This independent and privately owned software company, which started in the United Kingdom and then turned into an international business, caters to the facilities management and support services industries, including the security sector and alarm response service providers.
Security guards are on the go, which means that they can be (and feel) disconnected from their companies. However, technology now enables security guards to stay in touch with the office instead of being lone wolf operators.
It may not provide the human touch, but mobile apps mean security guards don’t need to be on their own and input their shifts and other data manually on a cumbersome spreadsheet. With the touch of a button these apps give guards the ability to be more efficient with their reporting and gives business owners peace of mind when it comes to tracking, time management and data storage.

When it comes to apps aimed at security firms there’s a fair bit of competition out there but it’s essential to ensure that these software companies can provide you with the tools you need to manage your business effectively. There are other apps that are more general but there’s no reason why businesses can’t use them too. If they’re free, which many are, they’ll help to drive down costs. But bear in mind that these free apps can only do so much and if you need specific, customisable functions, you’ll have to pay for these.
