Life Safety Made Simple

 

One Trusted Vendor

They’re called Life Safety Services—fire alarms, sprinklers, extinguishers, security and monitoring services—because they save lives, as well as property. Often, implementing those services in your business or residential properties is done through several vendors, which may appear to be a better financial “deal.” But in fact, too many vendors for your fire and security services may be costing you money.

The Value of Reviewing Your Vendors

A periodic review of your vendors and services is a smart practice for every business. Yet businesses tend to avoid the task. I’ve heard the excuses: Property managers are afraid to consider making changes because they don’t want to upset the apple cart. Management companies look for ways to cut expenses and strengthen service levels so a property manager can be the “hero” by lowering costs and consolidating vendors.

Those excuses are wrong. Too many vendors actually make life difficult for business owners, management companies, and property managers. Annual inspections and periodic servicing have to be scheduled at different times throughout the year, which are difficult and time-consuming to coordinate between vendors. Disruptions happen many times when required service and inspections occur on a random basis. Inspection deadlines are missed and insurance premiums are higher. The pressure to get these inspections done increases and services end up being more costly than necessary.

Bundle and Save:  18 TO 1

Here’s an actual life services example. Hoigaard Village in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, had over 18 different vendor visits throughout the year to manage. The disruption to the community happened many times when required service and inspections happened on a random basis.

But when Brothers Fire & Security developed a bundled service plan, it eliminated multiple vendors and coordinated all their inspections at the same time. The result was an average savings of 25 percent on the cost of their services. Now that would definitely make a hero out of a property manager, right?

Take the Smart Integrated Approach

From a technical perspective, combining fire (alarm, sprinkler, extinguishers), security and monitoring services brings a streamlined solution all under one roof, which is exactly what Brothers Fire & Security does. A convenient, integrated approach to these mission-critical services saves valuable time and money. For residential properties, it supports the quality of life that’s important for residents and management alike.

Since 1994, Brothers Fire & Security has been making fire and security services simple and easy for our clients. We coordinate and schedule required service and inspections rather than multiple inconveniences throughout the year. We provide training on the sprinkler systems as an added value for property managers. If we are serving you in one area, we can cut your costs and improve your experience so you can concentrate on other things. Then we are always there to help and solve your problems when you call us. You can trust us to deliver what you need 24/7.

Hoigaard’s challenges had a happy ending. A personalized, bundled solution was put in place, and one vendor coordinates their services and inspections. A dedicated account manager from Brothers Fire & Security is a single point of contact. How much easier can your life services get?
