Addressing ECPTA's Concerns with Technology-Driven Solutions
Prepared by: L Matebese and P Matiwane Sauve Security Services (Pty) Ltd Mini Bid No. M/01/25/26 – ECPTA: Umtiza Nature Reserve
Our Commitment to ECPTA
At Sauve Security Services, we value transparency and accountability. Following our recent meeting, we've carefully reviewed each operational concern raised by ECPTA and developed comprehensive, technology-driven solutions.
This presentation outlines our actionable plan to enhance service delivery, ensure SLA compliance, and strengthen our partnership through innovation and responsive management.
Key Challenges Identified
Response Time Constraints
Current 5-minute SLA response time challenged by road conditions and office distance from site locations.
Communication Platform Preference
ECPTA prefers an alternative to the OLARM platform, citing concerns about Sauve Security Services' ability to deactivate alarms, and would prefer a different communication solution.
Patrol Verification Issues
Allegations of completed patrol slips without corresponding physical patrols being conducted.
Client Communication Gaps
Difficulty reaching Sauve Security for operational updates, queries, and real-time information.
Solution 1: Enhanced Day Presence
Response Officer with Vehicle Deployment
To address response time challenges and ensure immediate response capabilities during day hours, we propose deploying a dedicated response officer in a vehicle to be stationed at Umtiza Nature Reserve.
Key Benefits:
Immediate response to incidents with rapid deployment across the reserve
Enhanced mobility allows coverage of larger areas and varied terrains
Ability to carry comprehensive equipment for various incident types
Faster incident reporting and assessment from a mobile base
Full SLA compliance with response time requirements
Enhanced visible security presence for deterrence, especially through vehicle patrols
Implementation: Immediate deployment upon approval
Solution 2: Advanced Alarm Communication
Transition to RF-Based System
We will transition from the current OLARM platform to a dedicated RF-based (Radio Frequency) system. This decision is in response to client preference and addresses specific concerns regarding OLARM's alarm deactivation capabilities. While RF-based systems also include comparable deactivation functionalities, this transition ensures we align with your comfort and preferences, providing a security solution you are more comfortable with and confident in.
