Digital solutions in the security sector have to deliver on one thing above all: they have to work in the field. Not in presentations or concept papers, but where time pressure, responsibility and operational complexity converge.

As part of an employee survey of 100 staff from security companies who actively use OnDuty AI in the field, 30 people took part. The results paint a clear picture: OnDuty AI delivers measurable value in day-to-day operations.

Efficiency gains from the staff perspective

A key finding of the survey is the noticeable reduction in administrative effort in daily operations.

The points mentioned most frequently were:

  • automated check-in and check-out processes with GPS verification

  • the elimination of manual timesheets and after-the-fact corrections

  • a clear overview of shifts, deployment times and tasks

For many staff, this means more focus on the actual security work and less time spent on administrative tasks.

High acceptance in real-world operations

The feedback from the 30 participants shows a high level of acceptance of the application in live operations. Under real deployment conditions in particular, the solution was seen as stable and reliable.

Points singled out for praise:

  • intuitive operation during active shifts

  • fast recording of incidents, observations and notes directly on site

  • structured and traceable documentation

Rather than being seen as an additional burden, OnDuty AI is experienced as a supportive tool in the field.

Transparency, trust and modern security work

Another central aspect of the survey: digital processes with OnDuty AI foster transparency and trust — for staff and for operations management alike.

Many participants reported that, by using OnDuty AI, they:

  • experience clearer workflows

  • see their working hours documented transparently and in a GDPR-compliant way

  • work in a more modern, professional environment

A particularly strong signal from the survey: 93.1% of the staff surveyed would actively recommend OnDuty AI, because the solution makes their working day measurably easier.
