Security is the industry BOOK ON was built for, and the one where it does the most: SIA licence checks and a renewal queue, BS 7858 screening, check calls, patrols, a control room board and an alarm response desk, all on the same record as the rota, the timesheet and the invoice. A static guarding contract, a nightclub door, a festival, a keyholding round and a CCTV control room are run by the same kind of company but not in the same way, so each specialism has its own page below. BOOK ON also runs other shift-based workforces; see all industries.
