What’s your LP budget—and is it finally working as hard as you do?

I’ve seen that the best LP managers don’t just manage shrink—they invest in tools that make their life easier and their team stronger. That’s why they’re laser-focused on:
🔍 Spending where it counts—not just to look busy, but to actually reduce loss.
📊 Matching spend to real risk—because a $500K store losing 2% to shrink isn’t just bleeding money, it’s bleeding confidence and trust.
🔄 Backing tools that work together—like CCTV, EAS, and access control that don’t just tick boxes, but talk to each other and to you.
🤝 Bringing leadership along for the ride—because the best results come when everyone is invested in LP as a shared responsibility.
What I’ve noticed: the most effective budgets don’t come from a bigger spend—they come from smarter choices.
If your budget hasn’t moved beyond “just enough,” maybe it’s time to ask: What’s the real cost of playing it safe—versus investing to get ahead?
