Frequently asked questions

What should security guard scheduling software handle?

At minimum, test recurring post coverage, guard availability, qualifications or licences, site eligibility, weekly-hour limits, rest rules, time & attendance and how clearly the system shows any post it could not cover.

Is Rosterzen only for security companies?

No. Rosterzen can be configured for security scheduling, but it is not tied to one industry. The same scheduling engine can be used across healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, retail and other shift-based teams.

How does Rosterzen pricing compare with Guardhouse?

Rosterzen starts at $39/month, or $468/year, for up to 25 active workers. Guardhouse publishes licence tiers starting at $3,500/year. Team size, modules and contract terms can change the final comparison, so verify the current vendor quote before buying.
