Keeping You and Your Business Safe and Secure



Although the rates for burglary have decreased 2.2% as of 2011, burglary incidents are still largely prevalent in the United States. What can we do to help keep our companies and our homes safe? Most people get some kind of security system, either a dog or an alarm system. But if the thought of having someone able to see what you are doing throughout the day makes you feel uncomfortable then there is a solution. You could install your own cameras outside of your house or place of business. Today we are going to tell you why it is important in this day and age to secure your investments and how we can help you do just that.


Burglars could break into your office at any time before you have time to react. The point of a security system is to help you be better prepared for an attack before it happens and to warn burglars that they will likely get caught if they choose to break into your office. With the growing use of computers in offices holding important documents and company records, it is important for you to secure your company in any way possible. Although, we cannot always protect ourselves from hackers or other online thievery, we can at least try to keep our physical location safe from criminals on the ground.

Burglars can also break into your home at any time, even when you are there. The reasons for securing your home are endless. Homes are constantly being broken into and a lot burglars are never caught causing them to continue this illegal activity. Burglars are fast and could easily get away if there is no security system in place. Some burglars are also not afraid to get what they want by any means possible. 
They can inflict harm on you if you are at home, and/or any pets you have guarding your home. According to homesecurityfacts.com you are 3 times less likely to be broken into if you have a home security system. So do not let your possessions be stolen and your house vandalized. There are ways to keep yourself and your family protected and away from dangerous criminals. 




With the growing use of technology, comes the increase in misuse of that technology. In order to better protect your home or business, you might find that it is best to install your own security system rather than feel like another company is invading your privacy.

How Much Cash Do You Have locked down in Inventory?

In these times when cash can be hard to come by for most businesses it is as important as ever to have an inventory program that gives you as much cash flexibility as possible. Still many companies continue to operate on the “got to buy volume to get best price” mentality. This purchasing path takes a company into Cell Block NEOC – Not Enough Operating Capital.



Why be prisoner to vendors that make you produce in volumes equal to your annual uses? Have you considered your cash is locked into parts sitting on shelves at your facility? What about the parts that you don’ t sell? You know a discounted sale is coming for those bad boys.

When you take into consideration all the expenses related to mass production or high volume buying the payoff really does not make any sense. I mean, if you can buy high volume and move the product that is great. But too many companies are buying too much product because of the imaginary pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.


Think about it – so you pay 25% more per part on a $5 part because you bought 500 pieces instead of 2,500 pieces. That is an extra $625 over the 500-piece lot. Now let’s say that you move 500 pieces in 3 months so it would take you 15 months to move the 2,500. If you purchase the 2,500 pieces then you will lock up $2500 for an extra 3 months, $2500 for an extra 6 months, $2500 for an extra 9 months and $2500 for an extra 12 months. Total cash lock down over the initial 3 months is $10,000. Total lock down over the 1-year period is $5,000. All for $625 per quarter?



How much is it worth to have cash available when you need it? Good night sleeps for 3 months is way more valuable than $625. So what is the solution? Buy in lower quantities. Buy from a trusted supplier that speaks your language and can be reached when you need them. Buy where you are making the greatest impact for your own company and your neighbors. Buy right Here – in the USA. It is the best place to buy!
