Guard Operations

Make Every Shift More Relevant.

Heimdall connects schedules, assignments, routes, checkpoint tasks, field execution and outcomes so guard teams can direct resources where they matter most.

Customer Proof & Measured Outcomes

Predictive intelligence connected changing risk to more focused security deployment at a 1.7-million-square-foot commercial property.

60%

improvement in analyzed guard-force operating efficiency

60.7%

reduction in serious criminal, safety and behavior-related incident activity over five months

Results reflect Davista analysis of real commercial-property deployment data. The efficiency measure describes output from existing guard resources in this deployment, not a verified reduction in spending. Results vary based on operating environment, reporting behavior, connected data and implementation scope. Review the evidence context.

From contract plan to continuous improvement

Run guard operations as four measurable stages.

Executives see portfolio value, supervisors direct each shift and officers receive specific, risk-informed instructions.

01

Plan

Define sites, posts, schedules, service levels and coverage.

02

Direct and execute

Assign officers, routes, checkpoints, tasks and verified mobile activity.

03

Review

Surface missed work, exceptions, response and supervisor decisions.

04

Improve

Compare risk, activity, service and outcomes to shape the next shift.

Inspect the working experience

See what the officer, supervisor and customer receive.

This representative product walkthrough uses synthetic information to show one shift moving from directed work to a usable service record.

Establish visible presence. Inspect Service Stair B and rear access. Watch for circling or stationary vehicles.

For security end users

Connect spend to protection.

See coverage, exceptions, response and outcomes in one current view. Hold the service to measurable operating objectives.

For guarding companies

Deliver a differentiated service.

Use customer data and patrol evidence to improve deployment, demonstrate value and support stronger renewals.

Capability connected to operating value

Control the work, verify execution and improve the next deployment.

Flexible tour design

Configure checkpoint, zone, road, overlapping or randomized tours with calculated dwell times.

Outcome: coverage matches the operating need.

Checkpoint verification

Use QR, NFC, geofencing and supported indoor positioning.

Outcome: required presence and work are verifiable.

Real-time exceptions

Flag timing, dwell, proximity, missed-checkpoint and geofence exceptions.

Outcome: supervisors focus on work needing attention.

Directed tasking

Generate or assign approved inspections, checkpoint actions and response steps.

Outcome: officers receive a reason, place, time and task.

Performance review

Review routes, tasks, response, recurring exceptions and service delivery.

Outcome: managers see what happened and what requires follow-through.

Impact analysis

Compare coverage and intervention with incidents, risk and recorded outcomes.

Outcome: the next schedule and route improve from evidence.

Choose an attainable starting level

Start with tour accountability. Add intelligence as the operation matures.

The same product line can support one guarded facility, several sites or a mature enterprise operation. The starting level depends on the decision and operating complexity, not company size alone.

A practical business starting point

Begin with one site, one shift pattern and one result.

Essentials can begin from site knowledge and operating rules. Risk-informed work can add selected incident, access or property-condition information.

01

Scope

One guarded facility, recurring coverage pressure or defined accountability problem.

02

Customer or provider

Assign officers and supervisors, approve posts, policy and field response.

03

Davista

Configure software, onboarding, data connections, training, support and fine-tuning.

04

Decision to continue

Evaluate completion, exceptions, priority coverage, supervisor effort and outcomes.

Operational accountability

Trace the patrol from assignment to outcome.

Risk-informed tasking becomes a verifiable operating record: what was assigned, where attention was directed, what was observed, who responded and what changed.

Choose the Next Step

Make one shift, site or portfolio more accountable.

Start with a tour walkthrough or a focused conversation about routing, tasking, verification and service outcomes. Historical data is not required for every starting use case.

  • Begin with site knowledge and operating rules
  • Add incident and risk data when useful
  • Measure execution and service outcomes

Within one business day, a Davista team member will confirm the audience and the workflow to show. A relevant 30–60 minute demonstration uses representative information and requires no customer data. If there is a fit, the conversation defines a sensible starting scope and what a focused pilot would require.
