Security Guard Management for Cannabis Businesses
Who watches the watchers? Sure, you’ve hired the best people you can find, and you’ve done the pre-requisite background checks, but isn’t there more to it? There is. Let us help.
Keeping Your Security Guards on Task and Accountable is Key to Having a Secure Grow Facility or Cannabis Dispensary
Every cannabis business owner knows that security is a big issue for the industry as a whole. However, many haven’t gotten to the place in their operational security where they realize that they need an accountability structure for their security personnel.
- Are they completing their rounds?
- Are they checking on the inventory?
- Are they vigilant and alert?
- Are their reports accurate?
- Are they following procedures?
- Are they handling visitors and employees correctly?
- Are they accessing areas restricted to them?
You need answers to all of these questions and more. Utilizing Security Guard Mangement software is the first place to start. There are half a dozen great options on the market today, and we’d be happy to talk with you about which one would work best for your operation. Best of all, we aren’t financially tied to any one product, so we can give you the unbiased advice you need.
What Are the Most Important Features to Look for in Security Guard Management Software?
- Ease of Use – The software has to work easily for both your guards and your management staff.
- High-Level Reporting – The software must have the ability to produce at-a-glance reports as well as have the capability of “drilling down” to specific data related to incidents.
- Cloud System – The software must have the ability to store data both on-site and in the cloud. That data must be inaccessible to the security guard staff except for data entry.
- Automatic – The software must not depend solely on security guard data entry. Data about rounds, zone access, etc. must be collected through the physical security system and integrated to the guard management software to get an accurate picture.
- Real-Time – The software must report in real time to an online control panel. This allows management to receive alerts, see trends, and make informed decisions in real time.
