Case Study: Futuraskolan achieves faster incident investigations and stronger student safety with Verkada

Futuraskolan Enhances Student Safety and IT Efficiency with Verkada

Futuraskolan, a Swedish school network with 14 campuses, needed a better way to protect students and staff while improving GDPR-compliant security across its schools. Its existing CCTV and access control systems were fragmented, difficult to manage, and heavily dependent on IT for retrieving footage and handling incidents. Verkada’s integrated cameras, access control, intercom, and cloud-based platform were chosen to unify security operations.

With Verkada, Futuraskolan enabled principals and administrators to search footage and access logs themselves, receive real-time alerts, and manage doors and cameras from one portal. The results were significant: incident investigations became 90–95% faster, footage could be retrieved in under 5 minutes, and IT saved 15–20 hours per month while support requests for video retrieval dropped to almost zero.
