Checkpoint Security Tags are among the most common forms of anti shoplifting devices currently being utilized in today’s retail environment. They are easy to install, easy to upkeep, and are simple enough that anyone can implement it into their store. The way it functions is the Checkpoint security tags are applied to product; the tags themselves clip on through the use of a large pin that snaps into place on the flat side of the sensor. When a sensor passes near a Checkpoint system gate it triggers an alarm, the source of which is a feedback signal created by the sensor’s proximity to the gate. The noise it creates is both familiar and noticeable. However it is not fool-proof by any means.
The most important thing to ensure the effectiveness of a Checkpoint security system is that it is executed properly. It will do no good if your employees are not attaching tags to over 95% of the product you are trying to protect. In order to ensure those standards are kept I can only suggest that incoming product that fits your company’s protection guidelines are tagged as soon as they get off the shipment truck before they even hit the sales floor. After that, doing regular checks on tag attachment rates will help you keep tabs on who in your store is not towing the line as the saying goes.
Just remember, even if you have a 100% tag attachment rate it does not guarantee absolute retail theft prevention. The Checkpoint security system is merely an anti shoplifting tool that best serves as a supplement that gives your loss prevention team valuable time and even a little peace of mind.
