The Guardhouse team recently attended the Security Exhibition & Conference at the ICC Sydney, and it was an incredible opportunity to connect with partners, clients, and leaders from across the industry. The energy was palpable, and the discussions highlighted a clear theme: the security industry is rapidly evolving, with technology at the forefront of that change.
Here are our top takeaways from the event:
It's clear that the security industry is embracing innovation like never before. From advanced AI in surveillance to new software solutions, companies are looking for ways to streamline operations and enhance their service delivery. The demand for end-to-end solutions that cover everything from employee onboarding to incident reporting is on the rise. We were proud to showcase our platform, which is the result of over a decade of dedicated R&D and a commitment to innovation.
One of the most rewarding parts of the expo was meeting our clients and partners face-to-face. The event was a testament to the strong relationships that drive our industry forward. Our mission has always been to work in partnership with our customers to develop the world's best all-in-one workforce management software for the physical security industry. The conversations we had reinforced the importance of these collaborations in creating solutions that truly meet the needs of the market.
While technology is a key driver, the conversations continually came back to the people who make the industry work—the security guards and the teams who manage them. There's a growing recognition that effective workforce management isn't just about rostering and payroll; it's about ensuring compliance, supporting employee welfare, and giving teams the tools they need to succeed. This is why we've designed our platform to be easy to use, yet powerful enough to handle the complex needs of security companies.
Our team at Stand X20 had a fantastic time. We loved hearing about your challenges and sharing how our platform, which more than 500 security providers across the globe rely on, can help. We enjoyed the opportunity to meet many of you in person, and we hope you had as much fun as we did.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand and to the organisers for putting on a great event. We’re excited to take the insights we gained and continue developing solutions that help security companies become more efficient and profitable.
