I’d absolutely consider something like that.
The IT guy at this place manages dudesolutions.com which is web based access, a pretty full set of MS business web access apps/services tied to the company Windows computers with dudesolutions being able to tie into it. Cameras as mentioned, MS/PC RFIC chip cards for employee building access(global food safety initiative), time clock, digital clocks all over the place for employees to see, all synced on the network.
We make plastic bags including most generic 1 lb ground beef/pork tubes/bags in the US, hence the food safety thing but we don’t strictly adhere to it all. Just enough to cover an occasional inspection and have a certification to add value.
Tons of companies like this are dotted across the country. There are several near me.
One neat thing is that the employee general access PC in the break room area for looking at the company manual etc runs Ubuntu. This IT guy has one boss, the owner. Has his own office with tech equipment all around him.
I have no idea how much tech vs paid SAAS there is.
