Inland Empire: access control

Access Control for Logistics and 3PL Operations in the Inland Empire

The short answer

BTI Communications Group, LTD. is a commercial security integrator with an office in Santa Fe Springs serving the Inland Empire, in business for over 40 years. We install access control for third party logistics, freight and fulfillment operators across the Inland Empire, from Chino and Ontario to Perris and the High Desert. BTI has no Inland Empire office and serves the region from Santa Fe Springs, about 26 miles from Ontario and 39 miles from Riverside in a straight line. California licenses ACO #7670 and C-7 807767. Call 562-298-5070.

Integrated security and access control at a logistics facility

Requirements

What Inland Empire logistics operators ask for

  • Separate zones for each client's inventory inside one building, with access limited to that client's team.
  • One badge program across several buildings in Ontario, Fontana, Perris and beyond.
  • Agency and seasonal workers enrolled fast and removed automatically.
  • Driver, carrier and visitor check in that keeps outsiders off the floor.
  • Door and gate reports that answer client and insurer questions after a loss.
  • A platform that regional managers can run from a phone between sites.

Recommended setup

Recommended access control setup

Logistics operators in the region often run several buildings for several clients at once. The setup below keeps clients separated and sites consistent.

Client zones

Readers on caged or walled client areas, with groups named for each client.

Multi-site platform

A cloud or centrally hosted platform so every building shares one badge program.

Agency labor

Temporary credentials with automatic expiration and a quick enrollment station.

Driver check in

A driver entrance or window with an intercom and a visitor log.

Gates

Gate readers and plate recognition linked to the building platform.

Reporting

Scheduled reports for client audits and investigations.

Video

Door events linked to camera clips for fast answers after a claim.

Keeping each client's goods separate

A 3PL building in Chino or Eastvale may hold stock for several brands at once. BTI puts readers on the cages, walls or rooms that separate each client, builds access groups around those clients, and produces reports that show a client exactly who entered its area and when.

When a client contract ends, its group is retired and every badge tied to it stops working the same day.

One badge program across many buildings

Operators that grow across Ontario, Fontana, Rialto, Moreno Valley and Perris want the same rules everywhere. BTI sets up one platform with site level admins, so a regional manager can add a worker who floats between buildings once, and a site manager still controls the doors in their own building.

Cloud platforms such as Brivo and Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath) suit operators with many small sites; Avigilon Unity, Kantech or RS2 (Acre) suit large owned buildings that keep servers on site.

Carriers, drivers and agency labor

Drivers and agency workers are the largest group of people entering most logistics buildings. BTI designs driver entrances, visitor check in and temporary badging so these people get only the doors they need for only as long as they need them.

Every entry is logged, and video is tied to the doors that matter most, which helps when a client, insurer or police investigator asks what happened.
