Protecting Your Company's Stores and Assets

In the daily operations of a retail company, the risk of theft could be high. For this, business owners can implement specific procedures to reduce these threats and protect their offices, stores, and assets.

Having said that, you can feel free to contact our locksmith for assistance with keyless entry-safe installation or any other security-related offers.

Here are some critical security solutions for businesses to protect their stores and assets.

Control Employee Access

Withhold access to sensitive documents or files with unstable employees. Also, ensure that the number of duplicate keys is as low as possible and only available for those who genuinely need them. Keep a list of employees with continuous access to physical and digital assets.

Safe and Vault

Invest in a fireproof safe or a vault to keep cash and other similar sensitive documents for security purposes. Install the safe in a hidden location, and securely screw it to the floor. Rather get a locksmith to do this.

Surveillance Systems

From convenience stores, retailers to established companies, surveillance systems provide real-time footage once suspicious activity is detected. An important way to discourage possible thieves from perpetrating is to install cameras and to make them aware that these cameras help out in case a crime occurs.

Video recordings has proven to be helpful especially when a crime has come to pass.

Employee Training

Train employees on protocols like keeping doors locked, preventing unauthorized access, and steps to follow during a break-in. Inform employees on who among the staff should be contacted in case of a security breach or when a crime occurs on the premises. Plus, always conduct regular practice drills.

Keyless Entry Systems

Not only the external doors should be equipped with keyless entry systems. Electronic keypads can be fitted on multiple doors, which can only be opened using the programmed code. Most modern keyless lock technologies are Wi-Fi connected to permit code reprogramming and prompt alerts of lock action activities. Change the codes when the employees leave to prevent break-ins.

Reinforced Doors/Windows

Increase the sturdiness of the doors by installing heavy-duty deadbolt locks, reinforced strike plates, and tamper-proof hinges. Use security film and shatterproof glass on the windows. Think about using bars, grates, and roll-down shutters as additional protection. Also, keep the exterior lights on at night, and make sure to lock all the doors when you are away.

GPS Tracking

GPS tracking is a great solution for 24/7 asset location monitoring. Here, satellite data is used, and GPS systems come up with continuous location updates.

Trackers can be used for different assets, equipment, or machinery to ensure thorough tracking. Some devices such as cell phones, laptops, and tablets are designed with built-in GPS, eliminating the need for extra attachment.

All the solutions have their shortcomings but when combined, they're extremely effective. An example of this is when camera surveillance is used, offering full accountability for the equipment and the asset tracking system.
