The intelligence platform for
Pub Watch Schemes

Platform Features
Everything your Pub Watch scheme needs
Purpose-built tools for managing bans, sharing intelligence, and keeping venues safe.
Digital Ban Register
Create and manage bans with full details: photographs, reason, issuing venue, ban dates, and expiry. Every member venue sees the same live register instantly.
Photo Identification
Attach photographs to every ban record so door staff and bar teams can identify banned individuals on sight. No more relying on names alone.
Cross-Venue Sharing
When one venue issues a ban, every member venue in the scheme is informed immediately. Consistent enforcement across your entire Pub Watch area.
Advanced Search & Filters
Search bans by name, venue, reason, or status. Filter by date range and active/expired status. Export results to CSV for meetings and reporting.
Audit & Compliance
Every action is logged with timestamps and user details. Demonstrate to licensing authorities and legal teams that your scheme operates transparently and lawfully.
Police Integration
Share intelligence directly with your local police licensing team. Give officers secure access to your ban register and incident data without informal channels.
