Retail Safety
Without Limits
Visible uniformed guarding, loss prevention, CCTV, access control and tactical unit response — deployed across retail environments from single stores to major shopping centres.
Retail Shrinkage
Is Not A Small
Problem.
The South African retail sector loses an estimated R18 billion annually to shrinkage — shoplifting, employee theft, administrative error and supplier fraud. For the average South African retailer, shrinkage represents up to 2% of turnover — every rand of which comes directly from the bottom line, not from the customer.
Visible, trained security presence — combined with AI CCTV, access control and tactical unit backup — is the only intervention proven to reduce shrinkage at scale. PT Alarms provides all of it.
Every Retail
Environment Covered
Multi-entrance, multi-tenant shopping centres require layered security — uniformed guards at entries, plainclothes loss prevention on the floor, CCTV monitoring, access control to back-of-house and tactical unit response on standby.
High-shrinkage environments where both customer theft and employee theft require active intervention. Visible guarding at entrances and exits, loss prevention in-aisle and CCTV with AI analytics for behaviour detection.
Drive-through and counter service environments — cash security, entry management and tactical unit response for late-night trading.
Distribution centres, receiving areas and back-of-house — where the majority of employee theft occurs. Access control, CCTV and guarding.
High-risk late-night and early-morning trading environments — armed guards, CCTV and panic button tactical response.
Every Layer.
Nothing Missed.
A single layer of security is never enough in retail. PT Alarms provides every layer — from the uniformed guard at the door to the tactical unit vehicle two minutes away.
