Warehouse and distribution centre security with one point of control

A DC, warehouse or cross-dock is a high-throughput environment: drivers, temporary staff, own personnel, suppliers and maintenance parties move across the site every day. Load and unload windows are short, planning pressure is high, and one trailer at the wrong dock, one missing pallet or one unauthorised entry at the docks can hit your customer commitments straight away. Theft from trailers and warehouse, unauthorised access at the docks and internal losses are the most common problems.

Kilic Security is a Dutch security company specialised in logistics: distribution centres, warehouses, cross-docks, cold storage and e-fulfilment. We work with logistics operators across the Netherlands, from Port of Rotterdam and Schiphol to the Venlo, Tilburg and Eindhoven corridors. We provide licensed officers with a valid security ID, ANPR at the gate for driver and vehicle registration, CCTV on perimeter, docks and warehouse floor, tight access control and 24/7 alarm response from our own control room. One dedicated point of contact across your sites, with on-call duty available around the clock.

Fixed teams that know your processes

A small fixed team on your site, licensed with a valid security ID, VOG background check and additional screening where required. They know your docks, your shift pattern, your regular carriers and the contacts inside your logistics organisation. No rotating agency officers, no changing faces at the gate. That lowers the risk of trailer mix-ups at the docks, ID errors and disruption from misunderstandings at access.

Why logistics sites have their own risk profile

In logistics the risks sit in different places than in an office or production plant. The biggest exposure is at the docks: short load and unload windows, many drivers you have never met, temporary staff walking between trailers and pallets briefly unattended on the floor. Theft from trailers, pallet swaps, unauthorised entry through an open dock door and internal losses all come together right there. And most of it happens during the day, in the middle of the operation, not at night.

Warehouse security therefore takes more than a fence and a camera. It takes a fixed team that knows your processes (which carrier loads when, which order mix comes in, which shift is starting), a gate that recognises drivers before they roll in, cameras that watch the docks and the warehouse floor and a control room that responds the moment a detection comes in. Kilic Security combines those layers into one setup.

The human link on dock and floor

ANPR and cameras only deliver when someone responds. Our on-site officer is that link: recognising drivers at the gate, registering visitors and suppliers, keeping oversight at the docks during loading and unloading, running targeted warehouse rounds and escalating to the control room, your shift lead or emergency services the moment something falls outside protocol.

Daily operation on DC and warehouse

A shift starts with the handover: open incidents, expected trailers, scheduled maintenance parties and staffing per shift. Then the gate runs: ANPR reads the number plate, the driver reports in, paperwork and pick-up reference are checked and the trailer is assigned a dock. At the dock the officer or dock master keeps oversight of loading and unloading; on the floor preventive rounds cover order pick lanes, return zones and the perimeter. Between rounds the gate stays staffed.

Driver check-ins, visitors and incidents are logged digitally and traceably. When an alarm comes in (a perimeter camera detection, an open dock door outside its window, a forced entry or a suspicious situation) the control room reviews the footage, briefs the officer on site and dispatches emergency services or your duty manager in parallel. The next morning a clear report lands with your operations or security lead.

Technology that reinforces the logistics team

Kilic Security designs, installs and manages the technology that supports your operation: ANPR cameras at the entry and exit, CCTV on perimeter, docks and warehouse floor with smart detection, and access control with zone authorisations for staff, visitors and external maintenance parties. Camera footage and alarm signals come into our own control room 24/7, where operators review the footage, brief the officer on site and dispatch mobile patrol or emergency services in parallel.

One point of control across sites

Running multiple DCs, hubs or cross-docks? Kilic Security keeps control in one hand: one dedicated point of contact, one reporting line and one set of procedures across your locations. Camera footage, ANPR records, access logs and incident records come together in one overview, and the on-call duty is available 24/7.

Distribution centres, warehouses, cross-docks, logistics hubs, cold and frozen storage and e-fulfilment sites. From a single DC to a network of multiple locations, with one dedicated point of contact across all your sites.

Yes, this is one of the core parts of our work in logistics. Our officer or dock master checks that the right trailer is at the right dock, signs off arrival and departure, keeps a line of sight on open dock doors and escalates deviations straight to your shift lead and control room. Combined with ANPR and a camera on the dock face this makes the process watertight.

Yes. We design, install and manage ANPR cameras at entry and exit. Number plates are read automatically and matched to the expected trailer and dock planning. Arrival, dock visit and departure are logged digitally, so at any moment you have visibility of who was at which dock and when.

Yes. Kilic Security designs, installs and maintains CCTV for perimeter, docks, warehouse floor and return zones, including smart detection and LED lighting where needed. Management, fault handling and 24/7 live monitoring all run through our own control room, so installation, monitoring and response stay in one hand.

Yes. We deliver both permanent 24/7 staffing and mixed models: for example fixed presence on gate and docks during the operation, with camera monitoring and mobile patrols at night and at weekends. We scale with peak periods, seasonal pressure and maintenance shutdowns.

We limit insider risk with a combination of tight access control on zone authorisations, camera oversight on the warehouse floor and return zones, targeted rounds and traceable logging of every action. We do not take HR decisions for you, but we make sure deviations (leaving a zone, unauthorised access, suspicious handling at return zones) are noticed, logged and reported according to your protocol.

On an acute alert, mobile patrol is on site within 1 hour, nationwide and also at night and at weekends. On sites with permanent staffing the first response is immediate: the on-site officer verifies the alarm while the control room informs emergency services or your duty manager in parallel.
