South Asia Management is a company that focuses on clothing and textiles distribution for many major brands in Hong Kong. Their office building is a 20-storey building located in the city center of Hong Kong that has been secured with various security facilities such as CCTV, alarm, patrolling guards and more. Even with all the security systems intact, the management still deploys teams of physical patrolling guards in and around the building to secure the safety of the company’s staffs, assets, and inventory.
Nevertheless, the current patrolling system being used by the guards is cumbersome when it comes to extracting data for reporting purposes. Due to the fact that the system is offline, manual data transfer from USB to PC is required after every patrol session and it often takes time which a city like Hong Kong cannot afford. The report formats also are not uniformly processed, and this adds more burden to the team to calculate the tardiness of patrol guards accurately such as absence and tardiness.
