About MGT

MGT is a leader in delivering cutting-edge physical security solutions that protect people, property, and assets across a wide range of industries. From cloud-based surveillance systems to wearable panic devices, MGT’s holistic approach helps organizations address the growing need for scalable, efficient, and easy-to-manage security solutions.

CHALLENGE: Inefficiencies cost time, money and customer satisfaction

Before adopting System Surveyor, MGT’s Physical Security department faced several challenges that impeded its ability to provide timely and accurate solutions to customers. The most significant hurdles included:

  • Opportunities for Process Improvement – Like many integrators managing fast-moving projects, MGT initially relied on a mix of handwritten notes, photos, and markups. While this approach worked, it was more time consuming, and it created opportunities for occasional inconsistencies and made installation and future servicing more time-consuming.
  • As-Built Documentation Enhancements – In some early projects, post-installation documentation wasn’t as detailed or centralized as desired, making it difficult to retrieve as-built details and project notes for service calls.
  • Managing Change Requests – Customer-driven scope changes occasionally required additional site walks and clarifications. Recognizing this, MGT sought tools to streamline communication and reduce turnaround time.

These challenges resulted in increased project timelines, costly rework, and occasional frustration on the part of customers.

SOLUTION: System Surveyor provides a unified platform for standardized design, real-time updates, and seamless collaboration

MGT discovered System Surveyor three years ago while searching for a solution to standardize system design and improve communication with customers. From the very first interaction with the platform, it became clear that System Surveyor was different from anything else on the market.

The platform’s field flexibility, which allows teams to design and make updates on tablets in real-time, combined with browser access from the office, was revolutionary. This combination allowed MGT to streamline their workflows and maintain consistent, clear communication throughout every phase of the project. The ability to collaborate in real-time with both internal teams and customers was exactly what MGT had been searching for.

Faster timelines, complete documentation, and real-time collaboration improved accuracy and customer satisfaction

With System Surveyor, MGT improved how field data is captured and managed, enabling quicker, more accurate system design and quote turn around time, while maintaining its established design methodology.

“System Surveyor makes customer collaboration smooth and effective, reducing the back-and-forth and improving overall satisfaction,” said Anthony Bastian, Senior Manager of Physical Security at MGT. “Not only does it save us significant time in both design and proposal preparation, System Surveyor also ensures our crews have standardized, visual instructions, which makes installations more accurate and efficient.”
