Multi-site logistics supervision: centralize and cut your operating costs
Multi-site logistics supervision has become a performance lever for security and operations directors. Facing flows exposed to cargo theft and rising costs, ANAVEO centralizes your warehouses, hubs and fleets from a single control point, from initial audit to full rollout.
Centralization, from a single control point, of all electronic security devices (CCTV, access control, intrusion detection, lone worker protection) deployed across a fleet of warehouses, hubs, logistics platforms and trucks. It relies on a cloud platform, at ANAVEO the INNOVEO platform, which unifies event flows, aggregates real-time alerts and enables security or operations management to oversee the entire fleet without on-site travel.
In transport and logistics, security is no longer an isolated cost line: it is a lever for operational performance. Logistics groups that centralize the supervision of their warehouses, hubs and fleets reduce their human costs, accelerate incident response and gain global visibility from their security or operations department.
ANAVEO supports transport and logistics operators in deploying a centralized, scalable monitoring platform with no upfront investment. The same approach applies to a fleet of 5 warehouses as to 50 sites, with a single point of contact, harmonized SLAs and a predictable monthly cost.
Cargo theft in 2025, a logistics market under pressure
According to 2025 data from TAPA EMEA (Transported Asset Protection Association), logistics crime in Europe has hit record highs.
| Indicator 2025 | Value |
|---|---|
| Annual cargo losses in Europe | €8.2 bn |
| Average daily losses | €22M / day |
| France’s rank among most affected countries | 3rd |
| Recorded thefts (2025) | 157,421 |
| Monthly peak (July 2025) | 660 incidents (€16M) |
| Average loss per theft (2024 to 2025) | €9,200 to €25,200 (+273%) |
| Share of thefts targeting trucks | 76% (vs 68% in 2023) |
Source: TAPA EMEA, 2025 annual statistics (see external sources at the bottom of the page).
The picture is clear: logistics chains have become a priority target for organized and opportunistic crime, with increasingly professional methods (insider collusion, micro-thefts in picking areas, coordinated diversions).
The real challenges of multi-site logistics supervision
Before tackling multi-site logistics supervision in practice, here are the six structural challenges shared by security and operations directors that traditional security cannot solve.
Heterogeneous systems
Each site has its own installer, its own software, its own procedures, making it impossible to manage from headquarters.
Uncontrolled guarding costs
Reliance on human security explodes as soon as the site portfolio expands, with no real proportionality to the actual risk.
Insufficient visibility
An incident on a secondary site is often discovered the following morning, or several days after the fact.
Untraceable cargo losses
Without time-stamped video evidence at the loading dock, the dispute with the carrier is lost in advance, even with insurers.
Growing insider threat
Employee or driver collusion and micro-thefts in picking areas now account for a major share of losses, where classic perimeter security falls short.
Non-compliant lone worker protection
Night-time lone workers are not covered as required by law, exposing the company to criminal liability under the French Labour Code on lone worker protection.
The ANAVEO answer is built on a simple principle: one platform, all your sites, one monthly all-inclusive subscription.
Real cases, when security fails
Recent rulings illustrate the need for structured logistics supervision capable of producing video evidence admissible in court.
Mass retail diversion
€355,000Five employees convicted for the theft of goods from a central warehouse. Deficient documentary traceability delayed the start of the procedure by more than six months.
Insider theft in luxury
€145,000A stock coordinator at a European luxury house removed two hundred items over several months. Without barcode-linked video traceability (PackageTracker), detection relies on the annual inventory.
High-value cargo theft, A11 motorway
€100,000Luxury goods convoy intercepted on the A11 motorway. Without vehicle tracking and driver lone worker protection, identifying the modus operandi remains partial.
Four multi-site logistics supervision use cases with immediate ROI
A well-executed multi-site logistics supervision strategy delivers four concrete return-on-investment levers.
Centralized multi-site monitoring
All your cameras, alarms and access points reachable from a single interface (CloudTracker) with ONVIF, RTSP and REST API support. Your security director manages the entire fleet from headquarters, with no travel.
30 to 45% lower coordination costsDock video evidence and cargo disputes
Every loading and unloading operation is recorded and time-stamped. The Pack Investigation module integrates FastSearch (binary search over 30 days) and exports a certified PDF report in under 10 minutes, admissible in court and accepted by cargo insurers.
