Managing Global Logistics with Advanced Security

Under the leadership of our Chief Information Officer, Daniel Sammut, IFC has embraced innovative technologies to address the dynamic demands of the logistics industry and enhance operational performance across our global distribution centres.

In our pursuit of operational excellence, we identified the need for:

• A centralised, cloud-based platform to manage devices, users, and settings across all locations.
• Seamless integration capabilities with systems such as Active Directory and Single Sign-On.
• Edge-based recording solutions eliminating the necessity for on-premises servers and infrastructure for footage storage.
• Robust security measures ensuring encryption of data both at rest and in transit.

To unify our segmented operations, we sought to dismantle the barriers posed by disparate building security systems. Scalability is paramount, especially when implementing policies across various sites. Centralising functions wherever feasible allows us to remotely manage and maintain oversight across multiple locations.

By integrating advanced security solutions, we have achieved a cohesive overview through a cloud-based platform. This integration spans alarms, cameras, intercoms, access control, and air quality sensors, enabling our teams to operate efficiently, derive comprehensive insights, and manage global sites effectively.

“We now have a complete narrative of any incident without the need to piece together information from disparate systems. Everything is seamlessly connected through a single interface,” says Daniel.

As an Australian Trusted Trader, IFC adheres to stringent legislative and border force mandates. Monitoring “who” is onsite, along with “when” and “for how long,” is imperative.

Our integrated access control and guest management systems, combined with intercom functionality, allow us to:

• Accurately identify individuals, ascertain their point of contact, and regulate their access.
• Streamline visitor management, ensuring compliance with security regulations and site-specific access protocols.
• Enhance real-time monitoring, providing immediate insights and control over site access from anywhere in the world.

At IFC, we are committed to continuous innovation and improvement in logistics and security management. By leveraging cloud-based security solutions, we ensure seamless operations, enhanced visibility, and a future-proof approach to managing our facilities.
