Shipping, receiving and storage

"A commercial building is a building that is used for commercial use. Types can include office buildings, warehouses, or retail (i.e. convenience stores, 'big box' stores, shopping malls, etc.). In urban locations, a commercial building often combines functions, such as an office on levels 2-10, with retail on floor 1. Local authorities commonly maintain strict regulations on commercial zoning, and have the authority to designate any zoned area as such. A business must be located in a commercial area or area zoned at least partially for commerce." [Commercial building. Wikipedia]

"Preventing Theft from Warehouses.
The biggest threat to warehouses is collusion between two dishonest people - one inside the warehouse who is employed by you, and another person outside. Your warehouse is vulnerable in different ways at each step of the handling of merchandise. Below, we've broken this process down into three major steps: receiving, storage, and shipping."

"Storage.
The trucks have been unloaded and everything put away on the shelves in the warehouse. Now your merchandise is even more vulnerable to thieves than before.
There are two main elements of a good security plan:
1) Keep people out of areas where they don't belong...
2) Keep track of what goods are supposed to be in your warehouse" [crimeprevention.rutgers.edu/ crime/ emp_ theft/ warehouses/ storage/ storage.htm]
