Case Study

Enhanced Security and Cost Savings for Auto Dealership with RIO360

CLIENT BACKGROUND

FPI Security Services has a well-known automobile dealership client that needed comprehensive security coverage for an offsite lot that housed a variety of cars. Initially, the management team contacted FPI Security Services to provide traditional security guard services, to ensure the safety of this remote location from theft, damage, and a variety of other potential threats to the inventory. After a thorough investigation, FPI Security Services presented a different solution that would better suit the needs of the client.

THE CHALLENGE

The primary challenge presented to FPI Security Services was providing the client with a robust security solution for the offsite lot that could operate 24/7. This solution would not only deter potential theft and vandalism, but also reduce the overall security expenditure for the client. The dealership required a solution that would maintain high security standards and offer reliable, autonomous operation without the continuous cost of a security guard.

THE SOLUTION

FPI Security Services proposed the deployment of the RIO360 by RAD to replace the traditional security guard. The RIO360 is a state-of-the-art security device that includes a variety of features to benefit the needs of clients.

Built-in Deterrence and Audio: The RIO360 is equipped with loudspeakers for talk-down audio capabilities, enabling real-time interaction and deterrence.
Solar-Powered: The RIO360 operates on solar power, ensuring continuous operation with minimal maintenance.
Cellular Connection: Utilizes cellular connectivity for real-time communication and monitoring, ensuring a robust connection without the need for on-site infrastructure.
Autonomous Responses: Equipped with advanced sensors and analytics to autonomously detect and respond to suspicious activities.

IMPLEMENTATION

The implementation process involved the following steps to get the RIO360 running effectively for the client: assessment and planning, deployment, and finally training and integration.

Assessment and Planning: FPI Security Services conducted a thorough assessment of the offsite lot’s security needs and layout. Based on the final analysis, the management team then designed a deployment plan for optimal coverage using the RIO360. Together with the client, FPI Security Services uncovered the perfect placement of the autonomous solution to monitor the lot and its vehicles.
Deployment: When it was time to deploy the security solution, FPI Security Services installed the RIO360 device at a strategic location within the offsite lot premises. This solution would not only monitor the entire lot but be visible to possible loiters and thieves to deter them from entering the property. FPI Security Services integrated the RIO360 with its FPISOC (Security Operations Center) for continuous monitoring and real-time response coordination.
Training and Integration: FPI Security Service’s team provided training for the dealership’s management team on the operation and benefits of the RIO360. Not only did this ensure seamless integration with existing security protocols and systems, but provided educational benefits to the client's team on how the security solution functions.

THE RESULTS

The deployment of the RIO360 resulted in the following significant benefits for the company.

Cost Savings: The dealership achieved substantial savings by replacing the traditional security guard with the RIO360, reducing labor costs and associated expenses.
Enhanced Security: The RIO360’s 24/7 autonomous monitoring and deterrence capabilities provided a higher level of security. The solar-powered and cellular-connected setup ensured uninterrupted operation, even in remote areas of the lot.
Client Satisfaction: The dealership reported increased satisfaction with the security setup, noting the effectiveness of the RIO360 in deterring theft and vandalism. Positive feedback on the ease of use and reliability of the system.
