Compare Pulcify and Deputy for UK security workforce management. SIA licence tracking and UK compliance features.
Deputy is an Australian-origin scheduling platform popular in hospitality and retail. While it handles basic scheduling well, it wasn't designed for the compliance demands of UK SIA-regulated security. Pulcify is built from the ground up for compliance-critical UK operations.
Pulcify validates SIA licences at every book-on, tracks expiry dates, and generates ACS-audit-ready reports. Deputy has zero SIA awareness — it's a scheduling tool that doesn't know what a security licence is.
Pulcify is built for UK employment law, Working Time Regulations, and HMRC payroll requirements. Deputy is headquartered in Sydney and designed for the Australian and US markets first.
Pulcify uses facial recognition with liveness detection for every check-in. Deputy uses basic photo capture with no biometric verification — inadequate for high-security sites.
Pulcify's AI chatbot provides instant answers to operational queries across all sites. Deputy requires managers to manually pull reports from multiple dashboards.

Pulcify is purpose-built for compliance-critical, deskless industries — security, facilities management, hospitality and healthcare. SIA licence verification, BS 7858 vetting, facial-recognition check-in and audit-grade incident reporting are core product, not paid add-ons. Teams evaluating Deputy for UK security operations typically shortlist Pulcify when licence compliance and proof of presence matter as much as rostering.
