Ezitracker has a host of features that will directly appeal to security companies
Ezitracker(formerly Panztel), the UK’s leading remote workforce management service, have embarked on a major business drive aimed at specialist security companies and facilities management providers that offer security services.

Already adopted by many of the UK’s biggest employers of field based staff, Ezitracker has been specially configured to offer specific, tailored benefits to security companies. The sales drive will be spearheaded by newly recruited Les Wright as Head of Security Sales, along with a support team.

Commenting on Ezitracker’s entry into the security sector, Les Wright said, “More and more security service clients are demanding accountability by insisting on independent verification of attendance, especially for services like mobile patrols. And the perfect way to meet this need for proof of service is with Ezitracker. Ezitracker transforms the management control of remote working staff, showing their whereabouts in real-time and confirming that site visits and work shifts have been completed as required.”

Ezitracker has a host of features that will directly appeal to security companies, for example it can verify hourly check calls – proof that a visit was made – it can generate confirmed attendance reports for shift handover personnel and it can match actual to planned visits – enhancing accountability. And staff ‘no-show’ alerts to supervisors mean remedial action can be taken to avoid any service breakdown, maintaining good relations with clients.

Les Wright adds, “Nor can the back office benefits of using Ezitracker be underestimated; Ezitracker gets costs down by eliminating the labour-intensive administration involved in paper timesheet processing. In addition it eradicates payroll overpayments, discrepancies, time fraud and disputes. And by providing a precise third party record of actual hours worked by security personnel it gets payroll costs down.

“We know too that for security companies, managing rotas and shifts for the next 24 hours can be complex and critical, especially when constant changes have to be made to avoid any service breakdown. With Ezitracker, staff scheduling and planning for the next 24 hours is greatly simplified; changes to work schedules can be made instantly. It means notifying team members about covering for other jobs or changes to patrol routes can be announced in real-time with auto confirmation back from staff.

“Quite simply, whether it’s to help effectively manage the next 24 hours or the next month, we genuinely believe there is no better management tool than Ezitracker.”
