Checkpoint security systems have been around for years. Many companies use Checkpoint security systems to help protect merchandise. However, just as many companies using Checkpoint security systems are not using them properly or as effectively as they could.

Checkpoint security systems are for the benefit of the merchant. Protecting their profits, merchandise, employees… all of their assets, are their main function. Yet I have seen many instances where a checkpoint security system has gone unused or checkpoint labels left lying around backrooms and receiving areas. This drives me nuts. I see these examples sometimes even in stores I supervise. As a manager, how can you let an investment like checkpoint systems go unnoticed?

Just the other day, I walked a store that had poor inventory results. The store is now on our target store program for high shrink. In developing a shrink action plan for the store, I spoke with the store manager about tools or ideas he felt could benefit him and his store. He told me he needs help to shoplifting. I asked what kinds of tools he thinks he needs to stop shoplifting. He says, ideally, he’d like someone to stand at the front of the store and let him know of a potential shoplifter. I asked him what the person should do if he finds a shoplifter. The manager replies “let me or my other managers know”.

Ok, so this guy is a little out of it. A checkpoint security system has been installed in his store for over 2 years. He has been equipped with Checkpoint labels and checkpoint tags. These checkpoint labels and checkpoint tags have been sitting in his backroom unused for quite some time.

Could his checkpoint security system have helped control his high shrink number? Absolutely. Had this manager executed the checkpoint security system program the way it was designed to work, the inventory results certainly would have turned out differently.

Checkpoint systems are designed to send the shoplifter down the street…maybe to your competitor who is not protected!

Checkpoint security systems have been integral part of a stores loss prevention program for many years. The benefits of such as system can be measured daily by simply tracking the activations of the antennae and recording shoplift apprehensions.

Checkpoint security systems have helped my company tremendously. In a heavy customer traffic location, several of my stores deter customer theft daily by simply having a checkpoint security system in place. I hear managers in praise of these Checkpoint security systems and learn their stories of the attempted shoplifter deterred by the mere sight of the checkpoint security system.

Adding Checkpoint systems to your store(s) is a relatively inexpensive way to protect your merchandise. In my opinion, in the long the run, the investment into checkpoint systems pays for itself. I can’t tell you the number of times I have heard or seen the checkpoint systems activate, a former shoplifter dropping the merchandise and fleeing from the store. It happens. Daily.

Properly executing a Checkpoint security system involves the process of attaching Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags. Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags are tough devices that cannot easily be defeated by the would-be thief. It is well know that shoplifters thrive off of environments where they are not acknowledged. They wanna walk into a store, select the merchandise of choice and walk out of the store virtually unidentifiable. Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags take away that privacy and take the shoplifter from covert to overt. In the retail world, it makes no sense to me to see retailers without this form of protection. In a way, I say, good. The shoplifters coming into my store(s) and seeing the protection will deter them and send them over to the unprotected stores.

My advice to anyone without a Checkpoint Security system, INVEST, TODAY!
