If you lose your product through shoplifting or employee theft or a combination of the two having your merchandise stolen will sharply cut into your profit and not make your day. American Retail Supply is dedicated to helping you to Sell more, lose less, and protect your investment.
Employee theft accounts approximately 1/3rd of all loss in a typical retail store according to the NRTA and other sources. While employers like to believe that their employees are honest, employee theft is a huge problem. There is no logical reason to conclude that employee theft is not a problem at your store.
Electronic article surveillance (EAS) is an efficient way to reduce shoplifting at your store. EAS tags or labels are attached to commonly stolen items. These tags are deactivated or removed at the point of sale. If the tags/labels are not removed antennas at the exit (or restroom) will sound alerting the staff and the shoplifter.

One news article that caught my eye was in our hometown of Seattle from Q13 Fox "The last suspect wanted in bold ‘smash and grab’ was rather upsetting. In a few minutes, the criminals got away with over $250,000 worth of Rolexes. Rather amusing part is while searching his home in Mountlake Terrace, police say they also found a to-do list.
