What it is
Guards log each transit at the gate on an Android tablet, with photographs, and check it against ban lists. Incident reports and a full audit trail sit alongside the transit records. The same system schedules the guard workforce that staffs the gates.

Relevance to government buyers
Installation access control, visitor management and contractor workforce tracking are the same problem at a federal site. GateTracker holds no FedRAMP authorization and no ATO, and we will not describe it as if it did. If your requirement looks like this, ask to see it working.
