Anti shoplifting a top priority for many retailers

Anti shoplifting efforts can sometimes go unnoticed by many managers in the retail world. It is just as important to protect your assets as it is to making the sale.

A small grocery store was having issues with inventory disappearing from their shelves. This store was a specialty market dealing with international foods. In this single store chain, they were having a very profitable year. In preparation for inventory, they noticed merchandise missing, processes and procedures they had establish were not being followed. Shoplifting was a big problem in their store too. Focusing their preliminary efforts on anti shoplifting, the store requested and implemented a loss prevention agent program. The agent’s responsibility was simple: Apprehend shoplifters and stop shoplifting. Over the course of the next month, the stores anti shoplifting results were proven. Shoplifter after shoplifter was apprehended, some of the customers this store thought were the best and most trusted, had for years been ripping them off.

Next, the store decided to go with a Checkpoint security system. After they personally reviewed the product, and after recommendations from a loss prevention consultant, the store felt a Checkpoint security system was a great choice for a continued anti shoplifting program. Once the Checkpoint security system was installed, the store noticed a dramatic decrease in instances of shoplifting. The loss prevention agent witnessed potential shoplifters deterred as a result of the checkpoint tags placed on high theft items. Checkpoint tags were an obvious and visible deterrent, and the store now had the proof.

As time went on, the store realized the importance of having an anti shoplifting program that included a Checkpoint security system and continued to drives sales with better results. Installing the checkpoint tags on merchandise was fast and easy, and helped maintain the sense of security and customer focus.
