What is “In-app Messaging”, and how is it useful for a security guard business?

Simply, in-app Messaging allows the management of a security guard firm to communicate information to the mobile security workforce in real-time. If two-way in-app messaging is activated, then security officers in the field can message managers as well, whether in response to an in-app message that they received, or information about whatever they need to advise management of.

The security guard messaging app feature is useful for several reasons:

    • Enhanced Situational Awareness

security-guard-in-app-messaging-alertA site Supervisor or Manager can use in-app messaging to alert the officers at a site of changes there. Whether a torrential rain has caused flooding in some parts of the property, one of the buildings caught fire in the night, there are detours in the way a security officer will need to approach the property, or any other development, in-app messaging can alert the security guards. And if two-way in-app messaging is activated, the security officer who is on duty can alert management of the same. So, while an Incident Report–which would be completed in at least a couple of the examples given–will send a real-time alert in this guard management system, the mobile guard tours in-app messaging can also send a quick message to management, prior to beginning the incident report which may not be completed for an hour or two, depending on the nature of it. 

    • Post Order/ SOP Updates

This security workforce management software is equipped with easy Post Orders/ SOP mobile access. Post Orders/ SOP Management is controlled through the Command Center/ “Admin Portal”. When a manager uploads new post orders to a site, in-app messaging is a quick way to alert the security officers patrolling that site to check their new post orders/ SOP, and acknowledge, if requested.    

    • Communicating New Information to the Mobile Workforce

A common use in this regard is a BOLO (Be On the Lookout for), describing a person or vehicle and what to do if encountered. This can be sent to everyone in the system, or to individuals at a particular location. Anything from a new company policy to data on a company-wide meeting can be relayed this way.security-guard-app-in-app-messaging

    • Mobile Security Officers Acknowledging Receipt of New Data

Two-way In-app messaging allows security guards to message management (only). The excellent “Pass-down Log” built into this guard tour system will alert security officers coming on duty for the next shift of information that they need to know about, but this in-app messaging is a security feature, and not meant for “texting” fellow security officers. In-app messaging is a great way, however, for a security officer to acknowledge receipt of a message sent by management, if directed by management, and if the two-way feature is activated.

    • Dispatch

The Admin Portal, which should be open to a Dispatcher as a Level 2 (or Level 1) manager, has a Real-time GPS Map on the home screen. The map reveals the positions of your security officers, as well as real-time traffic, and can be viewed in satellite or map mode. This simplified “dispatch” tool allows a dispatcher to see who is currently close to a site that a security officer needs moved to, and message that security officer to move to that location and acknowledge.  

    • Improved Compliance

Simply, in-app security guard messaging is just one more way to be sure everyone is doing what they should be doing.

    • Increased Efficiency

The increased efficiency that security workforce in-messaging delivers comes from a combination of all of the above, plus some. This security officer tracking/ monitoring system and the Guard Tour App downloads are made to smooth security operations as much as humanly (and technologically) possible. And smoother security operations make for a better experience for everyone, from the COO of your security guard company, to your customers, to a brand new security officer hire.
