BIRDSEYE’S BEGINNINGS
In 2005, we looked for better ways to improve productivity and security for our growing computer company. While travelling between various parts of our retail business, we realized it was difficult for managers to keep tabs on everything, everyone, everywhere – especially when not physically present.
Our merchandise would be misplaced or go missing, while overall staff efficiency would drop significantly with the lack of supervision. Hiring more supervisors wasn’t in the budget and highlighted the need for a different, more radical solution, giving birth to our Facility Optimization System concept.
Cameras were installed at various locations and initially monitored by management. Data was collected and used to improve security and operations – with dramatic results.
Knowing each interaction with the customers was observed and recorded, representatives delivered better customer service, sales went up, shrinkage significantly decreased, and costs went down.
From this inspired beginning, and after several years of infrastructure development, rigorous field testing and proof of concept testing, 2012 marked the official launch of the Birdseye Security Solutions offerings to customers.
With offices in Chicago and Toronto, and clients across the United States and Canada, we globally employ over three hundred and fifty employees, delivering remote security and facility management services.
