Real-Time Reports at Your Fingertips
One of the major benefits following the installation of Command Centre has been the increased and improved access to reports. Automatic reports can be sent, downloaded, and distributed at the click of a button, reducing manpower needs and ensuring up-to-the-minute insights across all sites.
“Today, I can say that across all our locations, no time is spent on reports. Reports are automatically downloaded and, with a single cross-check, are sent to our customers and internal management,” says a spokesperson.
Deneshkumar V, General Manager - Sales & Marketing, India, states, “Gallagher’s real-time reporting offers full visibility and control, with powerful reporting, real-time audits, and data management that provide reliable decision-making information, along with automated and scheduled reports for easy distribution.”
Adds Deneshkumar, “A single source of truth when managing data is essential. Integrations that allow organizations to streamline access management, eliminate duplication, and swiftly disable permissions with a click are vital.”
Facing the Future with Visitor Management
Gallagher’s Visitor Management, integrated with Command Centre, is a highly configurable access control system that supports organisations with single or multiple receptions, multiple locations, and tenanted buildings.
Visitor Management allows organizations to:
Identify and manage visitors
Print visitor badges
Issue visitor access cards
Assign escorts to visitors
Notify hosts upon visitor arrival
Generate visitor reports
A client currently using Gallagher’s Visitor Management system at one of their sites has plans to roll it out across all locations to streamline processes and replace the current system of manually verifying identity at each floor. This will also provide a comprehensive and up-to-date record of all visitors to the site.
“When it comes to protecting your site, ensuring the right people have the right access at the right time is crucial. Our Visitor Management solutions help keep workplaces secure so organizations can be confident that everyone onsite is authorized to be there,” says Deneshkumar.
A spokesperson for the data center confirms that Visitor Management has supported business efficiencies while reducing labour costs and enhancing security without any associated time delays.
Gallagher’s award-winning security solutions ensure protection from curb to core. With integrations spanning people, business, building, and site management, you can be assured of complete functionality, scalability, and security across your site, helping you protect what matters most.
