The Problem

The Problem

• Potential for break ins at the relatively remote site
• Need to assure 3PL clients of safety of stock especially in picking areas
• Health and safety issues for operatives in warehouse, yard and loading docks
• Need to control access to various parts the buildings, manage visitors and clients with on site office staff
• An efficient and failsafe way of logging arrival and departure of shift workers to calculate payroll
