The Importance of Security Solutions for your Retail Store

Loss or damage of properties or products from your retail store can be a huge deal on your end. As a retail business owner, you cannot simply take this lightly especially if your store sells high-priced goods like jewelry and the like.
So, in order to secure your retail store from possible threats like theft or damage, you will need security solutions. And if you think that you’re still lacking with more, here’s a list of common security devices/systems and their corresponding benefit to your retail store’s security.

1. Inventory Management
It’s vital to have complete control of your inventory and thanks to the modern technology of today, we are now able to enjoy the ease and convenience to automate such processes. A bar code scanner is one example. It is a technology that makes managing the cycle of an inventory easy by tracking products to ensure that it is not missing or stolen.

2. CCTV/ Surveillance Cameras
CCTV Cameras allow you to track and record daily happenings inside your retail store premises which means that if unfortunate and unexpected events occurred like theft, you will have something to investigate on and may act as a solid evidence if the situation requires. Along with this, it’s also encouraged that you and your staff should be cautious at all times to further minimize the risk of this situation from happening.

3. Access Control System
An Access Control System identifies and authorizes the entry and exit of a person within an area to provide complete protection and ensure safety within its premises. It can also be used to restrict access to certain areas like file rooms that house confidential data, and many more.

4. Fire Alarm System
Nobody knows when a fire is about to take place unless otherwise, you have a system that allows you to be notified of such an event. It is important for a Fire Alarm System to be installed inside your retail store to prevent your properties and merchandise from being severely damaged and affected.

5. Electronic Article Surveillance
An EAS or an Electronic Article Surveillance system works like an invisible gate that picks up a signal on an active tag passing by it and triggers an alarm. These tags are attached to the products or merchandise being sold. Products that are legally sold and paid in the cashier are detached from the tag while those that are stolen are easily recognized with the triggered alarm that notifies the store personnel of the situation.

6. Buzzer
Buzzers are devices that release a sound whenever someone enters and exits a store’s premises. It keeps potential shoplifters to be alarmed and informed that the store is keeping a close eye on them.

7. POS (Point of Sale)
A POS or a Point-Of-Sale security system prevents unauthorized access of electronic payments to individuals who are potentially trying to steal confidential and personal details of customers like credit card information.
