PilotagePro for private security
Private security is a sector where profitability plays out contract by contract, and where productive payroll represents the bulk of costs. A drift in the productive headcount-to-revenue ratio, a poorly calibrated contract, or weak cash management can weigh heavily on profitability. PilotagePro is the business performance management tool designed for private security company leaders. It is deployed with several members of the Sécuristes de France network, a long-standing partner of Pérenne.
The pilot challenges specific to private security
- Personnel costs are structurally very high. 70 to 85% of revenue on average. The slightest drift in the average hourly rate immediately impacts margin.
- Contracts are long and binding. A contract poorly calibrated on hours or hourly rate can erode margin for months or years. Without monthly per-contract tracking, the leader discovers the issue too late.
- The shortage of qualified officers weighs on costs. Recruitment, training, and retention generate hidden costs that are not in financial statements but weigh on margin per site.
- Customer payment terms are long. Particularly with large accounts and the public sector, which often impose payment terms exceeding 60 days.
Key indicators every private security leader should track
