You can't afford not to protect yourself!

Eric Zwingel

Statistics have shown that internal and external theft can cost you dearly.

For example, $15 million dollars a day is lost in the US restaurant industry alone due to theft according to the National Restaurant Association. The US Department of Justice reports that $446 million dollars is lost from businesses due to robberies each year.

If you grew up in the Midwest, as I did, you tend to think that these issues don’t apply to us. I would like you to sit down for the evening news and take a look at all the crime that is reported on a nightly basis. The same can apply by listening to your local radio stations. You may be a little disheartened by what you hear is happening in your area.

Although some of you have not been broken in to yet, don’t leave yourself unprotected. Chances are theft is already occurring at an internal level of your business. $20 billion dollars a year is lost due to internal theft in restaurants which is broken down to $74,000 per restaurant according to the National Restaurant Association and Restaurant Food Cost Association. This is not just a problem in the restaurant business; retail businesses suffer even heavier losses. 75% of employees report stealing from their company at least once during their tenure, and I can guarantee you if they can get away with it once they will most likely do it again.

Ignus Technologies would like to help you combat theft by providing you with a budget-friendly surveillance solution. Studies have shown that a video surveillance system can reduce theft by 53% in the first year. That is a $37,000 average saving to you! The money you will save by reducing internal theft as well as the insurance discounts you can receive will pay for the system over a short period of time. Ignus believes that the prevention of internal and external theft using video surveillance is a vital piece to your business.

The cost to protect yourself is significantly less than the cost to recover from losses.
