Pro Vigil

Is corporate breathing down your neck to keep costs down? Of course they are, they’re trying to run a business! This becomes a problem if they start investigating YOUR construction budget to look for excess spending. If you want to be a corporate hero (hey, there’s no shame in that) you should develop baseline metrics for your security programs.

It’s not enough to tell corporate that your security stopped a break in on the job sites you manage. This is great news and you’ll get a pat on the back but you’re still not speaking corporate’s language. Here are some of the data points you can track that will help you speak more clearly in the universal language of money:

1) Total number of incidents of theft or vandalism on your job site or sites
2) Total dollar amount spent - including man hours - on replacing vehicles, equipment and materials
3) Number of averted incidents
4) Number of incidents per month/year
5) Cost of security services

If you divide the total cost of security incidents for a year by the number of incidents then you’ve got your average cost of a security incident. Now when you’re talking with corporate and you’re all set to brag a little about stopping three incidents you can ALSO tell them exactly how much you saved.

Note:
Another important metric is your total cost of security services. Pro-Vigil provides live, remote construction site monitoring that stops incidents before they start at a cost that’s less than video cameras or guards.
