A world leader in the realm of innovative incident management, safety, and security operations software, Halo Solutions Ltd recognises that connectivity is crucial when it comes to protecting as many people as possible. From universities and emergency services to festivals, arenas, public spaces, and transportation, Halo’s proven, innovative, life-saving solution makes it a fitting recipient of the title of Best Public Safety Solutions Company 2024 - Nottinghamshire. Transforming Public Safety, Saving Lives Founded in 2014 by a serving police officer, Halo has spent the past decade standing out in the security industry as a result of the innovation it brings to the field of public safety. A people-first organisation, Halo’s leadership team is comprised of experts with proven track records in both counterterrorism and general public safety, and it is this knowledge that has paved the way for the company’s software solutions, which have been developed with a full understanding of the operational challenges inherent in keeping people safe. At the heart of Halo’s offerings is the Halo System, a unique incident management platform that brings together ten different systems in one, covering such vital areas as task, people, and risk management. Innovation is a given and a constant across the solution, seen through the likes of the recent upgrading of its HaloEngage feature, which provides its clients’ customers (the public) with the opportunity to report any suspicious or threatening incidents directly to the event or location’s control centre. As the company’s own Vanessa Armstrong explains: “This helps our customers to manage incidents more effectively and means the public feel safer. It’s at the heart of our design and was created with direct feedback from those on the frontline of the Manchester Arena bombing and directly inspired by that incident. Because this is such an important part of the safety and security operations landscape, we are offering this feature free of charge.” This is not the only standout feature of the Halo System, and another noteworthy addition is HaloFusion, its remarkable multi-team mode. Allowing event or venue control centres to easily integrate external teams into their overall incident management strategies – be it the police, fire brigade, or another service provider – these teams will benefit immeasurably from being provided with clear and concise information in real time. With such industry-leading features as this comprising the solution, it is no surprise that it has been implemented across a range of diverse events and venues throughout the UK. From offering support at the Notting Hall Carnival to bolstering security at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone, the platform has covered some of the largest events this past summer. Beyond this, the solution is in constant use at the likes of the NEC in Birmingham, the ExCeL in London, London Euston train station, and Birmingham City University. Serving these incredibly busy locations means that evolution is imperative for Halo, both in terms of digital transformation and remaining abreast of regulations and compliance. For example, Martyn’s Law, named after one of the 22 victims of the aforementioned 2017 Manchester Arena attack, means that venues, events, and large gatherings must have the ability to record and gather incident data. The Halo System enables people to do this as a result of its digitised processes and detailed records, complete with date and time stamping. Looking ahead to what’s next for this system, Halo has recently launched the first iteration of an offline mode for the Halo System, meaning that mobile users will be able to submit incidents and execute tasks without phone signal. Believed to be the first of its kind in the world, the feature saves the request and uploads it to the system as soon as signal returns, complete with relevant information about the time it was submitted and other crucial details. “No doubt future versions of this software will include more features available offline, but we need to first get customer feedback and confirmation of safety. There are valid safety reasons why you wouldn’t want to do certain things ‘offline’, and there are key warnings and graphics throughout the software which support users in making sure the right people, get the right information, at the right time.” Seeking to put its proven solution at the centre of all businesses, organisations, and spaces that are connected to public safety, Halo Solutions Ltd is doing everything it can to keep people safe and protect everyone. For this, it is more than deserving of the title it has had bestowed upon it. Contact: Lois Warner Company: Halo Solutions Ltd Web Address: https://www.halosolutions.com/
