Step 2

Count Together in Real Time

Every tap syncs instantly across all connected devices. Security Team Leads & Head Guards can count simultaneously from different locations while the totals update live. When you're done, export your vehicle entries data to CSV or Excel for reporting and analysis.

The Problem & The Solution

The Inherent Flaws of Manual Gate Accountability

When the weather turns, your paper visitor log turns into illegible pulp. Guards waste critical seconds squinting at smudged ink trying to verify if a vendor has actually signed in, creating bottlenecks during peak flow. The single biggest liability, however, occurs during the critical shift handoff. When the outgoing guard says 'we processed 85 entries,' and the incoming guard finds 80 shaky marks on the clipboard, that discrepancy creates an immediate security gap and destroys reliable In/Out accountability.

Furthermore, paper logs are static and localized. If the Command Center needs an immediate visitor count mid-shift—perhaps due to an external incident—the guard must physically stop processing vehicles to radio in a manual calculation. This pause compromises both security efficiency and the professional image of your access control point, leaving your entry vetting process vulnerable to human error.

⚠️Stop relying on paper visitor logs and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: The Modern Standard for Centralized Gate Security

SnapCount eradicates the risk inherent in manual tallying by providing a centralized, real-time access control dashboard. Whether you have two entry points or six perimeter checkpoints, every tap registers instantly across all guards' devices. This means the Head Guard in the central office sees the same running total as the officer managing the vehicle queue, eliminating guesswork and ensuring perfect situational awareness.

The core value is the 'Multiplayer Tally.' When Guard A is processing commercial trucks and Guard B is vetting employee badges, the total count remains consolidated and indisputable. This instantaneous synchronization ensures that when the shift changes, the handoff is flawless, backed by digital evidence, guaranteeing zero ambiguity regarding the current status of site access and ensuring accurate In/Out accountability.

How Security Team Leads & Head Guards Use SnapCount for Gate Security

Security Team Leads & Head Guards across the gate security industry rely on accurate, real-time counting to make informed decisions. Whether you're tracking vehicle entries, personnel badges scanned, contractor sign-ins, or managing counts across multiple locations, SnapCount replaces fragmented manual processes with a single collaborative tool. Instead of passing clipboards, shouting numbers, or reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the day, your entire team counts into one shared session that updates instantly.

Traditional methods like paper visitor logs break down when multiple people need to count at the same time, when counts need to be visible across locations, or when you need a historical record of your data. SnapCount solves all three problems: multiple security team leads & head guards can tap simultaneously on their own phones or tablets, the running total is visible to everyone in real time, and every count is logged with a timestamp for later review or CSV export.

Getting started takes less than a minute. Create a free session, name your counters to match your gate security workflow, and share the link with anyone who needs access. There's nothing to download, no accounts to create for viewers, and the interface works on any device with a web browser. For security team leads & head guards who need persistent data, team management, or advanced analytics, paid plans unlock additional features while keeping the same simple counting experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for gate security

How does SnapCount handle multiple entry/exit lanes simultaneously?

SnapCount is a multiplayer platform. Every guard operating at any lane (Entry 1, Entry 2, Pedestrian Gate) contributes to the same dashboard in real-time. The total count reflects the combined activity across all checkpoints instantly.

Can we track different access types (e.g., VIP vs. General)?

Absolutely. You can create custom, color-coded counters within a single dashboard for specific access types—like 'Vendor Deliveries,' 'Employee Parking,' or 'Visitor Badges Issued'—allowing for granular, segregated counts.

What happens if connectivity drops at a remote gate?

SnapCount is engineered for reliability. Counters continue to function locally even without service, logging every tap. Once the device reconnects to the network, all accumulated counts instantly synchronize with the central dashboard, preserving data integrity.

How does this improve audit trails compared to paper logs?

Unlike paper logs which are susceptible to loss or damage, SnapCount provides a digital, time-stamped record of every entry event. This data is instantly reportable, providing an indisputable audit trail required for compliance and incident review.
