Case Study: Canva achieves faster, safer global workplace operations with Verkada

How Canva’s Space Engineering team unifies cameras, access control, and intercoms to enhance workplace safety and experience across global offices

Canva, the global visual communications platform, needed a smarter way to unify physical security across 11 offices worldwide. Their Space Engineering team was managing access control, cameras, and intercoms in separate systems, creating silos, manual processes, and slower incident response. Canva also wanted a more seamless experience for employees, visitors, and internal teams while reducing the burden of maintaining custom automations.

With Verkada, Canva standardized on a unified cloud security platform using intercoms, access control, cameras, and Command, along with tools like Guest and AI-powered analytics. The rollout improved visitor access, enabled remote management across global offices, and helped cut incident investigation time from hours to seconds. Canva also saw smoother building access, better visibility, and stronger proactive safety through features like tailgating alerts and slip-and-fall detection.
