Each one solved for the California operators already running Novagems.
Moving the data
We pull schedules, post orders, training records, and BSIS license documentation straight from TrackTik, Silvertrac, or Valiant in week one.
The transition period
A 15-day parallel pilot across as many California sites as you want. Your current platform keeps running, so there is zero rip-and-replace risk.
Guards on a new app
Our team trains every guard, including graveyard shifts. We have onboarded 200-guard California operations in under three weeks.
Why California operators choose Novagems
Purpose-built for security work, with California labor rules baked into scheduling.
Built for security ops
Not a repurposed field-service app. Built around the guard workflows California agencies run every day.
Pay per active guard only
No charge for inactive, seasonal, or off-roster guards. Across a large California roster, that adds up fast.
All features in one plan
Scheduling, GPS, patrols, incidents, client reporting, and payroll in one plan. No add-on modules.
500+ companies trust us
From single-site guards to statewide California contracts. Same platform, same support.

Common questions from California operators
The ones we hear most from California ops directors.
What if we're still using other software?
Start with our 15-day free parallel pilot: run Novagems next to your current platform across as many California sites as you like. Compare features, plans, and how your team actually uses it. If it fits, switch on month-to-month with no annual contract.
What happens to our historical incident data?
All historical records migrate with you. Audit-ready from day one.
How does training work for remote or overnight posts?
Live video sessions for every guard with replays available, so anyone joining a remote post can be onboarded the same day.
What if we have unionized guards?
We've worked with several union shops. CBA-compliant scheduling and reporting baked in.
