Anyone who has ever owned some property knows the importance of safeguarding it.
Property regardless of its nature deserves to be protected and cared for.
Damage and vandalism of private property is a criminal offense.
Property damage takes many forms amongst them intentional damage, misuse, defacement, tampering with someone else's property and threats to destroy property, natural disaster et cetera.
Intentional damage of someone's property is an offense punishable by law.
One industry that incurs huge losses as a result of this type of damage is the hotel industry.
People who damage hotel property often imagine it is a prank while others do it as a result of a confrontation that gets out of hand.
Whatever the reasons, if caught, they are usually forced to pay for damages or charged with the offense.
To reduce such cases businesses should record all cases of damage to their property and take note of the perpetrators.
This information is helpful in stopping them from doing it again.
Some security companies provide businesses with a database that they can use to store and share such information.
The database can be used as a safe storage facility to store information on property damage cases for assessment of assets and security purposes.
The database facilitates the sharing of information between stake holders and law enforcement agencies thus helping protect the industry.
Through the vault companies can share and acquire information on people who have a history of causing damage to property.
Apart from intentional property damage there is also damage linked to natures elements like floods, tornadoes, heavy rains and hurricanes.
Although there are limited ways of protecting property from natural disasters, certain steps can be taken to mitigate the loss.
Insurance policy is one way to protect property from the catastrophe caused by the natural elements.
Databases used by security companies can also be used by insurance companies to hasten the processing of claims from their clients who use the company's security vault.
Property damage is often costly, but unfortunately, most businesses have to deal with it on a regular basis due to lack of information on the perpetrators.
Security companies are giving power to communities and businesses who have to deal with this type of situation by proving them with a platform to share information and back up relevant documents like insurance covers for faster compensation.
Protect your hotel from costly, destructive guests in a matter of seconds.
Hotels can work together and use our Vault to share information about guests that have damaged property during their stay or guests that were involved in undesirable activities.
Bad guests can cost your business lots of money and turn out to be a giant headache that you would have given anything to avoid.
If your hotel was unfortunate enough to have had a bad experience with a guest, you can enter that guest's information into the system with a detailed description of the events that occurred.
Other hotels can cross-reference potential guests and refuse service if need be.
People who have been disrespectful to your property will not be allowed to do it again when hotels work together.
Taking preventative measures now saves you money in the long run.
