Great security outcomes depend on great collaboration. Whether you're managing designs, installations, or ongoing updates, keeping everyone aligned can make all the difference.

That’s where Flags in SiteOwl come in.

Flags provide a simple, powerful way to communicate in real time — directly from your floor plans — so your team and vendors stay in sync, no matter where they are. Flags ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Here are just a few ways your team can put Flags to work:

✅ Field issues – Instantly flag and resolve installation problems between technicians and project managers.
✅ Design approvals – Collaborate on device placement and scope with rapid feedback loops, notifying managers for approval.
✅ Preventative maintenance – Identify devices needing service during routine checks.
✅ Change orders & escalations – Flag scope changes and priority issues that need leadership input.
✅ Daily handovers – Document progress and assign next steps during shift transitions.
✅ Real-time updates – Notify field techs when a new device is added or changes are made.
✅ Data quality – Highlight missing photos, serial numbers, or warranty info for follow-up.
✅ External vendor collaboration – Share flagged items with third-party partners for faster resolution.

With Flags, you can eliminate unnecessary calls, emails, and site visits — and replace them with clarity, accountability, and real-time action.

Pro tip: Encourage your team to check and resolve Flags as part of their daily workflow. The impact on project speed and quality is immediate.
