Prologis, an industrial property management company, ensures the safety, cleanliness, and reliability of its clients’ property. When an office in the Bay area saw recurring issues in trash dumping, tire theft, and gas siphoning, they knew the security measures they had in place were not enough. Director Sachna Raj started searching for a new solution. After following a lead, she found LiveView Technologies. Together Raj and LVT deployed several mobile security units with the goal of decreasing and even preventing theft and vandalization of the properties.
Searching for a security solution
Prologis is responsible for leasing and then maintaining industrial properties. After recurring crimes, clients grew frustrated and worried if their assets were safe. Raj explained, “We were concerned about [the client] and their security.” She explained the “major issues were gas siphoning, trash dumping, and tire stealing.”
Eliminating trash dumping
Prologis was losing thousands of dollars. People were entering the lots weekly and dumping large amounts of garbage. Wanting to keep the property clean for their clients, Prologis had to pay an outside crew to come and clean up the garbage every single week.
Preventing damage and theft to vehicles
Despite hiring a patrol company, tires were stolen, and gas was siphoned from cars, trucks, and delivery vehicles stored on the site several times per month. Prologis knew they needed higher quality monitoring at the sites to keep client property secure.

Results
LVT Mobile Security Systems made an immediate impact. Within days three units had been deployed at the sites. Since then, there have been zero incidents.
Striking simplicity
Raj was impressed with how quickly and easily LVT deployed the systems. There were no complicated steps for installation and no problems that Raj had to figure out or clients needed to fix. LVT’s setup process was fast. Through the user-friendly system, she and her clients were immediately receiving notifications about potential incidents. Local police departments even asked to be included in the notifications and were seamlessly added to that list.
Preventing Problems
Upon the deployment of the mobile security systems, both Prologis and their clients observed an immediate improvement. Within just three days, no incidents were reported. The client told Raj that they didn’t want the camera to move, and she assured them that it wouldn’t.
The security system remains in place, and months later, there have been no further thefts. Raj explained, “The presence of that trailer scares people away. I don't have monitoring there, only the units are there and that does the job.”
The LVT mobile security units effectively deterred the problems before they could arise, allowing Prologis to end the costly car patrols and cleaning crew thanks to the efficacy of the LVT systems.
Moving forward with a company wide solution
Prologis offices in Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, L.A., and Central Valley reached out to the Bay office about the security system they were using. Raj reported that now companywide they have almost 70 units deployed. The other sites have seen the same success as the Bay Area office. Raj is confident in recommending the quality of the LVT units in deterring crime, keeping properties clean, and safeguarding client assets.
