AG Technology on Display at ESX

At the AvantGuard booth #709 we'll be featuring tools and services that are trusted by thousands of dealers and almost two million subscribers. These include: 

The AG App – For technicians out in the field, the AG Mobile App simplifies the process of placing accounts on test using their mobile phone.  And the app allows technicians to manage accounts from their mobile device. It also gives them the ability to identify and pull-up accounts that are closest to their location, so they don’t have to backtrack when traveling from account to account. The app is now integrated with Google and Apple Maps, so if a tech needs help finding their way, one click on the address will provide directions. 

AG Chat – This technology helps to quickly confirm or disregard signals by creating a secure group chat for all members on the subscribers contact list to communicate with each other via chat. It expedites the alarm verification process without the time-consuming process of making phone calls to a subscriber’s contact list which often go unanswered. The result is the fastest possible emergency response times for the best customer outcome. 

Dealer Dashboard – A revolutionary data visualization tool that can help dealers minimize attrition, maximize monitoring efficiency, and capitalize on service opportunities. The dealer dashboard includes widgets such as the MLS Tool. With the free MLS Tool, dealers can see when their accounts list their property for sale. This provides an opportunity to contact customers before they sell to possibly retain them as a customer in their new home. An additional benefit is being able to see when houses have been recently purchased, giving dealers a jump start on connecting with the new residents.   

AG Honored at ESX in 2022 

Last year, AvantGuard received three innovation awards from ESA at the Security Expo:  

  • The interactive Services for End Users Award in recognition for AG Chat 
  • The Dealer App Innovation award for AG’s MLS Reporting Tool 
  • The ESX Dispatch Technology Award, given for AG’s overall services and innovative technologies created to reduce false dispatches, decrease subscriber attrition, and help grow a dealer’s business.  

These AvantGuard innovations have brought numerous benefits to our dealer partners. For example, AG Chat has proven valuable in the following ways:  

  • Reducing false alarm dispatches by 54%   
  • Expediting the time to first engagement from minutes to seconds 
  • Decreasing costs associated with fines for both dealers and their customers while enhancing their overall safety and service 

AvantGuard’s MLS Tool, part of the Dealer Dashboard, has received abundant praise from dealers as well for enabling them to be proactive in retaining accounts while secondarily serving as a lead generator to offer services to incoming new property owners.
