Last year, retail stores in the United States lost an estimated $86.6 billion to theft, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF). The same report projects an increase to over $115 billion by 2025. Loss prevention is always top of mind for retailers. However, of growing concern is organized retail crime, which is increasing at an alarming rate. Brick-and-mortar retailers, many of which are already struggling, are now facing increased exposure.
When it comes to protecting retailers from an attack, a range of options from video systems to 24-hour security guards are often deployed. However, video security installations have typically focused on “inside the perimeter” protection and often lack the teeth needed to be a deterrent. That is changing with new mobile security trailers, loaded with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring capabilities which can greatly expand the scope of on-site security. Plus, these smart systems are also proving to add operational efficiencies.
