Physical security has become one of the most pressing issues for retailers, especially in high-traffic environments, including retail malls, free-standing brick-and-mortar stores, and franchises. A recent Avery Dennison report confirms what many in the industry already know—theft is the number one business concern, followed by improved staff efficiency.
Staffing shortages make security even harder to manage. With fewer employees available to monitor environments in real-time, stores become more vulnerable, especially during off-peak hours or in back-of-house areas.
As crime grows retailers are exploring high-tech solutions. AI cameras are top considerations for security, alongside traditional tools like security guards.
