It started at 2am.
ShiftTracker began with security operators — the people running guarding and patrols through the night, holding rosters together over phone calls, WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets. We watched the same failures repeat: a no-show the client spotted first, a check call no one could prove, a pay run that never quite matched the hours worked.
So we built the control room they didn’t have — agency coordination, custom forms, compliance, payroll and people, all in one place, with the unglamorous details handled by software instead of memory. Founded in 2025 and based in Leighton Buzzard, we’ve stayed deliberately small and close to the work.
It turned out the problem wasn’t unique to security. Cleaning and facilities crews, care teams, hospitality, logistics — anywhere people work in shifts across sites, the same gaps appear. Today ShiftTracker runs for all of them, and the mission hasn’t changed: make sure the plan holds and nothing falls through the cracks.
