The Challenge
Brivo faced challenges in providing their customers with in-depth reporting options and the ability to visualize, analyze, and comprehend their data. Their customers needed to easily distinguish potential security risks and trends from normal activity and required more dynamic and interactive web-based reporting options. Additionally, with the increasing emphasis on physical security and cybersecurity, Brivo’s customers needed an efficient approach to quickly identify critical information, such as security breaches or other anomalies, without reviewing multiple video screens. This need was particularly important for larger enterprises with security teams that had to monitor greater volumes of people and physical locations.
About The Customer
Brivo is a global leader in cloud-based access control and security platforms for commercial and multifamily properties. Their mission is to provide Simply Better Security solutions that improve user experiences for property managers, tenants, employees, and visitors. With over 20 million users and 1,500 authorized resellers, Brivo’s SaaS platform unifies the security experience across access control, mobile credentials, video surveillance, identity federation, visitor management, intercoms, and elevator control. Brivo is privately held and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, and has been in operation since 2001. They have over 75,000 unique sites in the U.S. and in 40+ countries around the world, generating about 13 million to 14 million events a day.
The Solution
To address their challenges, Brivo partnered with Logi Analytics to leverage their scalable embedded analytics platform. This platform provided Brivo with the ability to integrate powerful visualizations and reporting tools directly into their existing solution. The Logi Analytics platform, including Logi Composer and Logi Report, offered a modern user interface that was intuitive and easy to use for non-data users. Brivo’s enterprise-tier customers could access the Brivo Data Explorer tool, which connected the Logi Analytics platform to their data warehouse and data lake, allowing for real-time embedded analytics. This enabled security team members to explore various scenarios, filter out normal events, and locate unusual activity. The platform also provided fine-grained permissions and bulk actions, making it easier for larger organizations to manage their security data.
