Asset protection is a critical concern for retailers who must safeguard their inventory, equipment, and other assets from theft, damage, and other forms of loss. To accomplish this, retailers turn to advanced technologies to identify and respond to asset protection threats in real-time.

This enables the retailer to optimize their equipment usage and maintenance processes. Thus, ensuring that equipment is available when and where it is needed. It also ensures that maintenance issues are identified and addressed in a timely manner. As a result, it minimizes downtime and confirms that equipment is operating at optimal efficiency.
Incident Response
