Security Cost
Assuring Value – Thinking it Through
People often interchange price and cost, but it’s important to recognize the significant difference between the two. Remember the old adage, “Beware the security cost of the lowest price”? Well, it rings true. Just because a product is less expensive than its competitors’, doesn’t mean you save money in the long run. Sometimes, perhaps most times, you end up spending more in part because of time and efficiency lost to a mediocre service. Or, you could potentially spend twice as much as you’d originally hoped because you have to replace your current company.
- What is the wage of the officer?
- What’s the overhead of the security company?
- What’s the profit of the security company?
- Does supervision come through to check up on guards?
- Do they have real time GPS tracking, and online reports?
- Do they assign a 24/7 local account manager?
- Do they have experience in the security industry?
- Who are some of their clients?
In the end, United Security Services bases pricing on doing the job right
with the right security plan, the right security guards and the
right investment of time.
