Optimize Loss Prevention Programs to Shrink Shrinkage, Grow Profits

Retailers are losing $60 billion a year to shrinkage, according to a Retail Knowledge report cited by Forbes. Reduce loss and bolster a proactive employee presence with constant communication by using two-way radio solutions from BearCom. Our low-price-point options can prevent theft and act as a deterrent to future criminal activity by helping staff discreetly communicate between themselves, notify management, or alert security when there are suspicious individuals or behavior.

Many believe that loss prevention relates only to the retail sector. Make no mistake: Every business has the potential for loss, no matter how big or small. Goods can disappear due to theft, inventory can be misplaced because of poor team communications, property can be damaged or vandalized, and liability can increase if safety and health issues aren’t addressed quickly.

Our easy-to-deploy and easy-to-operate two-way radios offer a big return on investment for any organizations concerned with preserving assets and protecting inventory, property, and people. In many cases, cost avoidance and increases in productivity more than pay back the minimal investment for radios in a short amount of time.

LOSS PREVENTION Solutions in Retail

Push-to-talk business radios provide a secure and discreet method of communication among your workforce. This allows teams to mobilize quickly without tipping off offenders or disrupting your customers’ shopping experience. For example, two-way radios can enable employees to report an incident discreetly through a spoken message or a single pre-programmed alert button. With digital radios that have a display, staff can even send a silent text message. Push-to-talk devices allow your staff to collaborate using Private Message, All Call, or setting up specific Call Groups for security, management, cashiers, and more.

Strong Two-Way Radio Programs from BearCom Allow Retailers to:

• Identify potential shoplifters so staff can respond to prevent loss or be on the lookout if they return.
• Address suspicious behavior and notify management if disruptive individuals are chasing off paying customers.
• Take action sooner if careless customers or vandals begin to damage merchandise and fixtures.
• Gain better control over internal shrink.
• Enhance customer and employee safety.
• Respond instantly across the store if there is a lost child incident, medical emergency, or weather alert.

COST AVOIDANCE Benefits for Other Organizations

Better communication strategies improve asset management, increase safety and security, save money, and increase revenue. When your team communicates and collaborates more effectively, there’s less chance that goods will disappear, inventory will be misplaced, maintenance will be delayed, or hazardous situations will go unattended; all of which makes your Risk Management Team extremely happy! For instance:

Inventory/Goods Management: If a worker is uncertain where to stock materials, they can radio for instructions where to store things so they can be found again.

Maintenance Alerts: If water is gushing from a leaking pipe or equipment is malfunctioning, the faster repairs are made, the less damage occurs and the less utility costs run up.

Reduce Liability: When a worker discovers a hazard, they can radio for assistance and stay in place to warn others who may approach the danger area.

Personal Safety: The benefits of two-way radios to improve team collaboration, fix problems quickly, and summon help can prevent worker’s comp claims and reduce customer and visitor injuries.
