Logistics Security and Protection
Retail distribution systems and industrial logistics are perhaps most vulnerable when goods are in transit, including at the point of arrival. Articulated vehicles and other trucks may be scheduled to arrive overnight or otherwise out of hours to enable timely restocking of warehouse facilities and minimise disruption to daytime operations.

Lodge Security has developed a range of services to support secure, cost-effective out of hours deliveries. This includes DCD, Driver Controlled Deliveries, which enable a single driver to safely transport goods to retail and other destinations.
Vehicles are equipped with a geopositioning tracking device as well as two-way communication so that the driver can remain in touch with the Lodge Service intelligence centre at all times when goods are in transit, 24-7. Upon arrival at a depot or retail premises, the driver can request the intelligence centre to remotely unlock the goods-in area.
The Lodge security manager can make a visual check via the CCTV channel to ensure the goods-in area is clear and secure, and then remotely unlock the premises, so that the driver can complete the delivery. The unloading process is then monitored by the intelligence centre.
Drivers can be further equipped with personal cameras, personal alarms and fall detector devices, to alert the intelligence centre to a potential security incident.
