TEAM Clients Discuss Integrated Security Software

Integration is a much discussed topic around TEAM for good reason. It’s a vital part of our software solutions, one that provides many benefits like more efficient processes, better communication and cost savings. In a recent white paper published by Security Management magazine, several TEAM clients in the security industry shared some of the key benefits brought about by leveraging TEAM’s integrated software.

Simplified Scheduling

“WinTeam [TEAM’s core financial, operations and workforce management solution] is focused on security companies, so their scheduling is really strong for that type of business,” said Betty Ritts, Vice President of Information Technology at AlliedBarton Security Services. “It integrates compliance with it, so many of our officers’ licenses for various state requirements, as well as armed licensing is integrated. Also, the scheduling is integrated with payroll and billing, so it keeps it all together. That makes it much easier if you have to go back and audit for a client. And there’s a lot of good bells and whistles to help us to manage the business.”

Detailed Job Cost Reporting

Barry Williamson, Chief Financial Officer of GMI Integrated Facility Solutions, said his company finds the integrated system makes job cost reporting easier. “You can run an onscreen job cost on your computer, and there are drill downs to the source of every single number. So, if accounts payable is involved, you drill down and see the accounts payable invoice that makes up the entry. If it’s revenue, then you can drill down to the customer invoice that makes up the revenue. You can drill right down to the daily time sheet through payroll to see where those numbers are coming from. It’s the same with inventory. Without even getting out of your chair, you can see every component that makes up the revenues and costs to see where you’re missing the budget or where you’re performing well against budget.”

Streamlined Compliance Tracking

Denis Kelly, Executive Vice President of SunStates Security, sees the benefit of using TEAM’s software to track compliance and training for employees. “We have several hundred courses available for our people, from initial training to ongoing learning to customized courses. When someone takes a course, the challenge is tracking their results and ultimately seeing how they’re progressing as an employee. All of that information flows into WinTeam, so we can see everything from their initial background checks to when they’ve been hired and all the training they’ve completed.”

TEAM clients are finding that integrated software invites success in the security industry where it’s necessary to maintain effective cost control, closely track compliance, differentiate from the competition and manage distributed workforces. How does your current software compare?
