Retail theft prevention with Checkpoint Systems

May 26, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

I’ve learned after working a few years in retail theft prevention that shoplifters come in all shapes and sizes. They are all ages, all backgrounds, and all classes of people. I’ve also learned that while some are obvious as to what their intentions are when they enter your business, others have learned to blend in and do their work virtually undetected. Your shrink dollars and unaccounted for merchandise tells you that they have been there – but you are only left reeling in their wake.

Anti shoplifting devices such as Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags can help deter these shoplifters when you might not otherwise be able to. A business can be fully staffed and still employees can miss the tell-tale signs of a potential shoplifter. Or that shoplifter might just be well rehearsed with his or her technique for stealing. With retail anti theft devices such as Checkpoint security systems, your merchandise itself can protect your assets and increase your profits.

Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags can be affixed to your high ticket and high theft merchandise. With Checkpoint systems in place, your merchandise can essentially defend itself. The sneaky shoplifter who might otherwise steal from you will reconsider when they see that you have invested in retail theft prevention measures. Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels are nearly impossible to remove without a key from the register and will sound a loud alarm when they leave your store without being removed. This is certainly attention that potential shoplifters don’t want.

Any person who walks into your business could be a shoplifter. They aren’t all shoplifters, but there are more than you might suspect. By utilizing anti shoplifting options such as Checkpoint systems, you can let the retail anti theft devices do the work of reducing the shrink and loss experienced at the hands of these people.

Checkpoint Systems: The New Frontier

May 19, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Checkpoint security systems have come a long way since their humble beginnings in Philadelphia. You might not know this but Checkpoint Systems was originally designed for libraries and it wasn’t until later that they became the retail anti theft devices that you know today.

A Philadelphia library was having a problem with patrons leaving the building with books that they had not checked out. This was causing a significant amount of loss of books and ultimately money. Checkpoint systems realized that something needed to be done and designed a contraption that used RF (radio frequency) energy to detect Checkpoint tags that had been placed inside the library books.

The original Checkpoint security systems looked similar to the metal detectors that you have to walk through at the airport. With advancements in technology, came smaller and better antennas. These are probably the ones you are most familiar with. I still see this style of Checkpoint security system antennas or Checkpoint labels on clothing in television shows and movies.

As well as the “legacy” equipment worked, there was always one constant flaw. The Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels would pickup differently depending on how they were facing. If the tag were facing sideways or horizontal it would be detected better than if it were forward facing. This would cause a gap or a hole in the system making it easier for items to leave the premises without being detected.

With the release of the new Evolve antennas, this problem was finally resolved. The Checkpoint security systems Evolve antenna is designed with 360 degree rotating detection field. This means that when tagged items go through the retail anti theft devices, they will be equally detected no matter which way they are facing. This new design truly is a game changer. With the use of an Evolve Checkpoint security system, preventing loss just got a whole lot easier.

Checkpoint Systems “For Dummies” (part III)

May 13, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Knowing where to place these Checkpoint labels is key. If the label does not pass through the deactivation field they will not be deactivated. The general rule of thumb is to place any Checkpoint labels near or under the barcode. This is why Checkpoint systems offers such a wide variety of thermal transfer labels that allow the end user to print their barcodes directly on the tag itself. It is vital that cashiers and anyone else who will be responsible for this task be properly trained on how to scan an item to ensure the tag has been deactivated. When the system is installed the technician should discuss the size and location of the deactivation field because it is invisible. Also, there is a device that can be purchased that can be used to identify the parameters of the field.

Because Checkpoint labels are made from a coil of metal on a sticker, they should not be placed on metal surfaces. This will make the tag go unnoticed by Checkpoint security systems. Also, you will want to keep the label on a flat surface. When a label is bent it will cause the label to change its “queue” or frequency and decrease the chance that it will alarm the Checkpoint security systems.

Understanding how a Checkpoint security system functions and how it should be properly used will tremendously help your effort to stop shoplifting and might save you a few headaches along the way. Remember, a Checkpoint security system can do an excellent job preventing shoplifters from hurting your bottom line but it is only one weapon in an arsenal of loss prevention devices and techniques.

Checkpoint Systems “For Dummies” (part II)

May 9, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

There is the possibility of a Checkpoint security system going into alarm without someone actually stealing something. This is because Checkpoint systems are tuned and manufactured to alarm when they see 8.2 MHz. While it is a unique frequency, many things in an environment can produce, if only for a moment, the frequency the system is trying to receive. Let’s go back to the analogy of the radio in your car. Sometimes when you are driving and you pass underneath the big high voltage power lines or a semi-truck passes you, you will here static on your radio. The same is true for Checkpoint security systems. “Static” on occasion could cause a system to false alarm but instead of it being high voltage power lines it could be the vibration in the electric door.

Checkpoint labels are made up of a coil of metal specifically designed to alarm Checkpoint security systems. Any merchandise that does not have Checkpoint labels attached to them will not alarm if stolen. I know this might seem silly to some people but there is an assumption by some that an electronic article surveillance system has the ability to “know” when an item has or has not been purchased. These Checkpoint systems are not integrated directly to the point of sale or use telepathy to determine whether or not an item has been properly purchased.

Once someone has placed Checkpoint labels on the merchandise of their choosing, that item will alarm the Checkpoint security system if not deactivated. The deactivation process takes place at the point of sale. What happens is a deactivation device is placed under the counter or inside the scanner of a cash register. This device emits an RF field similar to that of the Checkpoint security systems antennas at the front door. Unlike the field at the front, this field is significantly stronger but in a more confined space. When a label passes through the invisible field, the RF energy being created causes the coil of metal inside the label to be physically altered. Once this has taken place the Checkpoint labels are no longer at 8.2 MHz and will no longer alarm a Checkpoint security system.

Checkpoint Systems “For Dummies”

May 5, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

A Checkpoint security system is an excellent tool used by retailers around the world to help prevent shoplifting. It is a visual deterrent that causes most petty shoplifter to think twice about putting merchandise in their pocket. Also, Checkpoint systems alert employees if someone tries to leave the store with items that have not been purchased.

Checkpoint security systems create an RF (Radio Frequency) field around the antenna(s) that are located at exit points of a retail store. They also may be placed at any point a retailer decides they do not want merchandise that has not been purchased to go. The RF field works the same way as radio or cell phone towers. The closer you are to them the stronger the signal will be. This means that the closer the Checkpoint labels are to the antennas the better the pickup will be.

Checkpoint tags are tuned to a specific frequency that the Checkpoint security system is designed to recognize. This can be compared to a radio station’s number. When you turn the radio in to 97.5 F.M. you are telling your radio to receive the signal that is being transmitted by the radio tower that is broadcasting at 97.5 MHz. A Checkpoint security system does the same thing except it is at 8.2MHz.

This is where some retailer’s expectations become increasingly high. Although Checkpoint security systems do a fantastic job at detecting merchandise with Checkpoint labels, it is not 100 percent accurate by itself. Retailers cannot simply have someone install Checkpoint systems and expect the system to become their entire loss prevention department. This is true with any electronic article surveillance system.

In his stores, he trained the store staff on the proper placement of checkpoint labels and how properly placing these checkpoint labels, it would protect the merchandise and help boost sales. As part of the checkpoint systems program, my boss also followed up with the stores management team to ensure they knew the facts about the system, and were also familiar with the checkpoint labels, how they worked and what to do when the system is activated. He went so far as to tear apart new checkpoint labels to show the management team how the tags worked and what made them effective.
