Bell Becomes More Secure: Thanks to UMB.
At Bell Schweiz AG, Switzerland's largest provider of meat, charcuterie, and seafood, safety is the top priority. That’s why the alarm system must meet the highest standards. The need was for discreet, fast communication options in emergencies and improved safety measures for employees. UMB provides the perfect solution for this.
#AlarmingBell Schweiz AG is part of the Bell Food Group, which employs around 13,000 people worldwide. In addition to the high quality and product variety, Bell's success factors include its innovative strength and ability to adapt quickly to market changes. With several strategically located production and distribution sites, Bell guarantees efficient supply and distribution. The cooperation with UMB underlines the company's efforts to set the highest standards also in technological areas.
Silent alarms, comprehensive protection
Bell was faced with the challenge of improving two critical aspects of safety. The company needed a silent alarm system to quickly and discreetly notify the right people internally in critical situations such as evacuations. It also lacked a reliable lone worker protection system that could cover multiple scenarios across multiple locations. For example, protecting employees on standby duty or the security officer during night rounds. Local, specific needs needed to be addressed within a standardized solution, and necessary adjustments needed to be made flexibly.
Tailor-made, highly available and flexible
Bell sells top-quality meat and convenience products. Top-class is precisely the quality that the company expects from its new alerting solution from the cloud. novaCLOUD from UMB partner novalink offers flexible alerting models and requires no infrastructure of its own, as it is provided as a service. Data storage in highly available, redundant UMB data centers in Switzerland guarantees reliability and data sovereignty.
The security vulnerabilities are eliminated
The UMB alarming solution has already been successfully implemented at various locations. UMB responded to the different requirements of the individual locations and perfectly adapted the hardware, software and processes. The security gaps in the areas of silent alarming and lone worker protection have been closed, while the safety of the employees is guaranteed in accordance with SUVA. Thanks to the reliable and scalable infrastructure, all sites benefit from high availability and the system can be easily extended to other branches.
Convincing advantages, now and in the future
Excellent cooperation, the security provided by the Swiss datacenter, the professional expertise in consulting, implementation, and operation, and the flexibility regarding the number of users have convinced Bell Schweiz AG to expand the services of the UMB alarming solution to additional locations and subsidiaries.
With UMB's support, the company will be able to continuously develop and consolidate its safety and efficiency standards.
Thanks to UMB, we were able to close the security gaps in the area of lone worker protection and silent alarms at the Bell Switzerland sites. We greatly appreciate UMB's expertise and uncomplicated, fast response - even on site if necessary.
