Know exactly what left your gate, and when — with proof

The gate is where the numbers stop adding up

The stock count says one thing, the dispatch register says another, and nobody can explain the difference. The register is handwritten, filled in when the guard has a free hand, and it says whatever was written — not what happened. The truck that left at 9 PM is in nobody's book. The transporter swears twelve pallets went on; your customer swears ten came off; your only evidence is a page and a memory.

This is how shrinkage survives: not one big theft, but a gate where the record is soft. Loads padded by a carton here and there. An unlogged evening movement. A dispute you settle by absorbing the loss because you cannot prove otherwise. Every one of these has a price, and every one of them happened in full view of a camera nobody was watching.

• Handwritten gate registers record intentions, not events
• After-hours movements are the ones that never reach any register
• Disputes with transporters and customers get settled against you without proof

A dispatch record that writes itself

Foreman watches your gate, yard, and loading-bay cameras and logs every vehicle movement and every spell of dispatch-zone activity — timestamped, each entry backed by a photo. The record builds automatically, whether or not anyone at the gate had a free hand, and it is there when the numbers disagree: which vehicles left, when, and what the bay looked like while they were loaded.

When a transporter or customer dispute lands, you answer with a photo and a timestamp instead of a shrug. Detection runs on-site, with our own AI models trained in-house for Indian factory gates, and every event is double-checked before it enters your record.

• Every vehicle in or out, logged with time and photo proof
• Loading-bay activity logged, so you can see when loading happened — and when it should not have
• An independent record for disputes, built automatically

The after-hours watch on the dispatch zone

The dangerous movement is the one at night. Foreman flags any vehicle or person in the dispatch zone outside the hours you set, within seconds, on WhatsApp or Telegram with a photo — while the truck is still at the gate, not next week in a stock reconciliation. Loitering alerts flag someone dwelling near the bay after hours, the watching that comes before the taking. And because covering a camera is the first move in a planned theft, any feed that is blocked, turned, or goes dark triggers an alert of its own.

You set the boundary in your own words, in plain Hindi or English: "agar koi 8 baje ke baad dispatch area mein ghuse, mujhe batao." Foreman holds that line every night without being reminded.

• After-hours movement alerts within seconds, with photo proof
• Loitering alerts around the dispatch zone and gate
• Camera-tampering alerts the instant a feed goes blind
• Plain-language rules, per camera and per hour

The five-minute reconciliation habit

Every morning, your daily digest lists yesterday's vehicle movements and dispatch-zone activity in one place. Set it beside your dispatch register with your morning tea: every movement should have a paper entry, and every entry should have a movement. The gap, if there is one, is your answer — found the next day, not at quarter-end stocktake. The weekly PDF rolls the same record up for the month-end conversation with your accountant, your transporter, or an auditor.

• Daily digest of all gate and bay movement, every morning
• Weekly PDF report for reconciliation and audits
• Discrepancies surface in a day, not at stocktake

What it costs against one settled dispute

Sentry covers 6 cameras at ₹2,999 a month — ₹29,990 a year on annual prepay with two months free — enough for most gates and bays. Supervisor, at ₹7,999 a month or ₹79,990 a year, covers 16 cameras for larger yards. Set either against one plainly framed hypothetical: if a single transporter dispute went your way because you had a timestamped photo, or one after-hours load was stopped at the gate, what would that one event be worth? Price it yourself — we will not invent a number to impress you. During the free pilot, the dashboard's rupee-impact estimate, labelled as an estimate, lets you judge it on your own gate's traffic.

Watching your gate by tomorrow

Foreman is software only and connects to the Hikvision, CP Plus, or Dahua DVR you already run — no new hardware, no rewiring. Setup takes about 30 minutes, done remotely with your own CCTV installer or computer guy. Start a free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras — gate and bay first — with no card. The first real alert typically lands within 48 hours.
