While searching for solutions on how to prevent shoplifting, have you come across the phrase loss prevention devices? When you hear it, what do you think about it? Do you imagine pins, alarming devices, or security cameras?
All those tools qualify as loss prevention but take it a step further. Imagine solutions that can reduce theft, increase sales, and keep your employees safe.
Going a Step Beyond Theft Prevention
Deterring theft is essential, but what if you can accomplish more by reducing your workload and the possible stress accompanying a loss? There are loss prevention solutions that go beyond traditional loss prevention devices. Tools that look at the big picture and not one corner of the photo.
Understanding what happens after a shoplifter steals from your store will help you to find the right device. Here’s an example of what occurs after a theft.
– You lose merchandise and the retail profit from it (money and product are lost)
– Your staff may feel uneasy or scared (a sense of safety is lost)
