Shaking up security : How Y-cam helped high street chain
Posted on Thursday, July 21st, 2011
Innovative high-street brand ShakeTastic is an exciting young company that delivers bespoke beverages throughout a number of retail stores located across London. It’s CEO is Josh Kettle and he is responsible for maintaining an excellent standard of customer service – as well as constantly aiming to improve their efforts – so how did a Y-cam centralised monitoring solution help him reach this goal, and deliver other crucial benefits?
Josh and his team have been able to cover a number of potential hazards with their new Y-cam solution, from securing the premises, through to deterring anti-social behaviour – plus providing Josh with the eyes and ears on his business that he needs to ensure its success. Josh has even found unusual ways to boost efficiency with his cameras, and has been able to explore a number of exciting possibilities that would not have been possible with traditional CCTV.
As well as security, Josh needed a solution to allow him to keep his eyes on his business at all times and with ShakeTastic’s rapid expansion, this was not an easy task. However their Y-cam system offers a window into the business no matter where he may be: his office at home, when visiting suppliers or even on holiday. Josh now has the power to tap in whenever he needs to.
“It’s great to be able to view all five stores at the same time from the office or from my iPhone. To me, this is one of the reasons why I can’t praise this system enough; it’s great knowing that I can look into the shops at any time, on the move, in the office, from my house… It’s perfect!”
ShakeTastic now has a centralised security system that has moved them into the 21st century and shaken up their whole business operation.
