Brief summary
The case study at a glance
A quick read distilled from the full -page case study — the problem, what Sanadi delivered and the outcomes that mattered.
Unified enterprise platform spanning visitor management, vehicle gate pass management and incident management across Burj Khalifa & EMAAR Group properties in Dubai.
Pre-approved visits, contractor onboarding, vehicle gate passes and security incidents flow through one workflow engine with role-based approvals and full audit trail.
Mobile access workflows let security supervisors, hosts and contractors approve, verify and check-in from the field — no paper, no queues at the gate.
Security process automation enforces SOPs at every gate: pass validity, vehicle/driver match, contractor compliance and incident response checklists.
Outcomes: streamlined visitor approval workflows, improved security compliance, faster gate access processing, enhanced operational visibility and centralized incident management.
Business challenges
What the customer was facing before Sanadi.
Iconic property, complex access
Burj Khalifa and EMAAR properties host residents, tenants, dignitaries, contractors and millions of visitors — manual coordination did not scale.
Fragmented visitor approvals
Visitor requests routed through email, calls and paper — slow approvals and inconsistent records across hosts and security.
Vehicle gate pass control
Contractor and service vehicles needed verifiable gate passes with driver and timing checks at every entry point.
Incident reporting gaps
Security incidents were logged on paper or local trackers — no single view, slow follow-up, weak audit readiness.
Compliance & audit trail
Iconic-asset security demanded a complete, immutable audit trail across visitors, vehicles, contractors and incidents.
Mobile-first security teams
Supervisors and gate teams operate in the field — desktop-only tools created bottlenecks at the gate.
