Carbyne and Allied Universal Join Forces to Strengthen Private Security Services in Mexico
Alliance between global companies makes Allied Universal the first security provider to integrate Carbyne Connect technology in Mexico
Mexico City, March 23, 2023 — Carbyne, the world’s premier platform for mission-critical contact center technologies, and Allied Universal®, a leading security and facility services company, today announced plans for Allied Universal to be the first security provider to utilize Carbyne Connect technology in Mexico.
As part of the arrangement, Allied Universal will deploy Carbyne technology throughout its contact centers and offer Carbyne emergency notification technology to its clients’ employees and their families, providing the fastest and most efficient response to crisis situations and security threats in the Mexican market.
In 2021, 1.2 million companies—out of a total of 4.9 million—in Mexico were victims of crime, according to the National Business Victim Survey (ENVE) 2022 conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). This has led to eight out of 10 companies investing up to 8% of their operating expenditure in security, according to ASUME, Agrupaciones de Seguridad Unidas por México.
There has been increased demand for private security services in Mexico, particularly during the pandemic. This increase is due to the rise in crime and the corporate sector’s need to protect their products and services, employees and customers, as well as the specific security requirements of businesses.
Technology integration has been transformational for security in Mexico as it provides new tools that help in crime prevention, rapid response to emergencies and specialized services such as remote monitoring, access control and surveillance.
Allied Universal will deploy Carbyne Universe throughout its Mexico-based contact centers and offer Carbyne Connect technology to its employees throughout Mexico. With Carbyne Connect, Allied Universal will be notified if clients are experiencing an emergency, allowing them to act faster and more efficiently. When Allied Universal clients make an emergency 911 call in Mexico, Allied Universal and the client’s chosen emergency contacts will be notified in real-time

This UI is tailored for a seamless flow between every channel. With Carbyne’s cloud platform, rich media flows seamlessly so emergency response teams can make better decisions.
“Our alliance with Carbyne is key in addressing today’s unprecedented security challenges by providing critical support to the corporate sector and its customers,” said Alberto Marquez, Allied Universal country manager for Mexico. “This arrangement accelerates the digital transformation of private security in the country.”
In a country where security is a prime concern, Carbyne technology supports the private security industry in Mexico with its first international alliance, representing a crucial step forward allowing companies to take a more active role in protecting their employees and users.
