Product spotlight

Patrol Desk — proof your guards actually walked the route

Most of the malls and estates we work with already pay for security — what they don’t have is digital proof the patrol happened. Patrol Desk turns every checkpoint into a timestamped, photo-backed record your client can see without asking.

01
Checkpoint scans

QR or NFC check-ins at each patrol point, logged with time and guard identity — no more guessing whether a round was actually done.

02
Incident logging with photos

Guards capture incidents on the spot, with photo evidence attached automatically to the report.

03
Shift attendance

Clock-in/clock-out tracked per guard, per site, feeding straight into your contractor billing conversations.

04
Automated client reports

Property managers and mall owners get a clean, automatic compliance report — no manual write-up needed.

How it works

From tenant payment to landlord report — automatically

This is the exact flow running behind SmartValve every billing cycle — no manual reconciliation, no chasing receipts.

01

Tenant pays

Via M-Pesa STK Push, Paybill, Till, or a direct local bank transfer.

✓ Payment received
02

Auto-reconciled

SmartValve matches the payment to the right tenant and unit — instantly, with no human lookup.

✓ Matched to unit
03

Confirmation sent

An SMS or WhatsApp receipt goes to the tenant the moment the payment clears.

✓ Receipt delivered
04

Report updates

The landlord’s rent roll, arrears report, and statement update in real time — ready whenever it’s needed.

✓ Report ready
