Case Study: Canadian Tire reduces shrinkage by 50% with Verkada integrated security

How a Canadian Retail Chain Integrated Video Security and Access Control to Reduce Shrinkage By 50%

Canadian Tire, a growing Canadian retail chain, was struggling with product shrinkage, access-management headaches, and liability risk at its downtown Hamilton location. Franchise Dealer Adam Roseneck relied on an aging DVR-based security setup with no remote access and limited reliability, while also juggling multiple keys, door codes, and unsecured entry points across the store and service center.

To address these issues, Canadian Tire implemented Verkada’s integrated video security and cloud-based access control platform, combining cameras, door schedules, role-based permissions, and mobile/web monitoring in one system. With Verkada, the store reduced shrinkage by 50%, added $60,000+ in annual profitability, improved visibility across doors and aisles, and sped up incident review and evidence sharing from hours to seconds.
