Monitoring for Parking Lot Safety

We were the first to offer a complete security management dashboard for managing a manned security program.

All Protos Clients Receive:
Client Portal Access
Our innovative, software-forward approach is truly our differentiation. From onboarding through ongoing support, security program health is monitored and measured using our proprietary data-rich software. All Protos clients are granted access to the Protos client portal, for as many users as needed. The platform is a guard force management tool that delivers improved transparency, accuracy, accountability and efficiency. It provides real-time data for greater visibility as well as historical data for identification of longer-term trends and analysis.
From ordering security services on your phone and ensuring your teams are currently onsite to tracking KPIs and downloading detailed reports, managing your security program is easy from one centralized location using the Protos client portal. Many customers also enjoy knowing that feedback provided on our software feeds the software development pipeline so future iterations of the client portal include enhancements driven by customer demand.
A Customer Success Team
Protos clients receive multiple layers of support. All clients are assigned a Service Agent as their single point of contact, and they are available for day-to-day matters as well as routine service assessments. National Account clients receive additional support through the Strategic Account Management (SAM) Program, ensuring we are scaling to meet your needs as your security program grows and changes. The SAM acts as a client advocate and offers strategic security program guidance.
These account team members are backed by our 24/7 dispatch and operations team, meaning assistance is always available. In addition to monitoring daily events, these teams assist with billing and invoicing, ensuring post fulfillment, new service requests, changes to existing assignments, communicating client portal updates and enhancements, and generally having the health of your security program in mind.
What our
retail clients
are saying
Testimonials A Fortune 500 national department store chain was routinely requesting service through the Protos client portal and then duplicating the same information within their requisition system. Although this process was not unmanageable, there was clear potential for streamlining work and increasing efficiency. Solution: By establishing an API integration between the Protos client portal and the client’s Oracle-based proprietary requisition program, new security guarding work orders began to be processed directly through the requisition system. Once a purchase is approved through the requisition system, it automatically requests the work to be done by the Protos dispatch team so the service can be provided in a more efficient and timely manner.
Fortune 500 Client
A Fortune 100 international retail company was routinely logging service through two platforms which was inefficient. Adding to this inefficiency, this system of manual duplication also occasionally led to discrepancies between what was entered into each system. Solution: By creating an API integration between Protos and CAP Index, the client received a streamlined process as well as a more holistic view of its risk levels. This integration allows for a seamless comparison of risks projected by CAP Index and actual incidents occurring at each location through Protos’ data.
Fortune 100 Client
A Fortune 100 retail pharmacy sought to have a more comprehensive view of its loss prevention and asset protection programs without having to merge reports from multiple systems. Solution: Protos created a data feed with multiple export options that would integrate with ThinkLP. The client is now able to export content in a way that helps them generate their own business intelligence solutions and data analytics.
