Warehouse Security

Unfortunately, thousands of dollars worth of inventory is lost or stolen because of theft from either outside sources or employees. Companies have experienced loss because of vandalism, theft, or hazards. The benefit of a security system is the peace of mind gained because of constant monitoring of the warehouse and its inventory. The use of security systems is more cost effective than many believe it to be, and loss can be prevented or mitigated by taking advantage of a variety of options.

Several Methods of Security

A good method of monitoring inventory loss is through the use of an inventory management system that utilizes an internal software system that integrates a myriad of scanning and voice controlled tracking methods, which employs part numbers or SKUs.

Close circuit television is another method that will allow you to monitor individuals and activities that are in the warehouse. Supervisors and managers have the capability of monitoring several areas from a remote location. This option can allow you to capture and archive the information for future reference. There is a wide scope of video conferencing systems to accommodate a wide variety of needs and price range.

Do your homework when researching a security system. A good company will provide you a consultant that works with you to create a system that are suitable and cost efficient to meet your needs. Make sure the security company is licensed, has a good reputation, and to get three or four quotes from different vendors.
