Digital entry management
Gate Pass App for Housing Societies in Pakistan
Replace your society's paper register with QR gate passes residents create on their phones. Guards scan each entry, committees search the history, and everyone sees the same record.
Try it free for 30 days. No payment during the pilot.
Why societies need a digital gate pass
Most Pakistani housing societies still run their gates from a handwritten register. When a guest arrives, the guard writes the name, CNIC, and phone number on paper, then calls the resident for approval. At the end of the month, nobody can read the register, and the committee has no way to search who entered on a particular day.
A gate pass app fixes this: residents approve visitors ahead of time by creating a pass, guards scan a QR code instead of writing, and every entry goes into a searchable digital log.
How the gate pass app works
-
1
Resident creates a pass
Open the GuardWatch Resident app, enter guest details, and generate a unique QR code.
-
2
Share the QR via WhatsApp
The guest gets the pass on their phone. It's valid only for this visit.
-
3
Guard scans at the gate
The Guard app verifies the QR, confirms the host unit, and logs the entry.
-
4
Committee can search the log
Admin users filter visitor history by date, unit, or guest name whenever needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gate pass app for housing societies?
A gate pass app lets residents create QR visitor passes on their phone. Guards scan these passes at the gate to verify and log each entry. It replaces handwritten registers and phone approvals.
Society ka gate pass kaise banate hain?
Residents open the GuardWatch app, create a visitor pass with guest details, and share the QR code via WhatsApp. The guard scans it when the guest arrives.
How does mehmaan entry work with a gate pass app?
The resident creates a pass before the guest arrives. At the gate, the guard scans the QR, confirms the host unit, and logs the entry. The resident gets a notification when their guest is scanned in.
Can domestic staff use the same gate pass system?
Yes. Maids, drivers, and other helpers get their own Helper QR that works during their permitted daily hours. They don't need a new pass every day.
Guard hazri kaise record hoti hai?
Guards mark shift Time IN and Time OUT in the Guard app. The society admin can see attendance history for all guards, which helps track who was on duty.
Do I need an iPhone or expensive phone for this?
No. GuardWatch runs on existing Android phones. iOS apps are in development. Most societies use an Android phone they already have at the gate.
What if the internet goes down at the gate?
Scanning works best with an active data connection. We recommend having mobile data as a backup when the gate Wi-Fi drops.
How much does a gate pass app cost in Pakistan?
Plans start at $99/month (up to 200 units), invoiced in PKR by bank transfer. Every society gets a 30-day free pilot with no payment required.
