When you’re running a distribution facility off Highway 99 in Fresno…
or managing cold storage in Fowler…
or overseeing ag freight moving through Selma and Kingsburg…
Time is margin.
A missing pallet.
A damaged shipment.
A dock incident.
If it takes four hours to investigate, you’re not just losing time — you’re losing leverage.
That’s the operational challenge McLane Company faced across its nationwide footprint.
The Problem: Fragmented Visibility Across 80 Distribution Centers
McLane operates 80 distribution centers across the United States.
Before modernization:
- Sites operated independently
- Legacy DVR systems required manual footage review
- Investigations took hours
- Security policies weren’t standardized
- Corporate teams lacked real-time visibility
If something happened at 9:00 AM, leadership might not have answers until late afternoon.
At scale, that’s a liability problem.
What McLane Implemented
McLane transitioned from traditional DVR environments to a centralized, cloud-managed platform across all 80 facilities. Case_Study_Slides_-_Supply_chain
The shift enabled:
- Real-time remote access
- Centralized security oversight
- AI-powered search
- Standardized policies across facilities
- Faster evidence collection
Glenn Master, Head of Asset Protection, Security & Crisis Management at McLane, summarized it clearly:
“I can start an investigation in the morning and, by lunch, have enough video evidence to present to executive management.”
That’s not a camera upgrade.
That’s operational velocity.
Why This Matters in the Central Valley
The Central Valley is a logistics artery.
We move:
- Agricultural exports
- Manufacturing components
- Consumer goods
- Construction materials
Facilities here often operate:
- Multi-shift schedules
- Long dock lines
- Seasonal labor forces
- Large, multi-building campuses
When an incident occurs at a Selma distribution yard or a Fresno industrial corridor facility, investigation speed impacts:
- Insurance exposure
- Vendor disputes
- OSHA documentation
- Client trust
- Contract renewals
If a container leaves a Kingsburg facility and a claim surfaces later…
Can your team search by dock door?
By truck color?
By timestamp?
Or are you scrubbing hours of video?
The Real Shift: Centralized Oversight
McLane didn’t just install cameras.
They centralized visibility.
That means:
- Corporate-level oversight across facilities
- Faster internal investigations
- Secure clip sharing
- Remote troubleshooting
- Consistent security standards
For Central Valley operators dealing with labor shortages, compliance pressure, and rising insurance costs — that kind of visibility changes the operating model.

The Bigger Question
If a dock discrepancy happened at 9:12 AM at your Fresno facility…
Would you have clarity by 9:30?
Or by 4:30?
Modernization isn’t about cameras.
It’s about response time.
