FULLY CUSTOMISABLE WORKFLOWS THAT IMPLEMENT SOPs (STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES)
CUSTOMISABLE Workflows can be adapted to each organisations SOPs DYNAMIC Next tasks adapt dynamically to the each action or answer EASY TO USE Easy tasks that can be performed quickly by the operators STEP BY STEP Tasks are given step-by-step to improve the performance of the operators
Customisation
REDUCE OPERATIONAL COSTS By reducing local guards in remote sites MANAGE DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY By using legacy equipment together with megapixel cameras, video analtycs, biometrics, etc. RELY ON SPECIALISED PERSONNEL Central monitoring of security, safety, building management, cleaning, etc., made by the more skilled professionals IMPLEMENT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES By adapting operator guidance workflows to the organisations' SOPs GET CUSTOM REPORTS Custom reports with graphics are accessible anywhere through a Workstation, a laptop or a tablet
Advantages
OPERATORS USE A SINGLE INTERFACE Different systems are operated through a single interface REDUCED TRAINING COSTS AGORA is easy-to-use and easy-to-learn, which reduces the number of required hours of training EASES FILTERING OF FALSE ALARMS An optimised video verification eases the detection of false alarms, thus reducing the costs of sending people to remote sites due to false alarm information SIMPLIFIES AUDITING AND SUPERVISION The integration of different information coming from different systems into unified reports avoids the dispersion of information. It also optimises briefing to higher levels of the hierarchy, like operations directors or managing directors.
