The loss of equipment as a result of a burglary often has adverse effects on one's business operations. If you have comprehensive insurance, equipment can be replaced and regular back-ups will ensure that little in the form of information is lost. However, many fail to realise that there is a likelihood of losing clients due to the inability to complete projects on time. Replacing equipment takes time and in an industry where time is money, one cannot afford to spend even a few days not producing.
It is for this reason that Transaction Control Technologies (TCT), local distributors of Smokecloak, believe that a security solution should not only secure staff, premises and equipment, but should also be determined by the economic rewards that they offer.
Smokecloak is an active theft prevention device. This means that once an intrusion is detected, either through an existing alarm system or a panic button, the Smokecloak machine springs into action by emitting a dense white vapour into the protected area. Within a few seconds visibility is drastically reduced, literally making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's eyes. The smoke emitted by the machine is completely harmless to both humans and sensitive equipment, leaves no residue, does not affect breathing in any manner and can even be used in restaurants.
Gas masks are useless as there is zero visibility. In addition, the unique cloaksensor monitors the density of the vapour thereby ensuring that visibility remains nil until help arrives. It is a known fact that criminals only need a few minutes to steal goods and make a clean getaway - often leaving the vicitm to pick up the pieces. However, from countless installations in more than 50 countries worldwide, experience has shown that, when confronted by the billowing cloud of smoke, intruders tend to make a quick escape.
Rental option
TCT is now offering the Smokecloak system on a rental option from as little as R360 per month. Your company can be protected against crippling losses due to theft. Furthermore, by choosing the leasing option, there are a few economic advantages including:
* A rental is considered as an operating expense and is therefore fully tax-deductible.
* The VAT on the rental is regarded as an input tax and may be set off against any output tax collected.
* As no deposits are required, rentals offer a lower cost entry level, therefore reducing the use of working capital.
Insurance companies are willing to reward customers who take additional measures to protect themselves and TCT will be able to negotiate a discounted insurance premium.
