Palmetto Guard is a modern operations platform designed for gated communities, patrol officers, and private security agencies. Built to replace outdated legacy systems with a unified, mobile-first experience — featuring two seamlessly connected apps. The staff app gives gate officers everything they need to manage access, log vehicles, and respond to incidents in real time. The resident app lets homeowners create guest passes, view their digital ID card, and stay connected to their community — all from their phone.
Streamlined dispatch tools for managing incidents and coordinating officer response across your community.
Residents create passes for visitors right from their phone. Guests receive an email with a barcode and links to save their pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
Modernized vehicle check‑ins with automated recordkeeping to support efficient gate operations.
Location‑aware tools that help officers navigate the community, view active activity, and stay informed on the move.
Integrated with Square for card payments — sell and issue community passes with a seamless checkout experience at the gate.
Broadcast important updates and emergency notifications to residents instantly via mobile push alerts.
Every resident gets a digital ID card with a live rotating barcode — scannable by gate staff or kiosks to instantly verify identity and access authorization.
Share HOA rules, parking policies, welcome packets, and more — residents access them anytime from the app, organized into folders.
Available on iOS, Android, and the web — giving residents, officers, and staff flexible access from any device.
Designed with a deep understanding of local needs, regulations, and community expectations.
Residents can check in at the gate and scan their digital ID without any staff involvement — reducing wait times and freeing up your team.
Works out of the box with license plate cameras, receipt printers, and card readers — no custom integration required.
Granular permissions ensure every staff member sees only what they need — from gate officers to community administrators.
Guests save their pass directly to their phone's wallet — no app download required. Just tap or scan at the gate.
