      Boost Security ROI & Operational Efficiencies

      Discover how modern security systems can enhance business operations and drive ROI. Explore three daily use cases that leverage advanced security solutions to streamline operations, manage third-party access, and provide remote reception services.

      Boost Security ROI & Operational Efficiencies with these 3 Daily Use Cases for Businesses 

      Modern security systems for businesses offer use cases far beyond the traditional safety of people and protection of assets. Today, security management is more than peace of mind; it's an integral part of successful operations that delivers insights and new opportunities to drive operational efficiencies. 

      More and more, security operations are becoming multi-department initiatives leveraged in increased daily capacities that truly improve ROI. When the CSO, COO and CIO converge in the security boardroom, developments in automation and cost-savings arise. 

      Here are three daily use cases where security measures can provide significant benefits beyond safety: 

      1 Streamlining Internal Operations

      Ensuring compliance, increasing productivity, and performing safety checks are operational benefits of security systems that are here to stay. By integrating advanced video surveillance with live human intelligence, businesses can streamline and offload these tasks, saving time and resources. 

      Security Officers can leverage video surveillance to monitor and record employee operations, providing documented, visual verification that procedures and protocols are being followed correctly. Alternatively, routine video check-ins can help boost productivity amongst staff and increase accountability. This level of accountability can lead to increased focus and dedication, helping operations run smoothly and efficiently. 

      AI-empowered video solutions layered with human intelligence can also help identify operational bottlenecks and areas for improvement that otherwise might go unknown. A 24/7 watchful eye, identifying anomaly behavior, can help identify interesting findings that may be worth further investigation and improvement. In terms of traditional safety, these detection solutions can also help identify potential safety hazards, preventing accidents before they happen. 

      Intelligent video solutions coupled with human surveillance offer simple but powerful opportunities for efficiencies across internal operations. 

      2 Managing Third Parties

      Handling third parties and business partners who visit after business hours can also present valuable opportunities for improved access control and enhanced concierge-style services. 

      Closed businesses are at risk from theft, loitering, vandalism, and unauthorized dumping, making after-hours security essential. Managing trusted third parties is also important to consider. 

      The access control of after-hours business deliveries can pose significant security challenges. To keep operations flowing at anytime, we can augment on-site gaps with remote guarding-enabled video solutions. 

      Smart video solutions can set access zones for visitors, with AI alerting security managers to unauthorized access. When a line has been crossed, AI can alert Remote Officers of unauthorized activity. In response, Officers can view live video to determine if a threat is present, and use two-way communication as deterrence while notifying personnel. 

      This combination of technology and remote video surveillance not only enhances security but provides reliable records and trusted evidence of site activity. 

      3 Remote Reception Services

      Where on-site personnel are too costly or high-risk, remote reception services offer significant benefits. Businesses can provide professional greetings for all visitors when no staff are physically present. This not only improves the customer experience but also enhances security by helping to ensure that all visitors are vetted prior to entrance. Credentialing beyond access cards is more secure, professional and reliable. 

      At access gates after-hours, remote reception officers can verify credentials in a concierge-style, granting 1:1 access. This leaves no room for false entry or tailgating common with traditional technology alone. Managing access rights remotely with people and technology is a cost-effective strategy for maintaining a high-security protocol at susceptible times. 

      Maximizing Security ROI with Operations Integrations 

      Security is a long-term, sustainable investment, not just a cost of doing business or insurance policy. Security leaders that harness this reality can gain a significant competitive edge in operational savings.
