Everon helped a regional bank unify fire alarm and sprinkler inspections across 200+ sites, improving visibility, compliance, and 24/7 monitoring.
Managing fire and life safety across hundreds of banking locations is no small task—especially when multiple vendors are involved. A regional financial institution with over 200 sites across the Midwest turned to Everon to simplify operations, unify inspections and monitoring, and gain real=time visibility into their fire systems. By consolidating multiple vendors into one provider for fire alarm and sprinkler inspections and 24/7 monitoring—and adding eSuite online management—Everon delivered increased visibility, operational efficiency, and cost savings across the enterprise.
Background
With 200+ sites and counting across Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas, a regional banking and financial services customer needed unified visibility into their fire systems, which at the time were being handled by several different vendors. Their fire alarm inspections, sprinkler inspections, and monitoring services were being handled by different providers, causing a fragmented and disconnected service experience. The customer was also in the market for an online portal to gain crucial visibility into these systems, a solution that they had searched for in the past and were unable to find at a reasonable price point.
The customer approached Everon to see if the company could provide all services, including fire alarm and sprinkler inspections and monitoring, and the Everon team of experts were eager to step up to the task.
Solution
Everon met with the banking services customer, listened to their concerns, and quickly understood the value they would gain in enlisting one provider for their fire and sprinkler test & inspection service and alarm monitoring. With over 200 sites across multiple states, managing the day-to-day operations of their business was already a challenge, and having a partnership with one trusted fire and life safety provider would not only serve to streamline their service experience and address operational needs, it would also enhance the overall quality of their fire and life safety program across the enterprise. Everon’s monitoring services helped the customer secure their business with 24/7 professional protection so they could focus on what matters most – running their business and ensuring a quality banking experience for their own customers.
In addition to the ease of working with a single provider that provides around-the-clock monitoring, Everon was also in the position to offer the customer a service that they had been searching for in the past – a single-source account management platform with eSuite. With eSuite, the customer now had the ability to manage their own account across multiple locations. Critical features of the online platform include being able to update contacts and alarm codes, place systems on test, and access to to-the-minute actionable insights across their organization. And when considering the cost-effectiveness of the solution, the customer was pleased to learn that access to the eSuite platform was included with their Everon monitoring services – providing incredible value and ease of mind.
