Foundation Building Materials California Multi-Location Security System
How End-Point Wireless secured Foundation Building Materials' California distribution centers with comprehensive Verkada camera systems, access control, and alarms across Bakersfield, Orange, Santa Ana, Oxnard, and Anaheim locations protecting high-value construction materials.
Key Results
- Multi-location standardization deploying unified security across 5 California distribution centers—Bakersfield, Orange, Santa Ana, Oxnard, and Anaheim
- Complete security replacement upgrading legacy cameras, access control, and alarm systems with integrated Verkada platform
- Centralized management enabling corporate oversight of all locations from single Command dashboard
- Enhanced theft prevention protecting high-value drywall, steel framing, and construction materials inventory
Background
Foundation Building Materials is a leading North American distributor of drywall, steel framing, acoustic ceilings, and construction supplies. Their California distribution centers handle high-value building materials requiring comprehensive security against theft, unauthorized access, and safety incidents. Legacy security systems at multiple locations had reached end-of-life, creating inconsistent protection and management challenges across their distribution network.
End-Point Wireless executed a multi-location security modernization across five California facilities—Bakersfield, Orange, Santa Ana, Oxnard, and Anaheim. Each site received complete Verkada system replacements including cloud-managed cameras monitoring warehouses and yards, access control securing buildings and gates, and integrated alarm systems providing intrusion detection. The standardized deployment enables centralized management while delivering location-specific security tailored to each facility's layout and inventory protection needs.
The Challenge
- Legacy systems at multiple locations created inconsistent security coverage and management complexity
- High-value construction materials in open yards vulnerable to after-hours theft
- Loading docks and warehouse blind spots compromising inventory protection and employee safety
- Multiple disparate systems preventing centralized oversight across California distribution network
Why Verkada
End-Point Wireless recommended Verkada's cloud-managed platform for multi-location standardization and centralized management capabilities. Building materials distributors require reliable outdoor surveillance, access control for secure areas, and alarm integration—all manageable from corporate headquarters. Verkada's hybrid cloud architecture eliminates on-site servers at each location while providing unified visibility across entire distribution networks. 10-year product warranties and weather-resistant cameras ensure long-term protection in harsh warehouse yard environments.
Leveraging the Power of the Platform
Security Cameras
Verkada cameras replaced legacy systems across all five locations, providing weather-resistant outdoor coverage for material yards, loading docks, and warehouse interiors. Cloud management enables corporate security teams to monitor all California sites from a single dashboard.
- Weather-resistant outdoor cameras withstand harsh yard conditions
- Night vision capabilities maintain visibility during off-hours when theft risk peaks
- AI-powered search across all locations instantly locates incidents or individuals
Access Control
Verkada access control systems replaced outdated readers at warehouse entrances, office buildings, and secure inventory areas across all five facilities, providing centralized credential management and video-verified access events.
- Centralized credential management across all California locations
- Video-verified access events correlate door activity with camera footage
- Instant revocation when employees transfer between locations or depart
Alarm Systems
Integrated alarm systems provide intrusion detection at each facility, automatically triggering camera recording and alerting security teams to after-hours break-ins or unauthorized access attempts.
- Integrated intrusion detection triggers camera alerts and recording
- After-hours protection monitors high-value inventory during vulnerable periods
Security & Compliance Outcomes
- Standardized security across five California locations with unified management
- Enhanced theft prevention protecting high-value construction materials inventory
- Centralized oversight enabling corporate security teams to monitor entire distribution network
- Improved employee safety with comprehensive coverage of loading docks and warehouse operations
Looking Ahead
With five California locations secured, Foundation Building Materials has established a scalable security foundation ready to expand to additional distribution centers nationwide. The standardized Verkada platform enables rapid deployment to new facilities while maintaining consistent corporate oversight. End-Point Wireless continues supporting Foundation Building Materials as their trusted security partner across California's building materials distribution network.
