No matter the size, manufacturing businesses have complex security needs and face challenges with advances in technology and other factors that affect the success of a company. As your business grows, managing larger facilities, adherence to safety regulations, health and safety, security and actually finding time to run your business lead to an extremely busy schedule.
You may want to consider a security solution.
Security solutions have evolved to match the needs of the businesses they are provided for. A few CCTV cameras, burglar alarm and a security guard are no longer enough to make sure your firm is properly secured. Depending on your needs, security solutions can offer services such as 24 hour monitoring, controlling access to the premises, video surveillance and even virtual security measures to ensure the safety of your company.
Here’s why your business needs a security solution.
1. Cost
Right now, how much are you paying for your security alone? Staff members to patrol in and out of business hours, alarms and cameras that need regular and expensive servicing serve as added expenses to maintain the safety of your company. Outsourcing security could mean a drastic cut in overheads. Solution providers would allocate their own highly trained workers that have the necessary experience within the manufacturing sector to be able to carry out their duties through technological devices at potentially a much smaller price than your previous outlays.
2. Time
Not only does using the provider's staff members save money, it also saves time on hiring and training your own security workers. Packages tailor made for your firm save the time you would have spent researching your options, testing different alternatives and weighing up costs. The staff that would normally carry out this work and the extra security work needed would now be free to perform more important, revenue making jobs.
3. Security
Yes, we’ve mentioned security guards, but you’ll need much more than that. Security solutions can provide heightened measures to make sure your goods and services are safe arriving, in and leaving the premises. Some companies specialize in thumbprint access technologies that cover your more volatile or expensive products, and station staff at all restricted entrance points to add another layer to your protection. Sophisticated intrusion detection services mean that your company is secure whether you’re open or closed. Feeds of all security measures can also be monitored by using cloud-based smartphone technology, allowing a live feed for your peace of mind.
Another factor in making sure your property is safe is monitoring the goods. Certain products may need to be kept at stable, consistent temperatures as fluctuation can cause them to become inflammatory, explosive or charged in dangerous ways. This can be done on the property or from a remote location - meaning that if you have several different premises, all of them can be covered at once.
