Challenge	Papa & Barkley, a cannabis manufacturer and distributor, faced significant challenges in managing their facilities. With four different facilities primarily located in Eureka, California, they had to adhere to strict safety requirements and specialized regulations for the cannabis industry. This necessitated real-time visibility and facility security. To ensure compliance and safety, they employed Facility Intelligence Coordinators (FICs) to monitor their operations 24/7 using a legacy camera system. However, with 167 cameras monitoring a collective 79,000 square feet, manually reviewing footage was time-consuming and led to burnout among the FICs. Additionally, the City of Eureka and the state of California conducted surprise inspections, for which retrieving video footage was essential. Before Samsara, finding the right footage could take hours. As a rapidly growing company, Papa & Barkley needed an onsite camera system that could streamline their processes and scale with them.
