Verkada

“For executives, time is everything,” John says. “The moment you force them to dig for a phone or badge, you’ve already lost. Verkada gives them a frictionless access experience — and keeps them safe at the same time.”

““If employees are excited to use Face Unlock, they can opt in. If not, they still have other ways to enter the building,” John explains.”

““We want our offices to function as one seamless network, so when you’re moving from one office to another, it’s an easy and familiar experience,” John says.”

““We wanted to invest in a solution that’s intuitive, smart, and easy to scale and use,” John explains.”

“Vayner is built to operate like a startup — agile, fast, and decisive — while still behaving like an enterprise,” John says. “With offices around the world and executives traveling constantly, the experience has to be seamless everywhere. Our Chairman Gary Vaynerchuk should be able to walk up to any office door in the world and get in — no friction, no delay, total safety. The same goes for every employee.”

“I will be honest on this. Through my management of security and working with our other security providers, the experience isn't the same. Verkada offers personal attention, and a great customer service experience; plus there’s the overall ease of use that Verkada has provided for managing our security.”

“For a retail support team that supports all of our stores and takes those phone calls, takes those emails, and they're grinding daily to figure out the solutions for our stores. This is an easy button.”

“I don't have to have multiple screens open. I think that we all probably have a ton of screens open on our desktops. So it's narrowing down all those pieces. And how can I simplify my day? Through this integration, it is allowing me to simplify my day.”

“It had to have been less than 30 minutes for everything to get installed. It was plugging in some ports and it was live. It was extremely, extremely easy.”

“They're willing to engage and work in tandem with us. Working with Verkada is effortless.”

“We wanted to make this as frictionless as possible while also staying compliant.”

“The main purpose of anything that we install internally is to be able to showcase and demo that to external clients,”

“When we looked at the market and how we're trying to position ourselves, we wanted to ensure we were using a industry leading solution,”

“Guest management wasn't reflective of the Natilik experience,”

“CompNow have been a good partner in bringing some ideas to the table,” says Sean. “My relationship with Scott continually explores other options and opportunities, and we will work together on those in the future.”

“It’s a very scalable system,” says Aetesam. “As the business grows and we need visibility into more areas, we can simply add more cameras.”

“When we can show the video, everyone is looking at the same evidence,” says Aetesam. “It gets everyone aligned so we can focus on how to improve.”

“Another advantage of Verkada is the ability to share footage quickly and easily with third parties,” says Sean. “Previously the teams would be struggling with downloading content, there would be USB sticks being shared. Now with Verkada, it’s secure access.”

“Sometimes in an incident, the information gets lost. People forget or we have short memories,” says Aetesam. “But when it’s on a camera, it helps to go back and find those root causes and how we can improve further.”

“It helps us to address engineering and maintenance concerns,” says Sean. “If they have to troubleshoot some machinery, we can get a camera into place very quickly and easily so they can really look into the equipment and understand what’s going on.”

“The new setup that we have of HP laptops and Verkada systems has been a smooth transition,” says Aetesam Khawaja, Site Lead – Hearn Street Operation. “Very simple to use. You can use it on your mobile phone, you can use it on your laptops.”

““We chose to go on that path because of their expertise with Verkada, and that helped ease the implementation and setup with a new portal,” says Sean.”

“The main reason for Verkada was around consolidation of solutions,” says Sean. “Having that cloud-based offering allows us to quickly and easily deploy across sites.”

“Some customers have made it clear that they need strong camera coverage before storing goods in our warehouse,” said Buertesch. “For us, security is not just an operational requirement — it is part of how we earn and maintain customer trust.”

“We’re already discussing adding cameras inside the building,” said Pfeiffer. “ For high-value products, a dedicated camera-monitored area would help us protect inventory, review incidents, and give customers even more confidence.”
