Retail
Retail is a very high loss business in many
ways. Depending on the type of business you
could be loosing product to shoplifters,
shippers or employees. In 2002 small retail
stores lost on average of 1.7% of total
inventory to theft. For a small convenience
store this could be much higher. Much of this loss can be
prevented or recovered with the proper security
measures and can be added back to the bottom
line as profit. Here are a few ways we can help
