CASE STUDY · LOGISTICS
Protecting a busy logistics yard
Gatehouse access control and yard checks for a West Midlands distribution hub.
The challenge
- A distribution hub operating around the clock needed tighter control of driver and vehicle access after concerns about unauthorised vehicles on site.
- High vehicle volumes at shift changes made manual checks slow, causing queues at the gate.
- The client wanted a clear audit trail of who was on site at any time.
Our approach
- We placed trained officers on the gatehouse to verify drivers, check booking references and record vehicle registrations on entry and exit.
- A simple pre-booking check was agreed with the client's transport team to speed up peak-time processing.
- Officers carried out regular yard walks, checking trailer seals, shutter doors and trailer parks.
The outcome
- All vehicle movements are now logged, giving the client a complete access record. [PLACEHOLDER – confirm with client]
- Gate queues at peak times reduced once the pre-booking check bedded in. [PLACEHOLDER – insert verified figure if available]
- The arrangement has run continuously since deployment. [PLACEHOLDER – confirm duration]
