A
Solution Focused On Ease Of Use
– And Results
 The
Grape Group, Queensland’s number one wine and liquor retailer, was
experiencing an increasing need to intensify its security
surveillance system to reduce costs incurred from external and
internal theft. The company was looking for a surveillance solution
that gave them new levels of control and flexibility for their store
security, whilst still allowing them to focus on doing what they do
best - providing specialist beverage and wine advice to their
customers.
The
Grape chose to implement an IP-based security system over its
existing Uecomm Ethernet VLAN.
Almost
80 AXIS 2120 Network Cameras were installed across the 30 store
locations, streaming real-time video surveillance across the
Uecomm network to The Grape Group head office in Fortitude Valley,
where all locations could be monitored centrally. In
addition, Axis provided a secure web interface for the company to
log onto the network with protected user IDs and passwords.
Since
The Grape installed the system, there’s been a reduction in
lost stock and the company has recorded annual savings of over
$250,000.
The
digital surveillance system has also increased The
Grape's inventory management effectiveness by matching video
footage at the time of sale, with their point of sale journals.
Hence with surveillance matters taken care of, staff
have been able to better serve the needs of the customers.
“Axis
Communications’ surveillance solution and Uecomm’s high-speed
broadband connection combined has proven to be a powerful security
tool for us. This has
been one of the most valuable investments we've made in the business
to date,”
commented
Ivan Brebner, IT Manager, The Grape Group.
