Case Study: St Peter's School, Cambridge
After five years of using the Gallagher security system, St Peter’s School, Cambridge – one of the leading independent, co-educational secondary schools in New Zealand – has seen a remarkable ROI. By monitoring access reports on support staff time, the school has seen a reduction in invoiced working hours.
The biggest savings have been made through integrating the Gallagher system with building management systems – the Gallagher platform controlling access, heating and lighting. These efficiencies mean that complete payback on the system will be achieved within two years.
