Belfry is a New York-based technology company providing an all-in-one software platform for security guard services firms. It consolidates scheduling, timekeeping, payroll, billing, HR, GPS tracking, incident reporting, and compliance into a single solution, helping security providers streamline back-office operations, cut overtime, reduce errors, and boost profitability.[1][2][5]
Belfry serves security guard companies facing razor-thin margins and fragmented tools, solving problems like manual data entry, coverage gaps, unbilled overtime, and outdated systems. Customers report halving overtime, smoothing processes, and improving employee experiences, with recent momentum from a $12M Series A funding round to fuel innovation and growth.[1][5]
Belfry was co-founded by Jordan Wallach (CEO) and Alex Tulenko (CTO), backed by a team of engineers, sales leaders, and customer success experts like founding engineers Minsoo Kim and Zach Schwartz.[4] The company emerged to address pain points in the physical security industry, where businesses juggle multiple disconnected tools for scheduling, payroll, and operations.[2]
Headquartered in New York, Belfry gained early traction by delivering purpose-built features for security firms, evolving into a venture-backed leader with advisors from major players like Marsden, Securitas, OPS Security Group, and ASIS. Pivotal moments include customer wins like Merchants Security Service, which switched from antiquated platforms and saw immediate efficiency gains, and the $12M Series A announcement signaling scaled ambitions.[1][4][5]
Belfry stands out in the security software market through its industry-specific, fully integrated platform and hands-on support:
Belfry rides the wave of vertical SaaS adoption in fragmented industries like physical security, where outdated systems hinder growth amid rising demand for efficient, transparent services. Timing aligns with labor shortages, compliance pressures, and client expectations for real-time visibility, amplified by post-pandemic shifts toward tech-enabled operations.[1][2]
Market forces favor Belfry: the $20B+ U.S. security services sector grapples with thin margins (often <5%) and high turnover, creating demand for tools that automate admin (up to 40% of costs). Belfry influences the ecosystem by setting a standard for integrated platforms, empowering smaller firms to compete with giants like Securitas, and fostering industry progress through diverse advisors.[1][4][5]
Belfry is poised for rapid expansion post-Series A, targeting deeper penetration in the U.S. security market with AI-enhanced scheduling, advanced analytics, and international features. Trends like workforce digitization, GPS/IoT integration, and profitability-focused SaaS will propel growth, potentially capturing share from legacy providers.
As vertical software matures, Belfry's operator-centric model could evolve it into a category leader, influencing standards for guard management and enabling security firms to prioritize service over spreadsheets—transforming an essential but tech-lagging industry just as Belfry consolidates its role as the operational backbone.[1][2][5]
Belfry has raised $12.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $12.0M Series A in January 2025.
