RETAIL SECURITY SOLUTIONS

Retail stores have always been a target for theft and burglary. With high-dollar inventory on-site, business owners must take their store’s security seriously. From theft to burglary, retail stores need protection from break-ins, internal theft, and shoplifters. Retail security solutions by SecurityCaging.com and International Vault mitigate loss by protecting valuable physical goods and assets through the integration of a vault or cage system. These products are used to buy time for an alarm signal and security or police force response to interdict the crime. 

Retail industries such as jewelry, clothing, tobacco, liquor, and weapon retailers alike need protection from various threats. Installing visual deterrents such as caging and storage lockers help to keep your goods secure from wandering eyes and reduce inventory shrinkage by limiting access to these valuable items. The most loss that occurs in a retail environment happens by way of “Smash and Grab” thefts. Protecting high-value products and employees, by storing retail assets in a secure inventory room, is possible through the use of wire mesh products. This kind of physical security will reduce the chances of the most common theft. Increase organization using secure storage solutions to help design merchandise displays with security in mind. 

External Security Solutions

The biggest threat for retail locations is theft from shoplifters, burglars, or robbers. No one wants to arrive in the morning to find their retail store has been the victim of burglary. Employees do not want to feel like their workplace is a target for theft due to poor security measures. “Smash and Grabs” during the day or burglaries in the middle of the night have both become common occurrences in the retail industry. Protect your merchandise by installing wire mesh partitions with limited access for inventory storage. Compartmentalize different types of valuable goods in separate storage areas using caging to subdivide to further enhance security. Jewelry stores and gun shops alike need physical security for valuable inventory, we offer safes, micro-vaults, or modular vaults in addition to security caging for proven secure item storage. Often, theft is opportunistic; storing your inventory in secure wire mesh cages helps deter burglary and robbery. Secure wire mesh caging will slow down burglars, which will increase their chance of being caught by authorities during a break-in. It will also keep the honest people honest, and provide a visual barrier to anyone who thinks of committing the “easy crime”. 

Internal Security Solutions

Companies focus on outside threat protection, however, internal retail protection is also essential. Without a highly secure limited access area to inventory, retail stores may suffer from internal shrinkage due to employee theft. Secure storage helps to deter employee theft and increases the ease and accuracy of inventory counts. High-density shelving can also be used to store merchandise within these secure storage areas and act as a physical barrier to theft. Keeping your employees safe and accountable is important for the protection of your business’s security. 

Importance of Physical Security 

Protect your profits, eliminate shoplifting, avoid theft, and prevent inventory shrinkage by taking control of your physical security measures. Insurance companies want to ensure businesses with high security because it saves them money and hassle in comparison to vulnerable businesses. Visual deterrents such as security caging, wire mesh partitions, or safes can make a huge difference in mitigating risk for your retail business. Business insurance is required in the United States to operate any company. Insurance companies understand there is a risk associated with the congregation of valuable assets. In order to reduce the risk of cash and the most valuable assets in a retail operation being stolen, safes, cages, and vaults are required. Prior to obtaining insurance, throughout the pricing process, insurance companies specify the level of required security based on the value of the assets being stored at each retail location. Retail owners are required to comply with these recommendations to obtain insurance coverage from said insurance companies. Without these physical security products, retail businesses would not be able to operate or afford the risk of their valuable assets being stolen. A single burglary without insurance could cause a retailer to go bankrupt, hence the insurance requirements. 

In the cannabis industry specifically, physical security is critical to cannabis retailers due to the lack of regulation at the federal level, which makes it impossible for cannabis retailers to connect with banks. Therefore, cash control is vital to a business that cannot accept electronic payments. Cannabis retailers are especially vulnerable to security threats because they must keep large sums of cash on site. With countless cash transactions being handled by employees and distributors, it is not only important to keep a close count on cash transactions throughout the day but to keep financial assets in a secure location. Electronic locks and vaults allow for close monitoring of the movement of cash assets, which prevents internal theft while protecting yourself from outside theft or burglary
