The Platform
Behind the Podium:

How Pono Security built an operation that could win Olympic contracts

August 18, 2026

1 pm ET

From a Hawaiian Island to the Olympic Stage

How Pono Security scaled from Maui to 8 states and Olympic-level contracts, and what it took to build an operation that could grow that fast.

Pono Security started with bar and restaurant security on Maui. Today it runs an armed division across 8 states and has been trusted with security for the Olympic Trials and World Games, competing against firms many times its size.

Join the Pono Security team for a real look at what changed as they scaled: how they connected billing to labor hours, brought multiple states under one system, and built the kind of reporting that wins bids against bigger competitors.

If you’re running guard operations today and thinking about what growth actually requires, this is the session for you.

What you’ll take away: 

  • How billing tied to labor hours protects margin as you add sites and states
  • What multi-region operations require from a platform, and from a team
  • How clean labor data becomes a deciding factor in competitive bids
  • What changes (and what doesn’t) as a security firm scales from one market to many

Most security operations are sitting on accurate data they are not using. Clock-ins, verified hours, shift records: all there, all correct, all being re-entered by hand somewhere downstream.

This two-part series shows how TrackTik closes that gap. Walk away knowing exactly how scheduling and invoicing can be automated end-to-end, with live, in-platform demos and time for your questions.

The Sessions

[ Part 1 ]

How to Get Better Shift Coverage in Less Time

  • June 3 · 1 pm ET · 60 minutes

A single no-show can mean up to 45 minutes of manual work. This session shows how TrackTik’s Scheduling and Attendance module fills that gap automatically with live demos of auto-fill, overtime flagging, and real-time multi-site coverage.

  • 70.2% of users report
    50%+ reduction in scheduling time

“We’ve cut scheduling time by about 40%. The biggest difference is not having to manually chase down coverage for every gap.”

How to Generate Faster Invoices with Fewer Errors
