Case Study: HSK Ward Group improves food and site security with Verkada

HSK Ward Group - Customer Case Study

HSK Ward Group, an Australian-owned food manufacturer and distributor, needed to replace ageing DVR/NVR security systems across its large Melbourne campus. With six warehouses and production facilities spread over 68,000 m², the team faced clunky footage search, reactive incident response, PIN-based access, and rising security and insurance pressures.

Verkada implemented a unified cloud security platform with cameras, access control, alarms, and mobile management to cover the entire site. The result was faster investigations, stronger after-hours protection, better compliance and insurance alignment, and around $125,000 in annual savings by replacing weekend guarding, while also improving visibility, safety, and traceability across the campus.
