Gallagher Security’s QuickSwitch wins integration sector award
Gallagher Security's QuickSwitch has received recognition in the security integration sector, being named Best Installation Tool for Integrators in the Installation & Integration Excellence Division of the 2025 Excellence in Product Innovation Awards, organised by the National Systems Contractors Association.
Industry recognition
The Excellence in Product Innovation Awards have now run for twelve years and highlight products that demonstrate positive impacts on commercial integration.
The NSCA's programme is regarded within the integration industry as a measure of the sector's emerging and effective products for professional use.
QuickSwitch stands as Gallagher Security's response to integration challenges. The product aims to offer organisations an accelerated and cost-effective route for security system modernisation, allowing upgrades to be actioned without replacing existing cabinets, wiring, or power supplies.
"This is one example of how manufacturers can embrace customers' needs and provide quality product that actually 'fits' needs and with value. By understanding the challenges integrators face, we're able to deliver solutions like QuickSwitch that directly address those pain points and enable more successful project outcomes," said Jeff Ogborn, Director of Complex Solutions, Gallagher Security
Product features
QuickSwitch was introduced to the market in April and is available in three board variations.
Each board is designed as a drop-in substitute for several legacy security systems, enabling a simplified migration to Gallagher's access control platform.
The solution aims to reduce installation times, limit operational downtime, and provide higher reliability in the application over the long term.
The design of the product means technology professionals can reuse much of their current infrastructure when upgrading, which is of significance given the cost and risk traditionally associated with security platform transitions.
Faster installs and lowered project risks are expected outcome benefits.
Collaboration highlighted
QuickSwitch's development involved input from teams across several regions, including the Americas, Europe, and New Zealand. Gallagher Security has emphasised the role of cross-regional collaboration in bringing the product to market.
"QuickSwitch embodies the best of Gallagher's innovation culture. It's about delivering real-world value for integrators, saving them time, unlocking new business opportunities, and helping them deliver better outcomes for their customers. This award is also a reflection of the cross-regional collaboration that brought QuickSwitch to life, with our teams across the Americas, Europe, and New Zealand working together to make migration easier for everyone," said Dave Solly, Senior Product Manager.
Commitment to integration
The recent industry accolade serves to reinforce Gallagher Security's focus on tools and solutions that deal directly with known integration challenges. The company has stated its priority is on developing offerings that help simplify upgrades for integrators and end customers alike.
The NSCA's awards programme seeks to identify and honour solutions which make measurable differences to commercial systems integration and highlight advancements across the security technology space.
