Theft in supermarkets and other self-service stores is inevitable. When calculating profits in most networks, as a rule, a certain percentage of theft of goods is even included. However, a set of measures to ensure the security of the trade zone will help to significantly reduce losses.
It is necessary
- - video surveillance system;
- - turnstiles;
- - magnetic chips.
Instructions
Step 1
Install a video surveillance system in the store. It will help not only to minimize the number of thefts, but also to resolve emerging conflict situations. As a rule, professional thieves and kleptomaniacs are very knowledgeable about the basic tricks that can be used to bypass any security system. But if there are a lot of cameras, and surveillance is carried out in good faith, it will be much more difficult for thieves to eat a product on the trading floor, put an item in a bag or tear off a tag from a product.
Step 2
Install turnstiles or gates with detectors at the exit and store. In this case, all goods must be equipped with either magnetic chips or special alarm tags that are removed at the checkout. If it is impossible to remove a massive alarm from clothes manually, then many will cope with a thin chip. Complicate the process of removing the chip from the product. Place it inside the package, with an extra layer of film on top of it. The magnetic chip can be hidden inside some goods, such as books or discs. At the same time, he will generally be invisible to the buyer at first sight.
Step 3
Contact a reputable security agency. Its employees will not only ensure the safety of your store associated with serious emergency situations (attacks, robberies), but also provide protection against petty theft. Security guards must necessarily act in a unified manner together with sellers and cashiers. All store personnel are required to be observant and try to prevent theft, and not just catch fraudsters. After all, it is very problematic to prove the fact of theft: a thief can refer to forgetfulness, negligence and simply evade responsibility.
