In 2023, the value of retail theft was forecast to reach £7.9 billion, with 40% of this value attributed to employee theft.

Retail Use Cases

Chatting at Warehouse

Inventory Rooms

With e-Track electronic key cabinets, retailers can ensure that only authorised staff have access to inventory rooms. This reduces the risk of theft, mishandling, or unauthorised stock movements. Employees can easily log key transactions, providing managers with a clear record of who accessed inventory areas and when.

Office Worker

Cash Offices

Security is paramount in cash handling areas. e-Track electronic key cabinets limit access to these sensitive locations, ensuring that only approved personnel can enter. This mitigates risks of theft, unauthorised handling, or potential tampering with cash reserves, while maintaining a complete log of access events for audits.

Store Manager

Store Management

Managers often juggle multiple responsibilities, including overseeing store security and operations. e-Track systems allow managers to delegate access to keys without compromising control. For example, store managers can assign temporary access to specific staff members during shift changes, emergencies, or special events, enhancing both flexibility and security.

Delivery Van

Delivery Areas

Retail stores often require external contractors for maintenance or deliveries. By providing controlled, time-limited access to these professionals through e-Track electronic key cabinets, retailers can ensure that keys are returned promptly and access is restricted to designated areas only.

Future-Proofing Retail Security

As the retail industry continues to evolve, adopting advanced key management solutions like e-Track electronic key cabinets positions businesses for success. By prioritising security, efficiency, and accountability, retailers can protect their assets and focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences.
