The Brief

A regional logistics company needed to upgrade security across their main depot. Staff were using a master key system that had no audit trail, and the existing alarm was a single-zone unit with no remote capability. After a near-miss incident, the operations director decided it was time for a proper system.

Our Approach

We mapped every access point across the depot — staff entrances, loading bays, server room, office suite and perimeter gates — and designed a system around their shift patterns. The access control platform ties directly into their HR software, so when a staff member leaves, their credential is automatically revoked.

What We Installed

  • 18 × door controllers with RFID/PIN readers
  • Grade 2 certified intruder alarm panel with 6 zones
  • PIR and dual-tech motion detectors throughout
  • Magnetic contacts on all external doors and roller shutters
  • Remote management portal with full audit log
  • Monitored response centre connection (24/7)
  • Integration with client HR system via API

"We needed access control and intruder alarms across three sites at short notice. DARKGRID turned it around fast, explained everything clearly, and the remote management portal is genuinely easy to use."

— Operations Director

The Result

The depot now has a complete, auditable access trail for every door — the operations team can see exactly who entered which area and when, directly from their browser. The Grade 2 alarm is fully zoned so night security can arm the perimeter while staff work late in the office.

The HR integration has already saved time: no more manual credential management when staff leave or change roles.
