A proactive approach to mitigating loss

The best way to reduce retail loss is to prevent it from happening in the first place. That’s why we help our clients take a 360-degree view of their security needs. There are two main steps we urge our clients to take that will help prevent incidences of theft both internally and externally. One is by building stronger relationships with workers to reduce turnover and minimize the likelihood of internal theft. The other is training staff to provide high-touch customer service that sends a message to would-be thieves that you’re on the lookout and will catch those who leave the store without paying for merchandise.
