Anti shoplifting efforts aren’t on most retailers minds as they plan how they are going to arrange, display, and present their merchandise in the most inviting way they can to increase sales. They are only forced to think about it when their shrink figures –the difference between book inventory and physical inventory – has become so large that it threatens the business’s profitability. Then the reaction, after they realize that you can’t waterboard a shoplifter, is to take every anti shoplifting measure possible to drive the thieves away.
Awareness on the part of each employee is the first step of the anti shoplifting scenario. The idea that there are shoplifters stealing the business has to become part of everyone’s daily thought. This comes through training, training, and constant reinforcement of ways to control shoplifting.
Without going overboard, an EAS system by Checkpoint Security Systems goes a long way toward easing the mind of a retailer whose shoplifting problems have gone beyond the annoyance stage. Checkpoint Systems has designed a device that uses RF (Radio Frequency) to detect merchandise that has Checkpoint security labels and Checkpoint tags attached as it passes out the door.
Either genuine Checkpoint security tags or Checkpoint labels will protect high-risk merchandise that is susceptible to loss because it is popular, expensive, or pilferable. Checkpoint tags are attached to the merchandise by a pin that can only be removed with a detacher that is available at the point of sale. The Checkpoint security tags are reusable and can be used over and over. They cannot be easily removed without the detacher.
The Checkpoint labels are adhesive and used by attaching them to the merchandise or concealing them in the merchandise packaging. When the merchandise with Checkpoint tags or labels attached passes near the Checkpoint Systems antenna, the antenna detects the device and emits an alarm, alerting the staff to address the situation.
A Checkpoint Security System deters shoplifters by its presence since shoplifters know the risk of detection goes up considerably with the presence of merchandise that is protected by Checkpoint security tags and Checkpoint labels. The use of a Checkpoint Security Systems also reinforces the anti shoplifting mindset that retailers want to encourage in their stores.