Documented dispute in under 10 minAccess control and vehicle flows
AccessTracker and Number Plate Tracker automate truck and contractor entries and exits. Plate reading from 5 to 25 m (up to 30 m in infrared), 0 lux operation, up to 100,000 scans, configured in line with applicable CNIL recommendations for video surveillance and plate reading.
No more agents at gatesLone worker protection (LWP)
Worker Protection Tracker covers your night-time material handlers and maintenance staff (fall detection, motion absence, manual SOS, in-warehouse geolocation) in line with French Labour Code obligations on lone worker protection. Emergency response in under three minutes via ANAVEO PREVENT, our APSAD I31 type P5 certified monitoring center.

From CAPEX to OPEX, the model gaining ground in logistics
Logistics CFOs now prefer a predictable monthly cost to a hardware investment depreciated over five years.
CAPEX per site
- Heavy upfront investment for each site
- Maintenance billed separately, on a different contract
- Heterogeneous installers and procedures
- No scalability, every new site triggers a renegotiation
- Application updates not included
- Hidden cost of coordination between providers
OPEX monthly subscription
- Latest-generation hardware with no upfront payment
- Preventive and corrective maintenance included (SLA)
- 24/7 monitoring via ANAVEO PREVENT, APSAD I31 type P5 certified center
- Site additions without contract renegotiation
- INNOVEO software updates included
- A single point of contact for the whole fleet

Questions from security and operations directors
How can we standardize security across 20 sites with heterogeneous systems?
ANAVEO audits the existing landscape site by site and proposes a progressive convergence plan: the most critical sites or oldest equipment are addressed first. CloudTracker unifies supervision even during migration, with no service interruption. The goal is a single interface across the entire fleet within 12 to 18 months, depending on its size.
Is the ANAVEO subscription model more expensive than buying outright?
Over the actual lifetime of a system (5 to 7 years), the all-inclusive subscription model (hardware, maintenance, monitoring, updates) is systematically cheaper than the sum of purchase, maintenance, replacement and separate monitoring contracts. ANAVEO provides a detailed TCO comparison on quote.
Can new sites be added without renegotiating the contract?
Yes. Adding sites is contractually anticipated from day one. Each new site is integrated into the same subscription with the same pricing and SLAs. This is precisely what makes the ANAVEO model scalable.
How do we handle lone worker compliance for night-time material handlers?
Worker Protection Tracker is configured to meet French Labour Code obligations on lone worker protection: fall detection, motion absence, manual SOS, accurate location inside the warehouse. ANAVEO provides compliance documentation for labor inspectors. The monthly cost per worker is less than one hour of physical patrol.
How do we prove a loading dispute with a carrier?
Pack Investigation exports the dock video sequence in under 10 minutes with certified time stamps and untouched metadata. This document is admissible in court and accepted by cargo insurers.
What is the most effective approach to prevent cargo theft in 2026?
A combination of Smart Apps built around three pillars: detection with ZoneTracker (3D and 4D intrusion, distinguishing humans from interference in 1 to 3 seconds), identification with Number Plate Tracker and AccessTracker (vehicle and contractor traceability), and investigation with Pack Investigation and PackageTracker (video evidence linked to barcodes). The whole is supervised via CloudTracker for immediate reaction, and paired with ANAVEO PREVENT (APSAD I31 type P5 certified monitoring center) for 24/7 intervention.
How do we cut guarding costs while securing the site 24/7?
The classic physical guarding equation (three 8-hour shifts × 365 days at fully loaded hourly cost) is far higher than an ANAVEO subscription combining Worker Protection Tracker for lone workers, ANAVEO PREVENT (APSAD I31 type P5 monitoring center, response in under 60 seconds on incident) and CloudTracker for centralized supervision. On average, logistics groups observe a 30 to 45% reduction in guarding costs across a fleet of 10+ sites, with improved incident reactivity.
Can ANAVEO be integrated with an existing TMS or WMS?
Yes. INNOVEO exposes a REST API and an ONVIF/RTSP connector that enable integration with the main WMS (SAP EWM, Manhattan WMS, Reflex, Generix) and TMS (SAP TM, Akanea, A-SIS). PackageTracker also integrates with your scanning software in real time to link barcode and video at every scan point. Interface development takes one to two weeks after access to client data.
