Intelligent Safe Technologies

Many retailers with high-value, off-the-shelf merchandise face the threat of on-premises robberies. Majority of stock is stored at the back of the store in a safe or vault out of view of customers. Criminals often break into the front of the store and remove the merchandise that is customer-facing, or make their way to the back of the facility and forcibly remove stock. In either event retailers experience traumatised staff (loss of productivity), dented bottom lines (loss of sales, customers and suboptimal operations) and higher insurance premiums (increased risk profiles after claiming). Unlike incumbent solutions, the Intelligent Safes, coupled with a specifi c insurance product, suffi ciently deter burglars from removing as much high-value merchandise as they can, resulting in a minimal loss of stock as well as a reduction in suboptimal operations and lower insurance premiums. The units also address limited storage space and typically high rental costs per square metre, as retailers do not always have multiple storage rooms or the capacity to install multiple security units at the back of their store.
