As one of the world's leading dairy companies, Arla Foods manages a vast network of offices, labs, and production facilities across Europe. With thousands of employees and strict compliance requirements, data-driven infrastructure is essential to running operations smoothly.

The Challenge

Arla wanted a simple, effective way to monitor physical presence across their sites — not only for security and compliance, but also to support daily operational needs like canteen planning. At the same time, new regulatory demands from NIS2 made it critical to improve documentation and oversight of their access control systems.

The Solution

Arla partnered with Senbee to implement Senbee Reporting, a light-weight yet powerful tool for presence detection and access control insights. By connecting to existing systems, Arla was able to quickly roll out reporting that give both real-time and historical views of building usage.

• Canteen forecasting: By analyzing live presence data, kitchen teams can now predict attendance and adjust portions accordingly. Food waste was reduced by 10% overnight.
• NIS2 Compliance: Arla uses Senbee Reporting to document who has access to what, and when — a key component in their drive to meet 100% NIS2 compliance. Access logs are now fully auditable, helping Arla maintain high security standards across their organization.

The Result

Senbee Reporting has become a core tool in Arla's digital infrastructure. The deployment was fast, required no major hardware changes, and immediately delivered measurable results in both sustainability and compliance.

"With Senbee Reporting, we've been able to make smarter, data-driven decisions—both for operations and compliance. The presence insights helped us reduce food waste by 10% overnight, and the access control reporting is a big step toward our goal of full NIS2 compliance. It's a lightweight solution that delivers real impact."
