Warehouse security & logistics security for retail
Gatekeepers at truck airlocks, patrol services in logistics hubs, outbound goods checks and burglar alarm response — an unbroken protection chain across your supply chain.
Overview
Warehouse security & logistics security for retail
Logistics hubs, distribution centres and large-format retail sites are high-risk environments: significant goods value, many third-party interfaces (truck drivers, hauliers, cleaning staff), 24/7 operations and constant inventory turnover. Theft, shrinkage and security breaches cause six- to seven-figure annual losses — without structured security in place.
Sekuris staffs gatekeepers at truck airlocks, runs patrol duty across large warehouse and distribution areas, checks outbound goods and connects burglar and fire alarms to 24/7 alarm response and service hubs. We work with our clients' warehouse management systems (SAP EWM, Manhattan WMS) and document shrinkage incidents for insurance and compliance purposes.
Risks we address
Typical risks in logistics & retail
- 01
Shrinkage and internal theft
Inventory discrepancies and systematic shrinkage cost retail billions annually. Structured exit controls, randomised bag checks (in agreement with the works council) and video review measurably reduce shrinkage.
- 02
Truck theft and seal tampering
Cargo theft, seal manipulation and unauthorised truck unloading are classic logistics risks. Gatekeepers with seal verification, supervised loading and digital truck manifests close the gap.
- 03
Fire and technical faults in high-bay warehouses
High-bay warehouses and automated distribution centres are extremely sensitive to fire, water ingress and power outages. Fire safety watches, technical patrols and connecting building management to alarm response hubs prevent cascading damage.
- 04
Security gaps during e-commerce peaks
Black Friday, Christmas and seasonal peaks bring 2–3× truck frequency, seasonal staff and pressure on security infrastructure. Sekuris scales gatekeeping and patrol frequency flexibly — without subcontractor fill-ins.
Regulation
Regulatory framework
Security in logistics and retail follows §34a GewO and the Guarding Regulation; pharmaceutical and food logistics add GDP requirements (Good Distribution Practice). Insurers (Allianz, Gerling, Munich Re) demand structured protection concepts with audit-ready documentation, or coverage falls away in major loss events.
- §34a GewO and Guarding Regulation as legal basis
- GDP requirements for pharma and food logistics
- TAPA FSR (Trucking Security Requirements) for high-value logistics
- Insurer requirements for high-bay and distribution facilities
- GDPR-compliant video surveillance with works council alignment
