In high-stakes environments like manufacturing plants, even a small security lapse can lead to massive operational and financial risks. Traditional patrolling methods are often inadequate in ensuring 100% route coverage, making it challenging to hold guards accountable or optimize patrol strategies. This is where GPS-based solutions come in, driving better patrol compliance and accountability.
In this case study, we’ll walk through how a manufacturing facility used Safeorg’s GPS patrolling system to increase patrol compliance by 90%—reducing missed checkpoints, enhancing incident response, and streamlining security operations.
Patrol Compliance
The Challenge: Inconsistent Patrols and Missed Checkpoints
Before implementing Safeorg, the facility faced multiple issues:
- Guards frequently skipped checkpoints
- No real-time monitoring
- Incident reporting was manual and delayed
- Supervisors had limited insight into guard performance
Manual logbooks made it hard to track whether patrols were being conducted thoroughly and on time. As a result, there were frequent blind spots in the security coverage.
The Solution: GPS-Based Patrolling with Safeorg
Safeorg implemented its smart GPS patrolling system at the plant with the following features:
- Real-time GPS tracking
- NFC/QR-based checkpoint scanning
- Mobile app for incident reporting
- Automated alerts for missed or delayed checkpoints
- Performance dashboards for supervisors
Implementation Process
- Assessment & Planning: Safeorg conducted a security audit and created a customized patrolling schedule.
- Hardware Installation: QR/NFC tags were installed at all critical checkpoints across the plant.
- Training & Onboarding: Guards and supervisors received hands-on training with the mobile app and dashboard.
- Go Live: The system went live within two weeks of setup.
The Results: 90% Patrol Compliance in 60 Days
After just two months:
- Patrol compliance rose from 50% to 90%
- Missed checkpoints dropped by 75%
- Incident reporting was 3x faster
- Supervisors had full transparency via dashboards
The facility also saw:
- Reduced liability during audits
- Faster emergency response
- Data-backed decision-making for route optimization
Guard Feedback
Guards reported that the app made their job easier and more structured. It also reduced paperwork and ambiguity during shifts.
Supervisor Insights
Supervisors noted a major improvement in oversight and accountability. Reports could be generated instantly, and anomalies were caught in real time.
Why Patrol Compliance Matters
High patrol compliance ensures:
- Reduced security risks
- More efficient use of manpower
- Higher guard accountability
- Stronger compliance with safety protocols
Conclusion
Safeorg’s GPS-enabled solution transformed how this manufacturing plant managed security. Achieving 90% patrol compliance wasn’t just a metric—it was a leap toward operational excellence.
