How we cut after-hours alarm response from 28 to 9 minutes for a 47-branch private bank.

A standardised dispatch protocol, geofenced response zones, and quarterly accountability reviews transformed performance across the bank's national footprint.

The challenge

After-hours alarm response across the bank's 47 branches was averaging 28 minutes — well outside the policy SLA of 15 minutes — and the previous vendor's reports were inconsistent across regions.

Our approach

We re-mapped response zones around actual driving times (not straight-line distances), pre-positioned response vehicles in 9 hubs, deployed digital dispatch logging, and instituted a monthly client review with the head of premises.
