Sydney, Australia and Boynton Beach, Florida: 17 August 2026. Guardhouse, a leading workforce management platform built for physical security companies, has acquired Mobohubb, a field operations platform used by security guards and managers to run patrols, log site tasks and generate proof-of-service reports. The acquisition adds patrol verification and daily activity reporting to Guardhouse's existing platform for guard scheduling, payroll, invoicing, compliance, and incident reporting while expanding its U.S. market presence.
Guardhouse offers a cloud-based platform that brings guard scheduling, GPS attendance, compliance, payroll inputs, invoicing, and incident reporting into one workflow. Mobohubb, based in the United States, provides mobile-first tools that help guards and managers run patrol routes, manage daily tasks, and capture GPS-stamped proof of presence across sites and shifts. Together, the combined company covers the full guard lifecycle, from scheduling and timekeeping to field execution, patrol verification, and client reporting.
The Guardhouse platform currently operates across Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States, including a Dallas-based team led by Co-Founder and CPO Julian Cartwright. The addition of Mobohubb accelerates Guardhouse's momentum in the U.S. market, bringing an established base of American security operators already running patrols and site checks across multiple states. The combination gives U.S. security operators a deeper, more connected toolset for managing their field operations.
The physical security industry is one of the largest workforce-intensive markets in the world. Industry research from the Security Industry Association and ASIS International estimates it employs more than 30 million people globally, yet software adoption across the sector has lagged behind other industries of comparable scale.
"Security companies have told us for years that they want one system that runs the back office and the field, not two separate ones," said Jack Alpe, Co-Founder and CEO of Guardhouse. "We already operate as a global platform, across Australia, the UK, New Zealand and the U.S., and Mobohubb strengthens exactly the part of the business we've been building out of our Dallas team. Mobohubb's customers already trust it to prove the job got done, checkpoint scans, patrol routes, activity logs, and bringing that together with our scheduling and payroll gives operators a single platform for the whole operation. We've got an ambitious roadmap ahead, we ship fast, and we build what we ship by listening closely to what our customers tell us they need next. Mobohubb's customers are joining that conversation, not just a bigger platform."
Julian Cartwright, Co-Founder and CPO of Guardhouse, said the acquisition sharpens what Guardhouse can build for security operators in the field. "Mobohubb's patrol and proof-of-service tools are exactly the kind of capability that makes a genuine difference on the ground and bringing them into Guardhouse means every customer gets a single platform built for how security operations actually run, not a patchwork of tools stitched together. Our ambition is for Guardhouse to be the platform this industry can't imagine operating without, and this acquisition moves us closer to that."
Federico Pena, Founder of Mobohubb, said the acquisition means Mobohubb customers can keep relying on the platform they know. "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."
The transaction was supported by Sundance Growth, whose continued investment underscores confidence in the combined company's strategy, market opportunity, and growth trajectory following its recent platform investment in Guardhouse. Mobohubb's team will move across to Guardhouse, and customers of both platforms can expect their current service to continue while the two products are brought together over time.
