What is shrinkage in retail, and how does it impact my business?

Shrinkage refers to the loss of inventory due to factors such as shoplifting, internal theft, operational errors, and damage to merchandise. It can significantly impact your profit margins, potentially costing retailers millions annually.

How can surveillance systems help reduce shrink in my retail store?

Surveillance systems act as a deterrent against theft and help identify potential theft incidents. By monitoring store activities in real-time, you can detect suspicious behavior, reduce internal theft, and ensure compliance with operational procedures.

What features should I look for in a surveillance system for loss prevention?

Key features to consider include high-resolution video quality, 360-degree coverage, night vision capabilities, remote access, cloud storage, and advanced analytics that can identify patterns in theft or suspicious behaviors.

How does investing in a surveillance system fit into a broader loss prevention strategy?

While surveillance systems are vital for monitoring and deterrence, they should be part of a comprehensive loss prevention strategy that includes employee training, inventory management practices, cash handling procedures, and customer engagement initiatives.

Will implementing a surveillance system create a better shopping experience for customers?

Absolutely. A visible surveillance presence can deter theft, creating a safer environment for both customers and employees. Additionally, by reducing shrinkage, you can maintain competitive pricing and better inventory availability.

How do I ensure that my surveillance system complies with privacy laws?

It’s essential to understand local laws regarding surveillance and customer privacy. Work with legal counsel and ensure that your surveillance practices are transparent to customers—such as visible signage indicating the presence of cameras.

What maintenance and support services do you offer?

LVT Units feature built-in IT support and self-monitoring capabilities through the cloud-based platform. The system actively monitors unit health and performance, sending instant alerts when maintenance is needed, while the solar-powered design and remote monitoring capabilities minimize the need for physical inspections. Users can access support features and surveillance streams from any device, eliminating concerns about data storage, security, or routine maintenance requirements.

How does LVT's surveillance system specifically address shrinkage?

LVT’s surveillance system incorporates advanced analytics and AI technology to proactively identify suspicious behavior, alert management to potential theft events, and streamline inventory management processes, all of which contribute to reducing shrinkage.
