Deterring Theft at Your Warehouse

An area of concern for many warehouse managers is loss due to theft whether from internal problems or externally. Unfortunately, you may not consider the problem until it creeps up to you, because of the sheer shock of the loss that occurred and how it affects your profitability. In terms of theft, there are two ways that it happens from either the people who work within your organization or those that do not.

Loss due to theft costs organizations millions every year and a productive method of handling such issues is to install hidden as well as obvious cameras throughout the facility. Cameras mounted in obvious areas outside the facility are a good deterrent to protect the goods that may be stored outside the warehouse especially if you do not have fencing or live security to watch over the goods.

A method to address the theft issues within your warehouse is to use hidden cameras that will help with both theft issue as well as loss because of workers compensation injuries.
The initial expense may be a bit more than you would like to invest, but consider how that initial investment will save you over the long run in less loss because of theft and more profits in your pocket.
