The retail and trade sector encompasses small local shops to large-scale transnational and multinational corporations. Regardless of size, all businesses in this sector depend on a reliable communications system. This is especially vital in larger locations with numerous staff on-site or expansive premises stocking a wide variety of products. For many, participating in a Shopwatch scheme further enhances communication by connecting businesses with each other and local authorities, helping to deter crime and improve overall safety.

Chat-Com has experience creating long-range digital radio networks for stopwatch and pub watch programs, including their work with the Yeovil Crime Reduction Team to develop a cohesive communications system. Linking Yeovil, Sherborne, and Chard to provide a daytime and night-time communications network linking shops, venues, district council, CCTV control rooms, hospitals, and police.

Operating a retail and/or trade site means that you are dealing with customers who are looking for rapid and efficient service. We can help you better serve them by installing a two-way radio communications system that enables them to quickly identify the availability and location of products without disappearing into storage rooms or warehouses, leaving them waiting for long periods. Extensive communication networks with other shops and district council workers provide workers with peace of mind, working as part of a community and instantly connected to notifications of security alerts and warnings.

Such systems are also invaluable in maintaining a safe working environment for staff members who work behind the scenes in warehouses or distribution centres or those who operate machinery and often work alone. A custom-made system that works for you and your business will ensure staff safety and well-being at all times, but it can also be the difference between a growing, successful business and one lagging behind its competitors.
