LISA for emergency security staffing during Hurricane Ian

Allied Universal received more than 1,700 emergency staffing responses in less than 24 hours

WorkingCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

Allied Universal needed security staff ready for emergency deployment as Hurricane Ian approached Florida. Calling potential responders individually would have delayed staffing.

Approach

The company used its proprietary AI tool, LISA, to text its Florida security workforce about emergency roles. LISA explained the commitment and earnings opportunity, then verified respondents' contact information.

Results

more than 1,700people who responded in less than 24 hours, according to Allied UniversalCompany's own claim[1]
more than 14,000Florida security professionals contacted by text, according to Allied UniversalCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The reported response count measured staff interest, rather than completed deployments. Allied Universal separately reported deploying more than 500 security professionals.
