subject: Security Officer Mobile Technology With Guard Buddy [print this page] Technology has become such a big part of our everyday lives; we surely take it for granted how these advances have improved our lives and the way we do business on a daily basis. Take for example Apple iTunes and the Android Market; both are developing new apps every day. They provide a voluminous choice of software applications to use on your iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices.
Finally a mobile app technology that can save time and money for security patrol officers and guarding service companies is here. One of the latest applications developed by security officers currently working within the security patrol and alarm response sector of the security industry, is called Guard Buddy.
This application means you can stop spending money on triplicate, number embossed, report books and stop looking for more storage room to put the used books. You wont need to explain why an alarm response docket or patrolmans report note wasnt left on site (because it got blown away or the dog ate it).
Guard Buddy provides a solution for the creation of thorough Patrol Incident and Alarm Response Reports. These reports will give a complete picture of what happened during your inspection, to the client. Save a copy and Email a professional report directly to the client or any of the parties required, from within the app. These reports include scene photos with room for a brief description. For detailed information of the fields included in the reports, please refer to the Features page on guard buddy.
Save time on training new security staff. The app has a built-in navigation feature that uses Google Maps Street level directions in Real Time. Simply enter the job address in the report and click Get Directions, when youve reach your destination simply close the window within the app and continue writing the report.
Guard Buddy not only benefits security patrol service companies but also the individual security officers wanting to maintain their own records. Guard Buddy is the best, most cost effective, stand-alone solution for sending, compiling and maintaining these kinds of reports.
The release of this App is available on iTunes by mid-September 2012 and the Android Market by mid-November 2012.
