Simplifying Security Operations for a Prominent Security Firm
Client Overview
A well-known security services firm, that specializes in delivering on-site guard protection for commercial and residential properties, encountered difficulties in managing its expanding workforce and offering top-tier security services to its customers. The firm, which has more than 500 security guards stationed at several sites, looked for a way to increase productivity, guarantee responsibility, and provide transparency in day-to-day operations.
The Challenge
The security company’s potential to grow was hampered by a number of operational inefficiencies. Information exchange and event reporting were delayed by paper-based reporting mechanisms. Insufficient guard tracking resulted in patrol gaps, which decreased responsibility and raised the possibility of coverage breakdowns. Staffing concerns, including missing shifts and last-minute changes, were common due to complex scheduling systems. Clients had little understanding of the security measures being put in place on their premises due to a lack of real-time visibility into guard activities.
Success Metrics
The Solutions
We developed a solid digital solution adapted to the company’s unique requirements to solve these operational inefficiencies. We significantly increased the speed and accuracy of event logging by replacing the antiquated paper-based reporting system with an automated, real-time reporting system. The use of a GPS-based guard tracking system reduced patrol gaps by guaranteeing responsibility and offering real-time visibility into patrol routes. Shift management was simplified by intelligent scheduling software, which reduced the likelihood of missing shifts and made it possible to make last-minute personnel adjustments.
Moreover, a client transparency dashboard was developed to improve operational openness and foster confidence by providing clients with real-time visibility into security activities occurring on-site.
Finally, to increase overall efficiency and responsiveness, a mobile app was implemented, providing security personnel with real-time updates and capabilities for on-site reporting.
Achieved Results
An astounding 80% decrease in missed patrols and a 70% improvement in reporting speed were the results of the new reporting system. Furthermore, a 50% increase in scheduling accuracy resulted in more effective operations. These improvements have a major impact on accountability and efficiency as a whole.
