Gallagher Security’s QuickSwitch wins NSCA’s 2025 Excellent in Product Innovation Award for Best Installation Tool.

Gallagher Security’s QuickSwitch has snagged its first major industry recognition, earning the title of Best Installation Tool for Integrators in the Installation & Integration Excellence Division at the 2025 National Systems Contractor’s (NSCA) Excellence in Product Innovation Awards.

The accolade was presented during NSCA’s annual Excellence in Business Operations (XBO) Experience in Austin, TX. These awards spotlight products significantly impacting commercial integration, celebrating those that boost efficiency, reliability, and overall success for integrators throughout the industry.

“This award exemplifies how manufacturers can truly listen to customer needs and provide a high-quality product that perfectly fits those needs, delivering exceptional value,” said Jeff Ogborn, Director of Complex Solutions at Gallagher Security. “By understanding the real-world challenges faced by integrators, we’re able to create solutions like QuickSwitch that directly address these pain points, leading to more successful project outcomes.”

Launched earlier this year at ISC West, QuickSwitch offers organizations a faster and less risky path to modernization. This innovative solution allows companies to reuse existing cabinets, wiring, and power supplies when upgrading to Gallagher’s advanced access platform, avoiding costly and disruptive rip-and-replace projects. Available in three distinct variations, QuickSwitch boards are designed as drop-in replacements for common legacy systems, facilitating quicker installations, reducing downtime, and enhancing long-term reliability. This empowers technology professionals to deliver more projects with greater confidence.

“QuickSwitch embodies the very essence of Gallagher’s innovative culture,” explained Dave Solly, Senior Product Manager. “It’s all about providing tangible value for integrators, saving them valuable time, opening up new business opportunities, and enabling them to achieve better outcomes for their customers. This award also reflects the remarkable cross-regional collaboration that brought QuickSwitch to life, with our dedicated teams across the Americas, Europe, and New Zealand working seamlessly together to simplify migration for everyone involved.”

The Excellence in Product Innovation Awards program, now in its 12th year, recognizes manufacturers whose solutions make a real and meaningful difference for commercial integrators. It highlights the cutting-edge products and technologies that are driving progress in key growth areas across the integration industry.

This latest recognition underscores Gallagher’s ongoing commitment to developing solutions that simplify complexity and deliver lasting value, ultimately helping both integrators and businesses achieve more through intelligent, connected security.
