Local start up brokers security services

April 2016 News & Events

A small start-up situated in Fourways, Johannesburg, is changing the face of security providers nationwide. Specialising in technical installations across the niche world of business and personal security, Security Brokerz is providing customers around the country with a one-stop-shop, working with customers to create a quality and reliable security solution customised to individual requirements.

“We offer a product agnostic broker service, with a specific focus on the SME landscape, retail, home owners and new developments,” explains Shawn Nicholls, founder and owner, Security Brokerz. What this in effect means, is that it offers security solutions from a wide range of legally compliant security providers.

“Our core focus is to customise and recommend the most appropriate solution, based on our customers’ needs, as opposed to trying to push any particular product or solution.” Similarly, Security Brokerz is also focused on ensuring that the various product options available are on trend with latest technology, providing for a high quality and reliable offering, factors that are non-negotiable within today’s security industry.

With crime a daily reality and source of concern for most, if not all, South Africans, personal and business security remains of critical importance. “Protecting one’s family, employees and assets is a nationwide priority,” continues Nicholls. “Our goal is to remove the hassle factor, saving our customers time, while ensuring final implementation of a solution best suited to the task at hand.”

Not only is Security Brokerz leading the way with this type of brokered security solution but it is also first to market with its own rented alarm offering. “Flexibility is key and we are passionate about responding to customer demand,” continues Nicholls. As a result, in addition to its wide scope of offerings across installations – CCTV systems, armed response and guarding – Security Brokerz has launched the first rent-to-own alarm system. “It removes the need for a customer to tie itself into any one particular armed response company, thereby providing customers with the flexibility to change service providers without the risk of having the alarm removed.”

“It’s also about making engagement ‘easy’,” continues Nicholls. “We live in a digital world. As a result, companies need to offer customers the ability to engage via the platforms with which they are most comfortable.” To this end, prospective customers can request a quotation via a simple and easy to use web interface whilst also having the option to speak to a trained consultant.”
