What VIGILANT does

VIGILANT, the commercial brand of RADIOBIT SISTEMAS SL, is a Spanish technology company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Benidorm, Alicante. It designs, manufactures and commercializes integrated time-and-attendance, access control, patrol monitoring and workforce management solutions that combine proprietary hardware terminals — NFC card readers, PIN terminals, QR code scanners, biometric fingerprint readers and the LECTOR EASY patrol reader — with a suite of software products including APP VIGILANT PROFESIONAL, APP VIGILANT PERSONAL, a planning-and-tasks module, a visitor management app, the cloud-based VigSACloud service, and Presencia Activa Virtual for GSM-based active presence verification. The architecture is a terminals-plus-platform model with Firebird SQL / Paradox backends and ERP integration, and the company holds sub-brands Vigilant Care (home assistance), VIGILANT APPCC Digital (collective catering food safety) and Active Security.

The business model is a vertically integrated hardware-plus-software-plus-services stack. Vigilant manufactures its own terminals in-house and sells them alongside software licenses, recurring cloud subscriptions (VigSACloud, Vigilant Care) and professional services for implementation, support and consulting. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales targeting large accounts (Xerox, ISS, Grupo Eulen, Ilunion, Segurisa, Itau, Lusiaves), a formal "Become a Distributor" channel partner program for mid-market reach, regional offices in Lisbon, Santiago and Mexico City for Iberia and Latin America, and a self-serve website with a six-language storefront. Primary verticals are security companies, cleaning services, facility management, collective catering, home assistance and socio-health centers, where Spanish/Portuguese mandatory digital time-tracking ("Registro de Jornada") compliance is a central value proposition.

VIGILANT is a privately held, bootstrapped, founder-owned company with no disclosed venture or private-equity funding, no parent entity, and no IPO plans identified. It claims 1,753 clients, 98,355 managed work centers and 218,752 tracked workers, operates with 11-50 employees, and is GDPR/LOPDGDD compliant with a named Data Protection Officer. Revenue, headcount growth and financial KPIs are not publicly disclosed.
