Security Guard Software for Shopping Centers & Malls
A Modern Way to Manage Shopping Center Security, Patrols, Incident Reporting & Tenant Communication
Including the exclusive Community Watch App for an additional layer of security!
Shopping centers and malls present unique security challenges. From expansive parking lots or parking garages, multiple entrances to busy retail stores, restaurants, common areas, and loading docks, maintaining a safe and secure environment requires coordination, communication, and accountable security officers.
Whether you manage security for a mall, an outdoor shopping center, a neighborhood retail plaza, or a large commercial property, a “Traditional” guard tour system won’t do.
You need Modern Security Guard Software that connects your security officers, supervisors, property management team, tenants, and customers.
And that’s exactly what AccountAbility provides.
AccountAbility is a powerful, easy-to-use, and affordable Security Guard Management System designed to help security companies and in-house shopping mall security departments manage patrols, verify officer activity, Document Security Incidents, communicate with their mobile workforce, and keep property management informed.
Shopping mall security guard management software that is reliable, easy, and affordable. Call (800) 688-9633 or DEMO to see for yourself.
But there’s something particularly special that sets AccountAbility apart and above other security guard management system providers:
The Community Watch App
Imagine giving store managers, retail employees, maintenance personnel, and any members of your shopping center community that you choose a simple and reliable way to notify your security team when they observe suspicious activity or other security concerns.
That’s another layer of security and communication that makes an extremely meaningful difference, and is only available with the powerful yet affordable AccountAbility Security Workforce Management System.
AccountAbility brings your entire shopping center security operation together in one dependable, affordable and easy platform, only available here.
Is AccountAbility the Best Shopping Center & Mall Security Guard Software?
Shopping center security is about much more than having security officers on site. Mall managers and security directors need to know that guard patrols are being completed in real time, incidents are being documented reliably and accurately, security personnel are communicating with management, and important security alerts and reports are reaching the right people.
AccountAbility accomplishes all of this affordably, reliably, and simply.
Here are some of the advantages:
- Community Watch App: Give authorized non-security personnel, tenants, store managers, and other community members a way to report security concerns directly to your security team.
- 24/7 U.S.-Based Expert Support: Get assistance from people who understand the security industry and the software they support.
- GPS Security Guard Tracking: Monitor officer activity and review stored location information associated with patrol submissions.
- Digital Guard Tour Management: Verify patrol checkpoints using QR codes, NFC tags, or virtual GPS checkpoints.
- Real-Time Incident Reporting: Document incidents with descriptions, photographs, and supporting information.
- Daily Activity Reports (DAR): Keep management and customers informed through scheduled and real-time activity reporting options.
- Security Officer Management: Coordinate personnel, communications, timekeeping, attendance, and supervisory activities.
- Geofencing: Establish location-based restrictions for applicable sites, checkpoints, and users.
- Visitor Management: Support visitor notification and facility access workflows.
All of this is designed around three simple but rare principles that have guided AccountAbility from the beginning: reliability, affordability, and ease of use. Capabilities aside, these standards already place this among the best security guard tour and patrol software for malls and shopping centers.

The AccountAbility “Community Watch App”: A Major Advantage for Shopping Centers & Malls
Give Your Tenants and Store Managers a Voice in Shopping Center Security and Give Your Security Team Hundreds of Additional Pairs of Eyes and Ears
This is where AccountAbility really stands apart.
Traditional security guard management software focuses only on the security officers themselves, which is understandable.
But what about everyone else who works in or visits your shopping center?
A shopping mall or retail plaza is a community. It includes dozens, sometimes hundreds, of independent businesses, employees, maintenance personnel, vendors, and property management professionals.
These non-security personnel often observe things that security officers may not see during their scheduled patrols, especially in this age of cell phone cameras.
A store manager might notice someone repeatedly checking vehicle door handles in the parking lot. A maintenance employee might discover a damaged access gate. A restaurant employee might observe suspicious activity near a rear entrance.
With the AccountAbility Community Watch App/ Shopping Mall Crime Watch System, authorized people can communicate their concerns directly to designated security personnel or management in real time.
Instead of relying on someone to locate a security officer, make a phone call, or find the right person to notify, they can submit a security concern through a simple mobile app or desktop form. Including:
- The location of the security concern.
- A speech-to-text description of what was observed.
- A photograph if appropriate.
A Security Advantage Competitors Can Not Offer
If you operate A Security Guard Company that provides services to shopping centers and malls, the Community Watch App gives you a HUGELY valuable service to offer prospective clients.
Think about your next security proposal.
You’re no longer presenting only guard coverage, patrol verification, and incident reporting. You can now offer your clients a great way for their shopping center’s tenants and authorized personnel to communicate security concerns to your team in real time!
That’s a compelling additional benefit for shopping mall managers.
And if you manage your own shopping center security department, the Community Watch App gives you another way to involve your retail community in communicating important information to your security team.
More eyes and ears. Better communication. A safer and more secure shopping environment.
The Community Watch App/ Shopping Mall Crime Watch System adds a layer of powerful security available nowhere but AccountAbility. Call (800) 688-9633 or DEMO.
Reliable Security Guard Patrol Tracking for Shopping Centers
A shopping center can have multiple parking areas, entrances, stairwells, common areas, service corridors, loading docks, and other checkpoints requiring regular security patrols.
AccountAbility makes it easy to establish and Verify Patrol Activity using either QR Codes or NFC tag checkpoint scanning options.
Each checkpoint submission captures important information, including the officer’s identity, date, time, GPS location, notes, and optional photos.
Supervisors and managers can review real-time patrol activity through the AccountAbility Command Center and through the “Supervisor Menu” on their AccountAbility Mobile app.
This makes it easy to:
- Demonstrate security service accountability to shopping center and mall managers.
- Verify which patrol checkpoints have been visited.
- Identify missed or incomplete patrol activity.
- Review the timing of officer submissions.
- Observe how many times an officer has scanned any checkpoint during their shift.
- Edit reports received during patrols.
- Provide management with meaningful patrol records.
Whether your shopping center requires parking lot patrols, interior building patrols, perimeter inspections, or after-hours patrols, AccountAbility keeps the process organized and documented.
Shopping Mall Security Incident Reporting Made Simple
When something happens at a shopping center quick and accurate documentation makes a big difference.
Whether it’s a slip-and-fall incident, property damage, suspicious activity, a parking lot concern, a fight, or an emergency response, security personnel need a convenient way to report and Manage Incidents that occur.
The AccountAbility mobile Security Guard App allows officers to submit incident reports directly from any mobile smart device – iPhone, iPad, Android phone, tablet, or otherwise.
Shopping Center Incident Reports can include:
