The complexity of the construction project required extensive site surveillance, using smart towers at night as well as staff security during the day.

The collaboration was always to our complete satisfaction. In addition to timely processing and solution-oriented project planning during the construction process, there were very short-term reactions and deployment times.

Mr. John M
VPSitex supported us in the area of construction site security at various construction sites in Dresden, Radeberg and Chemnitz. The collaboration was always to our complete satisfaction. In addition to the timely processing and the very short reaction and deployment times, this also applies in particular to the advisory competence, the service orientation and the friendliness of your employees.
