Securitas win award for innovation in the use of NFC technology within the Security industry

At the Over- C pre launch awards dinner held at London's Milbank Tower, Securitas were delighted to have their use of the Over-C system highlighted. This awards recognises in particular, innovation in the use of the Over -C system by our Store Detectives within selected Marks and Spencer stores. Over the last 3 years Securitas have been working with Over-C to find the best ways to incorporate NFC technology into our industry. As a result of this partnership Securitas now utilise the Over-C system across an ever increasing number of sites. The system allows for the real time exchange of vital information from photographic evidence to documented reports. Communication between the stores is key to loss prevention and the Over-C system is now playing an integral part in reducing stock loss

Speaking after receiving the award on behalf of Securitas, Gareth Ward commented: “I am delighted that the efforts Securitas and Over-C have made in fully utilising the benefits of NFC Technology within Manned Guarding are recognised"

The event was attended by many senior executives within the industry and provided a forum for sharing experiences and expertise in delivering innovation for manned guarding. The evening, which was held in association with Nokia, saw Industry specialists detail exactly how new technology is changing the way we communicate.

Gareth who successfully implemented the use of Over-C technology within Marks and Spencer stated: "We are looking to further develop our relationship with Over-C and of course to continue to deliver innovation to our clients through technology!"
