What we solve

Security challenges in logistics

  • 01

    Cargo and trailer theft

    Loaded trailers and high-value freight left in open yards.

  • 02

    Gate traffic

    Drivers, carriers and visitors arriving at all hours.

  • 03

    Large perimeters

    Fence lines and dock doors that are hard to watch.

How we deliver warehouse & logistics security

Gate officers check drivers, bills of lading and seals against your procedures. Patrol officers check dock doors, fence lines and trailers on a set schedule. Many logistics clients add surveillance trailers to cover the parts of the yard officers cannot see at all times.
