Make a limited security budget go further

Non-profits protect people and property with money that was raised for something else. Every dollar spent on the wrong equipment is a dollar that didn't go to the mission. DWG helps organizations choose carefully, buy once, and phase the rest as funding allows.

Buy what you need, in the order you can afford it

The most expensive thing a non-profit can do is buy a system it outgrows in two years, or one nobody on staff can operate once the volunteer who installed it moves on.

We help scope a system to what the organization actually needs, identify where a less expensive product meets the requirement just as well, and lay out a phased plan so the first purchase doesn't have to be thrown away when the second phase is funded. How the work gets done is shaped around you: we can coordinate with the integrator or contractor you already use, bring the right integration and field resources in ourselves, or anything in between — whatever the project needs.

How we engage

The greatest opportunity to improve a project exists before anything is purchased. We support every phase — the earlier we're involved, the more value we add.

1. Plan

What actually needs protecting, realistic budget, and what can wait for phase two.

2. Evaluate

Product comparison, honest guidance on where to spend and where to save.

3. Specify

Right-sized equipment list, expansion path built in from the start.

4. Procure

Quoting, availability, and timing against grant or donation cycles.

5. Deploy

Phased delivery as funding arrives; integrator introductions where labor is needed.

6. Support

Technical support and equipment your staff or volunteers can actually run.

Questions we help you answer

Most suppliers focus on selling products. We focus on helping you make an informed decision — and these are the questions worth settling first.

  • What do we genuinely need, and what is being oversold to us?
  • Can we start smaller and expand without replacing what we bought?
  • Is there a less expensive product that meets the same requirement?
  • Can our staff and volunteers operate this without special training?
  • What does this cost to maintain once the grant is spent?
  • Will this still be supported in five years?
  • Who can install it, and what should that reasonably cost?

Answered early, these prevent the expensive corrections that surface once equipment is on site.

Resource coordination

  • Work with the integrator or contractor you already use
  • Bring in integration, field and engineering resources where you need them
  • Product, engineering and deployment coordinated as one project
  • Shaped around what the end user needs, not a fixed model
