August 4, 2006-Minding the store - From Anywhere
By Tracie Stone
When Brian Smith informs business owners
that nearly 50 percent of their inventory shrinkage can be attributed to
internal theft, they listen.
Quoting findings from national studies,
Smith - a self-proclaimed technogeek who developed a passion for digital
surveillance while working for a friend's company - offers frightening
statistics with authority. According to him, 82 percent of inventory
shrinkage in convenience stores is due to employee theft.
"It just boggled my mind when I
first heard these numbers," he said.
According to a National Retail Security
Survey of 118 of the largest U.S.retail chains, conducted by experts at
the University of Florida, retailers lose over $31 billion annually to
inventory shrinkage. Employee theft accounts for 48.5 percent of this,
or $15.1 billion. Shoplifting is attributable to an additional 32
percent, or $9.7 billion.
Now owner of Digital Surveillance
Consultants, it's Smith's business to be aware of security concerns
plaguing area business owners. It's also his business to know how best
to address those concerns. READ
