Manufacturing & Logistics
Compliance at the Gate. Safety on the Floor.
In manufacturing plants, warehouses, and logistics hubs, security and compliance begin at the perimeter. Every day, thousands of employees, contractors, and delivery drivers move in and out of high-risk environments where safety is non-negotiable.
Paper logs, manual checks, and unverified inductions create bottlenecks and expose organisations to fines, delays, and unnecessary risk. Kenai unifies perimeter scanning, employee oversight, and compliance tracking into one digital platform — trusted by leading industrial operators.
Why Manufacturing & Logistics Need Kenai
Industrial sites face challenges very different from office environments:
- High contractor and vehicle volumes — constant movement of people and trucks.
- Strict compliance obligations — ISO, OSHA, and safety regulator requirements.
- Safety-critical oversight — induction and document verification at entry.
- Complex access flows — employees, contractors, deliveries, and visitors all require different rules.
- Operational risk — compliance failures can lead to fines, downtime, and safety incidents.
Kenai makes every entry traceable, compliant, and audit-ready — without slowing down operations.

Example Use Case
A major logistics hub managing over 3,000 contractors weekly replaced paper inductions and manual gate checks with Kenai.
Contractors now pre-register online, submit compliance documents before arrival, and receive QR codes for quick access. Guards use handheld scanners to verify driver’s licenses and vehicle disks at entry, with all data logged instantly.
During a safety audit, the HSE team exported six months of contractor access and compliance records in minutes — avoiding fines and saving days of manual reconciliation.
