Palmetto Guard

The modern platform for premier South Carolina gated communities.

Coming Soon — Palmetto Guard is preparing for launch across South Carolina communities.

About Us

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 Built to replace outdated legacy systems with a unified, mobile-first experience — featuring two seamlessly connected apps.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.

Features

Calls for Service

Streamlined dispatch tools for managing incidents and coordinating officer response across your community.

Guest Pass Management

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.

Vehicle Entry Log

Modernized vehicle check‑ins with automated recordkeeping to support efficient gate operations.

Real‑Time Mapping

Location‑aware tools that help officers navigate the community, view active activity, and stay informed on the move.

Point of Sale

Integrated with Square for card payments — sell and issue community passes with a seamless checkout experience at the gate.

Community Alerts

Broadcast important updates and emergency notifications to residents instantly via mobile push alerts.

Digital Resident ID

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.

Community Documents

Share HOA rules, parking policies, welcome packets, and more — residents access them anytime from the app, organized into folders.

Cross‑Platform Access

Available on iOS, Android, and the web — giving residents, officers, and staff flexible access from any device.
