For logistics providers and warehouse operators, security is no longer just an expense — it’s the foundation of business continuity and operational resilience. As Asia’s supply chains become faster, denser, and more interconnected, their exposure to theft, bottlenecks, and compliance breaches grows just as rapidly.
Ademco Security Group delivers enterprise-scale protection built on real-time visibility, accountability, and automation. Our integrated ecosystem—backed by our 24/7 Central Monitoring and Command Centre (CMCC)—streamlines access control, surveillance, monitoring, and analytics to protect assets, verify incidents, and maintain operational flow across every link in the supply chain.
The Cost of Fragmented Security
Traditional, fragmented security systems are ill-equipped to handle the pace and complexity of modern logistics. Manual gate entries, isolated CCTV systems, and reactive incident handling lead to costly blind spots. Without centralized visibility or round-the-clock monitoring, operators struggle to maintain clear accountability across multiple sites.
The result is predictable but painful: rising shrinkage, prolonged detention times, non-compliance penalties, and mounting operational inefficiencies. In a sector that runs on tight margins and tighter timelines, these gaps can erode profitability and customer confidence alike.
Why Security Gaps Cripple Profitability
Modern logistics operations leak value in small, relentless ways that add up fast. Inventory shrinkage—often a blend of theft, damage, and mishandling—quietly erodes margins; even a 0.2% loss against inventory value compounds across large networks, and anything north of 0.46% is a flashing red sign that controls are slipping. On the ground, gates and docks become choke points: drivers can sit for 2.5 hours waiting to load or unload, a drag on throughput that mirrors the billions lost to detention time in mature markets. Inside the facility, manual processes magnify human error—contributing to roughly 42.9% of accidents and compliance failures—while paper logs and ad-hoc approvals leave audit trails patchy at best. The soft underbelly is often the front of house: weak visitor protocols and inconsistent screening account for as much as 74% of workplace security breaches, opening the door to unauthorized access and reputational risk. The net effect is a supply chain that looks busy but moves slowly, spends heavily, and struggles to prove accountability when it matters most.
Security for Business Outcomes
Ademco’s approach to logistics security aligns protection with performance. Our solutions are structured around four strategic pillars that deliver measurable business outcomes:
- Loss Prevention (LP): Prevent shrinkage and unauthorised access through smart surveillance, controlled access, and intelligent analytics.
Smart Identity and Access Control
Tokenless Smart Access Control system replaces physical cards and keys with biometric and mobile credentials for seamless, secure entry. Every access event is timestamped and recorded for full auditability, helping operators eliminate the loss of tokens while ensuring traceable accountability. The system can be customized by shift duration, user group, and access zone — perfect for large warehouses, contractor-heavy operations, and time-bound logistics hubs.
Smart Surveillance
Smart Surveillance pairs advanced AI video analytics with CMCC’s 24/7 monitoring to turn passive cameras into proactive detectors. Remote guard tours reduce manpower dependency while maintaining ‘eyes on’ coverage across facilities. Intelligent analytics detect abnormalities such as loitering, intrusion, or suspicious movement — and every alert is verified by CMCC operators before escalation, cutting out false alarms and noise.
Smart Intrusion Detection
Modern threats demand layered defenses. A smart intrusion detection system combines physical and electronic barriers with sensors and video analytics to secure perimeters and critical zones in real-time. When a breach is detected, the CMCC instantly verifies and coordinates responses, ensuring that no alert goes unattended and no downtime is wasted.
- Operational Efficiency (OE): Streamline dockside and vehicle movement to eliminate congestion and detention delays.
Loading Bay Optimisation & Flow Control
Loading bay management uses License Plate Recognition (LPR) and Container ID recognition to automate gate access, check-in, and verification. Real-time, dynamic bay assignment, advanced dock pre-booking, and live vehicle tracking optimise dock utilisation while eliminating congestion, illegal parking, and unauthorised waiting across the facility. The result is full visibility of truck locations and movements—transforming loading operations into a synchronised, data-driven flow that maximises throughput and reduces detention time.
- Safety & Compliance (SC): Digitize and automate compliance processes for audit readiness and emergency accountability.
Smart Contractor & Visitor Management
Digital Visitor Management System (VMS) streamlines entry processes while elevating front-of-house professionalism. Visitors and contractors are pre-registered, screened against internal blacklists, and verified through digital credentials. Every check-in and exit is automatically logged, creating a fully auditable, paperless record for compliance.
Emergency Notification System
Integrated Emergency Notification System links directly to access, attendance, and visitor data, maintaining a live digital muster roll for instant headcount verification. Mass notifications and evacuation commands are coordinated from a single interface, ensuring complete accountability.
- Supply Chain Resilience (SCR): Maintain SLA integrity with real-time monitoring of assets, routes, and container status.
Geofencing & Geolocation with Monitoring
Geofencing and Geolocation solutions enable real-time tracking of trucks and containers, complete with door access logs and integrity checks. Live route monitoring detects unauthorised detours or prolonged, unplanned stops. Automatic alerts are routed to CMCC operators, who assess and initiate intervention within seconds — maintaining SLA performance, cargo integrity, and peace of mind.
Smart Security That Works Harder
Security should never slow operations down — it should make them faster, safer, and smarter. By streamlining access control, surveillance, logistics automation, and centralized monitoring, Ademco transforms traditional security into a performance enabler. From the warehouse floor to the last mile, every movement, access, and event is logged, verified, and coordinated — all in real time.
The result is a resilient, transparent, and efficient supply chain that protects assets while improving throughput and compliance.
