platform your own supervisor can stand up in a week and a platform that arrives as a project with a kick-off and a phased rollout are different purchases, not better and worse ones. Above a few thousand officers, the project is the responsible way to do it. Below it, a quarter spent on implementation is a quarter your operation runs on two systems at once, double-entering the same shift. Ask for the dated plan either way, and ask specifically which steps consume your staff's hours rather than the vendor's.
Third, which language reaches the guard. Trackforce publishes a multilingual site, so this is not a question of who translated their marketing — we are not going to pretend otherwise. The question is narrower and it decides adoption: what language does the officer see on the phone at the post, and what vocabulary do the reports use? A platform can be localized at the top and still hand a Guayaquil supervisor an interface that says "shift handover" where the trade says "relevo". Ask to see the guard app and one monthly client report in the language your officers and your client actually read, on a real device.
What switching actually involves
Two questions decide this one, and neither is technical. The first is what your current provider will let you export — historical patrol logs and incident records leave on their terms, not on ours, so find out the format before you sign anything new. The second is who does the work: creating clients, sites and posts, loading the roster and printing checkpoint codes is days of effort, but it is days of your effort unless you buy the guided implementation. Start with one client and two or three sites rather than the whole book — a pilot that survives a month is the most persuasive argument you will ever make internally — and do not migrate during a large client's peak season or an audit window.
One question is specific to this comparison. Where your current platform is one of several products under a single corporate roof, establish which legal entity holds your records and who has authority to sign off an export, because those are sometimes not the same people who sold you the licence. The general version of this, along with the twelve-point checklist and the pricing-unit arithmetic, is in how to evaluate guard management software.
Frequently asked questions
Is CGuardPro a real alternative to Trackforce?+
For a security company that wants a published price, a trial it can run on a real post, a guard app that survives a basement with no signal, and a go-live measured in days: yes. CGuardPro covers the operational core — scheduling, geofenced clock-in, QR and NFC patrols, daily activity reports, panic button, push-to-talk, live GPS supervision and a client portal. Whether it fits your specific operation is something to test during the trial rather than take from anyone’s comparison table, including ours.
Are Trackforce and TrackTik the same company?+
Yes. Trackforce acquired TrackTik in 2022, and the group publishes Trackforce, TrackTik, GuardTek and Silvertrac as brands of one company. This is worth knowing before you shortlist, because a list that reads as four independent vendors may in practice be one commercial relationship. It is not a criticism — consolidation is normal in this category — but it does change what a shortlist means, and it makes one question worth asking early: which of those products would our sites actually run on, and what would moving between them involve later?
What does Trackforce cost?+
Trackforce does not publish a price. Their pricing is quote-based, so the first real number arrives after a conversation rather than before one. That is a legitimate way to sell software, and it is common at the enterprise end of this market; it simply means you should ask early for the total first-year figure — licence, implementation, training and every module you saw in the demo — and ask for it in writing. CGuardPro publishes its price: $5 per user per month covering every seat, plus an optional one-time $299.99 implementation package, with a 14-day free trial. Checked September 2026 — confirm current details with each vendor.
Who should choose Trackforce instead?+
A buyer operating at scale, or one who wants a vendor with a long enterprise deployment history and a portfolio to draw on. Trackforce is a large company in this category — it publishes its own scale and deployment figures on its site, and it fields four established products between Trackforce, TrackTik, GuardTek and Silvertrac. It also publishes a genuinely multilingual site, so do not assume from us that international coverage is a weakness on their side; it is not. If your evaluation is being run by a procurement team that weighs vendor size, a multi-region rollout plan and a formal implementation programme, that is the conversation they are set up for, and it is a reasonable thing to want.
We run posts in Spanish. Does that change the answer?+
It is worth testing carefully rather than assuming either way. Several vendors in this category, Trackforce included, publish sites in more than one language, so the question is not whether Spanish exists but how deep it goes. Ask to see a full monthly client report, an incident record and the guard app itself in Spanish, and check whether they use the vocabulary your supervisors actually use — novedades, relevo, consigna, puesto, rondín — or a literal translation of English menus that your dispatcher will mentally re-translate every time. CGuardPro treats Spanish as a first-class market across nine market sites, and that is the standard we would ask you to hold every vendor to.
How fast can we actually go live?+
With CGuardPro the technical part is days: create clients, sites and posts, load the roster, define patrol routes, print QR codes, and get the app onto your guards’ phones. Guided implementation is optional and separately priced at $299.99. What takes longer is organisational — deciding which incident types you track, updating post orders, agreeing roles, and getting supervisors to stop keeping a parallel record in a group chat. Ask every vendor for a dated go-live plan and for the name of the person who owns it, and ask which steps consume your staff’s time rather than theirs.
What should we ask both vendors before signing?+
Four questions separate these two offers faster than a feature grid. What does the total first year cost, including implementation and every module shown in the demo? Who administers the system once it is live — our supervisor, or someone whose job is configuration? What does the guard app look like in the language my officers read, on a real phone at a real post? And what happens in a basement with no signal — shown in airplane mode, not described on a slide, including which records survive and what time each one carries? The answers work on us as well as on them.
