Brinks & Arantico Service Pro

In 2013, Brink’s Ireland began to look for a streamlined approach to enable them to retrieve data back from the field in real time in order to reduce data re-entry and eliminate the huge amounts of paperwork as typically required within the Irish Security Sector. After an extensive review of what was available in the marketplace Brinks selected Arantico as their chosen software provider.
