Case Study: Softcat streamlines security and compliance with Verkada

How Softcat Uses Verkada to Make Security Work Better for Everyone

Softcat, a UK IT infrastructure and services company with around 3,000 employees, was struggling with a highly manual and unscalable physical card-based access control system. The company also lacked clear visibility into who had access, had to manage frequent vendor visits, and needed stronger audit support for ISO certifications.

Softcat implemented Verkada’s integrated security platform, including Verkada Pass, Verkada Guest, cameras, access control, and sensors. The solution replaced physical cards with digital access management, streamlined visitor registration for 10–15 daily vendors, improved audit trails and insurance claim resolution with integrated video evidence, and reduced operational overhead through PoE deployment that Softcat’s in-house IT team could manage.
