How A Spectur Building Site Security Camera Could Save Your Job wren
In Australia, Loss Prevention Managers have a tricky job. Huge sites with multifaceted operations make fulfilling your contractual responsibilities more important than ever. On sites worth millions, the stakes are high and LPM’s often end up wearing many hats to get the job done.
The bottom line is that ensuring your preventable loss levels remain low means paying attention to a wide range of business activities at the same time. From monitoring staff practice to keeping an eye on supplier deliveries, to ensuring the security of the site from external threats. Frankly, there are hundreds of outside forces that can cause shrinkage – whether it’s deliberate or not.
Changes In The Loss Prevention Industry Have Increased Competition
Ever-tightening budgets mean that Loss Prevention Managers who don’t stay within acceptable loss levels face the prospect of re-entering a competitive job market. One where even those with years of experience are pushed to perform far beyond historic industry standards. The market simply isn’t the same as it used to be, so LPM’s need to step up now with cost-effective ways to meet contractual expectations.
Multiple, cloud-based, building site security cameras are the answer. They literally give you eyes in the back of your head and make the monitoring of sites as easy as logging in remotely for real-time viewing of as many remote or targeted areas as you like. For project or construction site managers, this means minimal loss and maximum profit. It’s the ideal formula for protecting both your current job and your name in the industry.
It’s Time To Stop Reacting And Start Responding
The worst situation for a Loss Prevention Manager is to be stuck in a rut of establishing policies after the fact. The better option is to stop reacting and respond first with procedures that will vastly reduce the initial opportunity for loss. If you already have cameras on site, this means checking you have the right setup and assessing whether your current system contributes to the red or the black. Some situations you may not have considered are the potential loss of footage due to outdated sleep mode settings. Cameras can sometimes take minutes to become operational in this instance, meaning you miss incidents. The other culprit is poor positioning. Traditional mains-reliant systems tend to use bulky wiring which restricts placement leaving blind spots in your operation.
On the other hand, if you don’t have building site security cameras and you’re logging unnecessary shrinkage, then you’ve immediately got a very persuasive argument for investment in the right system to bring your numbers back on form. Before you make a decision it’s important to ensure you choose a security camera that won’t fail you. Many Loss Prevention Managers have had what they thought were wise investments foiled by security camera industry cheapskates. Make sure you don’t make the same error by checking out our tips for avoiding common purchase mistakes.
