ON-DEMAND RELIEF & BACKFILL

Relief and backfill run on phone calls to whoever might be free, so gaps stay open longer than they should and the choice of cover is rarely optimal. The process is manual and reactive.

Actors

  • Guarding Supervisor
  • Resource Planner
  • Security Operations Manager

Systems / Vendors

  • Workforce / rostering
  • T&A / biometric
  • Guard tour / patrol (GPS)
