Use case ยท Opening and closing

Remote opening and closing escort, requested from the app

The last one out of the shop, the first one into the petrol station. With one tap the employee asks your control room to watch along on the cameras. The operator tells them in the app when it is safe, or sends a guard.

Step 1 ยท Request

  • Scenario

Step 2 ยท Watching

The control room looks along

The request appears in real time in Cuebly’s built-in alarm environment, or at the alarm centre you work with, with the location. Many camera systems can use the event from Cuebly to bring up the right camera stream for the operator straight away.

“Safe to close”

Nobody is waiting near the door or in the car park. The operator sends a message to the app: safe to close.

  • Critical messages

Step 4 ยท Or not

Something looks wrong

Someone is hanging around the entrance. The operator tells the employee to stay inside and sends a guard.

  • Guard
  • Stay inside

Step 5 ยท Done

Why it fits

One person can close safely

No second person needed

Shops, petrol stations and branches can close with one employee, because someone is watching along.

The request is one tap

A button on the app’s home screen starts the escort, no phone call or code needed.

The answer comes in the app

A clear message on the phone: safe to open or close, or stay inside.

The same app for emergencies

If something happens during the escort, the SOS and man down alarms are right there.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who watches the cameras?

Your operators in Cuebly’s built-in alarm environment, or the alarm centre you work with. The cameras stay in your own camera system. Many camera systems can use the event from Cuebly to bring up the right stream for the operator straight away.

How does the employee know it is safe?

The alarm centre sends a message to the app: safe to open or close, or stay inside.

What if something happens during closing?

The employee can raise an SOS in the same app. The alarm centre is already watching and can send help straight away.

Does this work for opening in the morning too?

Yes. Opening and closing each get their own button and procedure.

How do I offer this to a retail chain?

Create a customer environment for the chain under your own brand, add the escort buttons to the app and agree the procedure per site. You set your own price.
