The Guardbay app enables security guards to find work as per their needs at a time that suites them, apply for the shifts that are available in the areas they target and get paid seamlessly at the end of the shift.
The Guardbay app allows the employers, the venue and facility managers to publish their security guards required vacant positions on the app, find guards for a specific position and know that the available guards are vetted, qualified and will show up for the job once accepted. The transparency of payments for guard services and the hassle of filling the vacant position last minute is gone.
A traditional security guards services contracting company with a visionary and ambitious founder has been trying to grow the business as a small business operator with reasonable success, but nothing that matches his ambitions.
He has an insight that most of his customers (major contractors or employers and venues who need the services of the security guards that he employs) are approaching the need of security guards in a traditional way and there has been no innovation for the last several decades.
He identifies that for his business to be a match for his ambition, he must adopt a highly scalable platform business model, and choose to partner with MVP to shape the future of his business.
Working together with MVP1, the founder identified that guards want assurance of continuous shifts and payment for the work they have done without waiting for too long, while the employers are always dealing with ensuring that sufficient numbers of guards are there at various venues to meet the business needs. A marketplace platform as ‘an Uber for security guards’ was conceptualised that meets the needs of both parties enabling guards to get the work and for employers to secure the guards services at a short notice.

The journey continues….
