Quicker Response and Better Service.
Devising personal alarm and security solutions requires specialist knowledge, and an understanding of the daily realities facing supermarket staff and managers. It also usually involves integrating various systems and technologies: 3G, WiFi, LF, Paging, RTLS, base stations, IR tags. And that’s before the solution is even commissioned. Then comes staff training, scheduled maintenance, around-the-clock support, and software updates. Your organization’s needs may change, too. You may want to refine your solution’s location accuracy. You may want to implement ‘man-down’ and ‘no-movement’ features. You may want to integrate your staff’s handsets with fire, refrigeration and other technical alarms. Or you may want to equip staff with Ascom d81 ‘Protector’ handsets, quite possibly the most robust handset ever made. Whatever your supermarket security needs, Ascom will find an answer.
