About The Customer
Teichert is a family-owned construction and materials producer company based in California. The company has been in operation since 1887 and has two main divisions: Teichert Materials, which produces rock, sand, gravel, and asphaltic concrete, and Teichert Construction, which builds critical infrastructure such as highways, airport terminals, and parks. With over 30 locations, hundreds of vehicles, and thousands of employees, Teichert is heavily reliant on its assets and materials to carry out its work. The company's operations are vast and dispersed, making real-time visibility into their operations critical for efficiency and security.
The Challenge
Teichert, a California-based construction and materials producer company, faced significant challenges due to limited visibility across its vast operations. With over 30 locations, hundreds of vehicles, and thousands of employees, real-time visibility into their entire operations was critical. The company was heavily reliant on its assets and materials for its work, making it essential to ensure adequate resources were available and located where needed. The company was also grappling with ongoing thefts, which necessitated an easy-to-use camera solution to help them quickly investigate, resolve, and prevent future thefts. The lack of an efficient system led to countless hours spent reviewing video footage, which was both time-consuming and inefficient.
The Solution
Teichert deployed Site Visibility, an IoT solution, to enhance their visibility and reduce onsite theft. The solution was deployed at Teichert’s 50-acre construction yard responsible for maintenance, repairs, and new product delivery. The company also installed Samsara Dash Cams (CM) and Vehicle Gateways (VG) across their fleet and Unpowered Asset Gateways (AG) on their smaller equipment to gain complete visibility into their assets’ locations at any given time. Site Visibility helped Teichert consolidate their camera streams in one dashboard and view that footage from anywhere. The solution's real-time access and search features were key differentiators, providing a constant pulse on what was happening in the yard. The company was also able to leverage their existing camera investment and overlay Site Visibility’s AI technology to further enhance their security and operational efficiency.
Operational Impact
  • The deployment of Site Visibility significantly improved Teichert's operational efficiency and security. The solution's intelligent search features enabled the company to quickly investigate when an incident occurred, saving several hours every week that were previously spent on reviewing video footage. The real-time access and search features provided a constant pulse on what was happening in the yard, which was invaluable for the company's operations. The solution also helped Teichert leverage their existing camera investment and overlay AI technology to consolidate their camera streams in one dashboard, enhancing their visibility and reducing onsite theft. The ability to view footage from anywhere further added to the solution's convenience and efficiency.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Theft incidents were quickly resolved, preventing potential losses.
  • Saved several hours every week by streamlining video retrieval.
  • Enhanced real-time visibility across 30+ sites, hundreds of vehicles, and thousands of employees.
