The Customer

Chariot Automotive Group

About The Customer

Chariot Automotive Group is a reputable automotive dealership that sells new and pre-owned vehicles at five locations in north-central Indiana. They also provide quality parts and exceptional customer service. The organization prides itself on delivering a positive customer experience through trust-building and honest, ethical, dependable vehicle sales and service. Their nearly perfect 5.0 rating on Google underscores their commitment to customer satisfaction. Operating five locations means securing five locations, each with unique security needs. The organization required a creative and inspired solution for their corporate office that would not compromise on performance, ease of use, or efficiency.

The Challenge

Chariot Automotive Group, a highly-rated automotive dealership with five locations in north-central Indiana, faced a significant challenge in securing all its locations. Each site had unique security needs, and the physical space and up-front costs were limited. The organization required a smaller-scale solution for their corporate office that would not compromise on performance, ease of use, or efficiency. The challenge was to find a creative and inspired solution that would meet these security requirements within a desirable installation timeline.

The Solution

Chariot Automotive Group collaborated with ITech Digital to identify a suitable solution. After a thorough investigation, they determined that 3xLOGIC’s innovative and scalable VIGIL CLOUD solution was a perfect fit. This full IP cloud-based solution provided all the features of 3xLOGIC’s award-winning VIGIL Video Management software with the power, scalability, and ease of use that are characteristic of cloud-based solutions. The solution involved the installation of IP, megapixel cameras focused on crucial entry points, recording high-resolution motion video. The footage is stored and managed in the ultra-secure CLOUD, and remote viewing is accessed through the customer web portal and the VIGIL CLOUD app using proper login credentials. The solution did not require on-site NVR, bridge, gateway, or any other hardware, allowing for fast installation and constant adaptability as Chariot’s needs grow and change.

Operational Impact

The implementation of the VIGIL CLOUD solution has brought about significant operational benefits for Chariot Automotive Group. The cloud-based cameras have allowed the organization to transition to a subscription model, eliminating the need for on-premises servers and maintenance. This has resulted in cost and space savings. The solution's scalability means that as the organization's needs grow, they can easily bring additional cameras online, minimizing upfront costs. The team can now easily view live and recorded video at any time on any device, organize and share video clips, and manage user roles and permissions remotely. The high-quality cameras deliver superior images, providing instant access to live and recorded video from anywhere, at any time. This has enhanced the organization's security capabilities and improved their operational efficiency.
