Aloha Kia – Security is About AI and the Big Picture
Aloha Kia is the premier Hawaii Kia dealer, offering a huge selection of new and used vehicles from which to choose. The company places a high priority on exceeding customer expectations and for this reason has expanded to include 7 locations throughout Hawaii, all with full lots of inventory.
Security Challenges
All auto dealerships share some common challenges, such as having a large easily accessible property with every area needing 24/7 security coverage and having all of its inventory out in the open and fairly easily accessible. Cars can be easily stolen and quickly transported to chop shops. Vandalism and loitering are also serious problems. Securing auto dealerships has always been challenging as the most appropriate security means having “eyes on” every part of the facility at all times, most especially when the business is closed. This most often means having multiple security guards on the premises at all times to cover as many areas as possible
The Problems with Traditional Security
Not every security solution is fit for every application, and many more traditional solutions fall short when it comes to protecting dealerships. Here are some of the common concerns.
- It is nearly impossible to have visibility of the entire lot.
- Most solutions passively deter crime.
- Many provide valuable information after the fact, which shifts focus to identifying criminals and recovering losses.
- Using the wrong solutions leads to overspending on security.
- Traditional monitoring does not use intelligence to interpret data, leading to delay of response.
Aloha Kia’s Solution

Aloha Kia realizes that crime impacts always has a domino effect on the business, the customer, and the community.
