Theft in a retail store can be highly damaging to a business's bottom line. Missing cash from the register, merchandise disappearing off the shelves, and inventory shrinkage are all costly problems that can be remedied with the use of anti-theft devices.

These devices range from classic locking cash drawers to versatile anti-theft tablet stands.

Today, in the hope of helping you better protect your business, we'll be discussing some of the most effective anti-theft devices for retail stores that you can get at Volcora.

Cash Drawer

A robust Point of Sale (POS) system is critical for any retail business, but it's only one part of the puzzle. You also need to protect your cash drawer from would-be thieves. An effective way to do this is to invest in a locking cash drawer.

Most locking cash drawers come with a key or combination lock, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access the contents. Drawer status reporting is another feature to look for, as it allows you to see if the drawer has been left open.

When purchasing a locking cash drawer, be sure to choose one that is made from heavy-duty steel. It will deter thieves and stand up to wear and tear over time.

Anti-Theft Lockable Tablet Stand

Does the security of your store's tablets concern you? A lockable tablet stand is the perfect solution. These stands come with a built-in security cable that can be looped around a stationary object, like a table leg. Another lock on the bracket holds the tablet in place, so it can't be removed without the key.

Most lockable tablet stands also have a built-in charging port to keep your devices powered up and ready to use. And because they're designed for public use, they typically have tamper-resistant features.

Make sure you get a tablet stand with a 360-degree swivel base for easier use. This way, customers can view the screen from any angle.

Drop Safe

A drop safe is ideal to protect your store's cash and valuables from theft. Drop safes are designed to be mounted on the wall or bolted to the floor. It makes them difficult to move or tamper with. They typically have a drop slot on the top, so you can deposit cash and valuables without opening the safe.

These drop-safe boxes have an electronic lock that can be programmed with a code. They also have an emergency key override in case you forget the code.

Some drop safes come with an alarm that sounds when the safe is opened without the proper code. It's a valuable feature, as it can deter thieves and alert you to a possible break-in.

5 Compartment Cash Box

You'll probably have bills of different denominations in your cash drawer, as well as coins. A 5-compartment cash box allows you to organize your money so you can easily make a change.

It has five sections for bills and a removable tray for coins. The sections can be labelled with the dollar amount, so you can quickly grab the bills you need. The cash box also has a locking lid to keep your money secure.

Since cash is one of the most common items stolen in retail stores, this cash box offers more than 900 possible combinations for convenient without-key access. It's also curated to be lightweight and small for easy portability.
