The SGM Security Business Manager (SBM) is a dynamic, straightforward scheduling and management program that uses Microsoft Access 2000 and 2002. In addition, SBM can be used to track billing and pay rates, contract longevity, post instructions, and much more. The SBM is password-level protected to allow you to assign levels of authority. You can assign edit privileges or view only privileges to specific functions. You will be able to print out a variety of information as needed, such as:

Client Information
SBM has a complete demographic outline for each client. Clients may have as many posts as necessary. This information can be printed out for one client or all clients.

Post information
Post information includes, name, address, contact, telephone, schedules, post notes, and more. The following is a partial list of the controls within the Post Information module:

• Shift schedules: Enter the hours for each day of the week. As you are entering the shift hours SBM calculates the hours for that day and weeks hours
  
• Reduce double scheduling: SBM will not allow overlapping hours or mistakenly double schedule anyone.
  
• Master schedule: SBM provides a master schedule for each post.
  
• Daily schedule: Once the Master Schedule is established, you are able to create a daily schedule by entering officers into the various shifts. You can then print out the daily shift for one post or for all shifts.
  
• Reduce recompiling schedules: SBM allows you to make daily schedule adjustments during the week. The following week the schedules will revert back to the master scheduled security officers.
  
• Billing hour rates: Each post has its own billing hour rates.
  

Staff Data

• Employee profile: There are numerous categories that can be documented and printed out in various configurations. Some of the categories are: names, addresses, telephone numbers, social security number, date of birth, date of hire, hourly pay rate, availability hours and more.
  
• Staff availability: Staff availability allows you to enter the days and hours that an officer is available to work. Alerts appear if a scheduler attempts to schedule an officer during hours that they have previously been listed as unavailable.
  
• Staff Schedule: The staff schedule can be issued to security officers weekly. It contains the post name, address, shift, hours of the days that a security officer is scheduled to work.
  
• Post Instructions: The SBM allows you to create unlimited post instructions. Post instructions are listed and accumulated under specific post instruction categories and can be assigned to other posts as needed with just a click of the mouse.

SBM allows you to edit reports while in the program or send them to Microsoft Word for additional editing and enhancements.
