One number, two completely different queues
Every manned guarding company runs a WhatsApp number that receives two kinds of message. One is commercial: a facility head asking for a rate for eight guards on two shifts, or a tender clarification. The other is operational: a client supervisor at two in the morning reporting that the night guard has not arrived. Both are urgent, and the operational one always wins, which is why new enquiries at guarding companies go unanswered for a day and a half.
The second structural problem is the renewal. Guarding contracts run on annual cycles, and a lapsed renewal is worth more than most new enquiries you chase.
