January 2026 Release Notes

Happy New Year! The January 2026 release kicks off the year with a brand-new Help Center, mobile checkpoint scanning, native map support, and AI-powered admin capabilities.

New Features

Help Center Launch — A comprehensive knowledge base is now available for all users. Browse articles by role, search for answers, and find step-by-step guides for every feature on the platform. The Help Center covers admin, guard, and client workflows.
Checkpoint Scanning — Guards can now scan NFC tags and QR codes at designated checkpoints directly from the mobile app. Scan events are logged with timestamps and GPS coordinates for complete patrol verification.
Native Map Provider — Maps across the platform now use a faster, smoother rendering engine with offline support. Guard tracking, geofence visualization, and site maps all benefit from the upgrade.
Sign-Up Page — A new registration page supports both email-based sign-up and social login (Google, Microsoft), making it easier for new companies to get started with Attlock.
Pass-Down Templates — Create, edit, and manage pass-down report templates. Supervisors can standardize shift handover documentation across all sites.
AI Assistant & Admin Chat — Administrators now have access to an AI-powered assistant that can answer questions about site operations, help generate reports, and provide quick insights from operational data.

Improvements

Landing Page Mega Menu — The marketing site navigation has been upgraded with a mega menu that organizes feature pages, solutions, and resources for easier discovery.
Feature Pages — New dedicated pages for each major Attlock capability, helping prospective customers understand the platform's depth.
Checkpoint History View — Supervisors can view a complete timeline of checkpoint scans for any patrol route, making it easy to verify guard activity.
Template Versioning — Pass-down templates now track version history so administrators can review and revert changes if needed.
