Sakari Kingelin, Head of Supply Chain and Procurement at Joe and the Juice, oversees strategic planning, supplier management, end-to-end procurement, and technology integration. Joe and the Juice operates 350 stores in 20 countries, offering a unique customer experience beyond just food and beverages.
Verkada’s system plays a crucial role in safety and operations by providing departments with access and insights into store operations, a significant improvement over traditional CCTV systems. The platform’s GDPR compliance, with features like face blurring, is essential for sharing footage with authorities. Joe and the Juice also uses Verkada to analyze customer flow and identify bottlenecks at the point of sale, informing store design improvements. In the supply chain, Verkada helps monitor deliveries and investigate issues, providing valuable feedback to suppliers.
The user-friendly interface and transparency of the platform are highly valued. Kingelin is excited about Verkada’s future developments, including access control and Helix, which will further enhance visibility and collaboration across the company.
