Guardhouse has acquired Mobohubb, adding patrol verification and field reporting capabilities to its workforce management platform for physical security companies.

The acquisition expands Guardhouse’s presence in the U.S. market while adding Mobohubb’s patrol verification and daily activity reporting capabilities to Guardhouse’s existing tools for guard scheduling, payroll, invoicing, compliance and incident reporting.

Guardhouse operates a cloud-based platform that combines guard scheduling, GPS attendance, compliance, payroll inputs, invoicing and incident reporting. Mobohubb, based in Boynton Beach, Florida, provides mobile tools used by security guards and managers to run patrol routes, manage daily tasks and capture GPS-stamped proof of presence.

The companies said the combined platform will cover security guard operations from scheduling and timekeeping through field execution, patrol verification and client reporting.

Guardhouse currently operates in Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States. Its existing U.S. operation includes a Dallas-based team led by Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer Julian Cartwright. Mobohubb has served U.S. security operators for more than a decade and brings an existing customer base conducting patrols and site checks across multiple states.

“Security companies have told us for years that they want one system that runs the back office and the field, not two separate ones,” Guardhouse Co-Founder and CEO Jack Alpe said.

Alpe said combining Mobohubb’s checkpoint scans, patrol routes and activity logs with Guardhouse’s scheduling and payroll capabilities is intended to give security operators a single platform for managing their operations.

Cartwright said Mobohubb’s patrol and proof-of-service capabilities complement Guardhouse’s existing platform.

“Mobohubb's patrol and proof-of-service tools are exactly the kind of capability that makes a genuine difference on the ground,” Cartwright said.

Mobohubb Founder Federico Pena said existing customers will continue to have access to the platform following the acquisition.

“Mobohubb will continue to run for the customers who use it today, and they're joining a company that understands this industry and knows how to look after them,” Pena said.

Mobohubb’s team will move to Guardhouse, while customers of both platforms are expected to continue receiving their current service as the companies bring the two products together over time.

The transaction was supported by Sundance Growth, a growth equity firm that recently made a platform investment in Guardhouse. Sundance Growth focuses on investments in mission-critical B2B software-as-a-service companies.
