Monitoring Group

What Monitoring Group does

Monitoring Group, operating under the trade name Monitoring for Electronic Systems, is a privately held Jordanian systems integrator founded in 2007 and headquartered in Amman. The company delivers electronic monitoring, access control, security, and building automation solutions to commercial, industrial, and residential customers in Jordan. Its core offering is the Kelio software platform — a modular workforce management and access control suite from French vendor Bodet/Kelio, of which Monitoring Group holds Golden Partner status (awarded 2020). The platform spans time & attendance, employee self-service, staff planning, task/analytics, HR portal, payroll interface (Kelio Paylink supporting 140+ payroll applications), visitor management, room reservation, and fire evacuation management. Hardware comprises proprietary Visio X4/X7/Xtrem touchscreen clocking terminals plus third-party RFID, biometric, and camera-based access equipment.

The business combines four revenue streams: SaaS subscriptions via Kelio On-Demand (monthly per-employee pricing, ISO 27001-hosted), hardware sales (proprietary and third-party terminals, cameras, access equipment), professional services (site design, electrical and low-voltage installation, commissioning, custom SW/HW development), and training courses. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with 'Request a Demonstration' CTAs and site assessments, complemented by an extensive multi-vendor partner ecosystem spanning video surveillance (Arecont Vision, UNV, Digital Watchdog), VMS (Exacq, NetworkOptix), intrusion (Jablotron), and KNX building automation (Zennio). Recent extensions include BMS for large premises and smart home automation, indicating a deliberate broadening of addressable market beyond core workforce management. The company employs 1-10 people (six named on the website, including Managing Director Latifa Talbi), with no disclosed institutional funding or external ownership.
