Case Study: Transforming Automotive Yard Operations With Birdseye Security

Client Overview

AWC, major automotive logistics facility operating on a 50-acre yard, required more than traditional security. With constant vehicle movement, truck drivers loading and unloading units, and inventory spread across a large footprint, daily operations demanded high visibility, accurate reporting, and reliable oversight.

Challenges

Before adopting Birdseye, the facility faced several ongoing issues:

With such a large area and constant movement, managers couldn’t easily monitor day-to-day activity or see what was happening in real time.

Truck drivers would sometimes damage vehicles during loading, back off the truck, and claim the car was already damaged in the yard. Without visual proof, the facility often absorbed these claims.

Managers had to drive an hour to work early every morning, often unnecessarily, just to determine whether trains or incoming work were present.

Misplaced vehicles, fallen cones or delineators, and workflow irregularities often went unnoticed, creating inefficiencies and potential safety concerns.

Birdseye Solution

Bird’s Eye implemented a comprehensive camera monitoring and reporting system tailored to the facility’s specific operational needs. Key components included:

Multiple cameras positioned strategically across the 50-acre yard provided complete visual oversight of all activity.

The system was configured to notify managers about key operational details, misplaced vehicles, knocked-over cones, or anything that disrupted normal workflow.

Birdseye wasn’t just layered on top of their process; it became part of their daily operation. Managers adjusted alerts, tuned workflows, and shaped the platform to serve their facility’s unique layout and needs.

Results

  • Increased Efficiency: Managers now monitor the yard remotely, eliminating unnecessary early-morning drives and saving hours of labor.
  • Fewer Damage Claims: Camera footage proved when damage occurred, preventing false claims and saving money.
  • Operational Visibility: For the first time, the entire yard could be monitored in real time, improving workflow and accountability.
  • Custom Reporting: The system adapts to the facility’s unique operations, offering alerts that support day-to-day decision-making.

Conclusion

While Birdseye is a security company at its core, the value delivered to this automotive facility went far beyond security. It became an operational backbone, improving efficiency, reducing losses, enhancing accountability, and giving management a powerful tool for daily decision-making. In the client’s words, Birdseye provides a lot more than just your typical security company.
