Challenges
What is hardest for security firms?
The security industry requires 24/7 coverage, skills checks and detailed documentation of all incidents.
24/7 scheduling
Night, day and weekend shifts must be covered without breaking working time laws.
Certification compliance
Guards must have the right authorisation – easy to miss renewal dates.
Incident documentation
All observations and incidents must be logged with time, location and action.
No patrol reporting
Without digital patrol documentation, hard to prove to the customer that patrols happened.
Alarm response communication
Fast dispatch of response jobs requires real-time visibility.
Complex payroll
Unsocial hours supplements, night and weekend allowances require precise time tracking.
