Retail businesses rely on the smooth movement of goods and people throughout the working day. Customers need to be able to enter and exit obstruction free, while deliveries and stock move seamlessly through your service entrances and to the shopfloor.
The right entrances optimize the flow in and out of your store
A successful business generates traffic and entrances need to be able to manage the volume of customers and goods your business handles at all hours of the day. Doors should open seamlessly when customers want to enter your store, but stay closed when people are just passing by – if they do not you not only risk hold-ups at your entrance but also the comfort of staff and customers inside your store.
Some of the issues congestion and hold ups cause:
- Customers choose to go elsewhere
- Stock supply is held up
- Employee focus on customer service is interrupted
A secure entrance protects stock and keeps staff and customers safe
Maintaining high levels of security is essential to protect your stock and prevent your store from suffering the preventable losses that hit stores every day – even out of hours. If your entrances are not secure enough, you could be putting your staff and customers at risk. And you could experience a greater number of opportunistic and organised thefts.
Common issues caused by insufficient security:
- Common issues caused by insufficient security:
- Increased risk of theft
- Avoidable injury to staff or customers
A reliable entrance to withstand occasional bumps
If something as common as the bump of a trolley causes a breakdown, you could find that your business is spending more time waiting for service than servicing customers. Whether they are delivery entrances, interior entrances or pedestrian entrances, all retail entrances need to be robust enough to withstand the bumps that deliveries and shoppers will inevitably bring – so you can get on with business without preventable hold ups.
Some of the avoidable issues caused by door breakdown:
- Unwanted downtime while doors are out of action
- Inability to serve customers, forcing them to shop elsewhere
- Expensive, unplanned service call-outs
