Garda and IFS Services Announce Industry's First Integration of Deposit Tracking with Armored Transportation Services

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA--(Marketwire - June 1, 2011) - Garda Cash Logistics, America's premium provider and a subsidiary of Garda World Security Corporation, (TSX:GW) (Garda), one of the most trusted Cash Logistics, Security Solutions and Global Risk Consulting firms in the world, today announced the completion of an integration project with IFS Services for its DTS® Deposit Tracking System. Garda is the first cash logistics/armored transportation company to provide automated carrier pick-up and delivery information via the DTS® System.

DTS customers utilizing Garda's armored transportation services can manage the relationship through the DTS System, which provides dual verification of pick-ups, tracking of pick-up schedules with real-time notification of early, late or missed pickups, premise times, service quality auditing to monitor and record adherence to service level agreements (SLAs), and schedule optimization to improve efficiencies and reduce costs.

"This integration between DTS and Garda systems reduces armored carrier costs, improves store and carrier performance and enables faster resolution when issues arise," explains Lou Salafia, President of IFS Services. "Our customers have real-time access to information and a reliable chain of custody record for all transactions."

"Garda is pleased to be the first cash logistics/armored transportation company to provide these services to our customers," said Bruce Kayal, Garda's Vice President and Group Head, Strategic Accounts. "We continuously roll out industry leading initiatives aimed at improving information reporting that enable our clients to achieve their efficiency goals. This most recent development underpins Garda's commitment to a relentless pursuit of technological leadership, data integrity and product innovation. Today, our clients are challenging Garda to have the same level of integration, transparency and visibility that their banking partners provide for the collections and the timely access to data. All parties involved in the cash logistics supply chain, from banks and their customers to the armored transportation carriers who service them require access to real-time information. This initiative with DTS provides a reliable and effective delivery channel for Garda and our clients."

A number of Garda's corporate and retail clients are already using the new integrated system to strengthen and enhance their deposit tracking and cash logistics supply chain.
