Our warehouse requires careful monitoring of entrances, loading areas, and inventory zones. Netex Security understands these requirements and provides clear information whenever unusual activity is observed. Their reports are detailed, their communication is quick, and the monitoring team has been dependable.Warehouse

Warehouses and Distribution Centres
The most valuable thing in a distribution centre is not the stock. It is knowing exactly when each pallet moved and who was standing next to it.
Warehouse loss is rarely a break-in. It is a pallet that left on the wrong vehicle, a return that was never booked in, a dock door open during a shift change. These are process failures, and they are visible on camera long before they appear in a stock report.
Netex Security monitors both the security perimeter and the operational flow, so the same service that reports an overnight intrusion also reports the dock that stood empty for forty minutes.

Questions
Warehouses and Distribution Centres: common questions
Can you measure dock turnaround time?
We report observed arrival and departure timestamps from camera footage, which is usually sufficient to identify where turnaround is slipping. It is an observation rather than an instrumented measurement.
Can you tell us where damage happened?
Sometimes. Where cameras cover the route a pallet took, the point at which damage appeared can often be narrowed down. Where coverage is partial, we report what we can see and no more.
We run 24 hours. Does that mean continuous monitoring?
Not necessarily. Many sites monitor security zones continuously and operational zones only during specific shifts. The schedule is yours to define.
Operating in a related environment?
Netex Security supports more than 75 industries and business categories. If your site does not match this page exactly, tell us what you have and we will say honestly whether monitoring fits it.
