Manned Guarding

For the majority of companies manned guarding accounts for the largest single cost of their security budget. Retailers alone spend in excess of £400M per annum.

With over four hundred suppliers to choose from, how do you decide the right supplier for your business? Which supplier will add value and will work in partnership with you to meet your goals? 

Price is important but if officers are untrained, not managed, absent or are unaware what you require; you may not have chosen the right provider.

Whatever your budget and size of operation we can help you choose the right supplier that will add value to your business and reduce losses.

We can provide you with:

• A comprehensive framework to procure the right supplier
• A recommended list of potential suppliers
• Assistance with the preparation of tender documents
• A scorecard to short list and eventually help you decide the right supplier who will work in partnership with you
• Facilitate supplier presentations
• Advice on KPIs to enhance the service your supplier delivers

By choosing the right supplier security officers working in retail can:

• Reduce stock and till losses
• Be proactive in reducing losses and providing solutions
• Be part of your team
• Be self motivated
• Communicate with management, staff and customers and provide excellent customer service

We have already demonstrated the benefits to organisations by taking a contemporary approach to training officers and the value this gives to the retailer and security supplier. More information can be found on the attached pdf - please click here to download.

This is the approach taken by Advance Security, who specialise in retail and supply chain security solutions.
