Asset Tracking · Retail
Asset Tracking for retail sites.
Asset tracking that flags unauthorised removals at the gate and surfaces idle or missing kit before it costs you. Purpose-built for the regulatory and operational realities of retail.
The Salvus Network tracks tools, plant, vehicles, laptops and containers with a Tag on every asset across your whole site. Anchors at gates and key thresholds detect when an asset leaves without authorisation and raise an alert the instant it happens. Stale Tags — kit that hasn't been read in days — are surfaced so nothing quietly disappears. The result is less shrinkage, faster location of shared equipment, and a defensible record of what left site, when and with whom. For retail operators, this means retail teams face record levels of violence and abuse, often while working alone at opening, closing or in stockrooms — and shrinkage from theft and misplaced stock quietly erodes margin. The Salvus Network gives shop-floor and back-of-house staff a Tag that raises a located duress alert, reads high-value stock and equipment at Anchors around the stockroom and service doors, and delivers a fast, accurate staff muster if the store or centre has to be cleared. You protect your people, cut the losses you can't see, and evidence a duty of care that boards and insurers increasingly ask for.

Regulatory alignment
Evidence for the audit trail.
Employers owe retail workers a clear duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to assess and control the risks of lone working and of violence — a duty sharpened by the wave of assaults on retail workers and the tougher stance now taken against them. Fire safety in stores, malls and back-of-house areas falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, requiring workable evacuation plans and staff who know their role. Larger retail venues open to the public also come within scope of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (Martyn's Law). Where loss prevention meets data, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and physical-security good practice expect controlled access to areas holding payment infrastructure and cardholder data. The Salvus Network supports the physical-access and audit side of that picture — restricting and logging entry to server rooms, cash offices and stockrooms — while its core job remains keeping staff safe and stock accounted for.
