AMBEV

AMBEV secures 47 production and distribution sites with VAULT

AMBEV is one of the world's largest brewers. Production lines, distribution centres, R&D — 47 facilities across Brazil running under one access policy. The platform had to consolidate credentials centrally while preserving local autonomy at each site, and integrate with existing CCTV at every location.

Challenge

Multi-site brewing carries its own rhythm. Each facility has its own production schedule, contractor flow, and shift pattern. Without central oversight, credential management across 47 sites becomes an operational drag — and inconsistent policy is a silent risk.

Solution

VAULT consolidates 47 sites under one platform with independent per-site controls. Each facility keeps its own access levels and schedules; head office rolls out global rules in a single operation.

Centralised credential management

Issue, expire, and revoke credentials across 47 sites from one console.

Per-site policy autonomy

Each facility runs its own access levels — local managers keep operational control.

CCTV integration

Access events correlate with the existing video infrastructure for incident review.

Results

AMBEV runs one of the largest distributed access deployments in Latin America — every brewing site under one platform, local autonomy preserved.

A brewery doesn't sell access control. It sells beer. The right platform fades into the background — operations teams stop thinking about doors and start thinking about output.
