Chiquita Fruitbar - a 30 stores reference case. 

The Chiquita fruit bar is a new ultra-fresh-convenience concept offering squeezed-to-order fruit juices, milkshakes and smoothies. Additionally also whole fruit, pre-cut fruit, fruit & vegetable salads and snacks are offered. It is a unique concept, with around 30 stores and currently rolling out further. Chiquita fruit bar was looking for a video solution that could address different business needs as well as offer the right scalability for the expected growth of the concept throughout Europe.

Chiquita fruit bar ideally needed a hosted video surveillance and monitoring solution that would be cost-effective, easy to use and scalable to facilitate future (geographic) expansion of the Chiquita fruit bar franchise organisation. Moreover the solution needed to be a fit-for-all concept that could be seamlessly integrated into the IP network of the whole franchise organisation. Previous experience with substitute products had not been very positive, with problems ranging from uploading issues, relatively high investments needed to place expensive recorders in every store, and time-consuming monitoring of video images.

Cameramanager Online is an industry leading hosted solution for online IP camera management. With Cameramanager Online you can view live camera images, store images online in our datacenter and receive alarm on motion detection 24/7. At your location (shop, office, etc.) you install IP cameras. These cameras will be connected to your existing Internet connection. Via our online portal www.cameramanager.com, you can watch your cameras 24/7 via PC or mobile phone. Recordings are safely stored in the datacenter so no local recorder is needed.

The hosted IP video solution offered by Cameramanager addresses all the business needs of the expanding franchise organisation whilst being scalable and cost-effective. The Cameramanager.com platform gives Chiquita fruit bar the opportunity to remotely view video images to monitor the application of its concept in all locations, whilst offering the end-user an online video security solution.

“Not only is the system easy to install and very user-friendly, the extensive functionality allows us to integrate video surveillance and monitoring into one web-based solution across the business,” says Henk Meijer, Shop Fit Out Manager, responsible for the technical side of the Chiquita fruit bar store concept. “Moreover the scalability is perfect for the ambitious growth plans of our organisation. Also, due to the functionality of the monitoring system we have saved a lot of time. We previously needed to be physically in the stores to look at all video images. We have integrated the Cameramanager system into our franchise concept and I would recommend it any organisation with similar needs and challenges for their surveillance and monitoring solution.”
