When a retailer is forced to take an anti shoplifting stand because of high inventory losses and reduced profits blamed on theft, there are a lot of options open, from increased staff, locking displays, CCTV. None of these are cheap and totally effective. A shoplifter is like any other criminal: motive, means, and opportunity are required for him to complete the crime. As long as the shoplifter believes he has the opportunity to steal undetected, he is going to go ahead and make the conscious decision to do it.
The retailer has no control over motive and means of the shoplifter; therefore he has got to reduce opportunity.
A premier anti shoplifting solution is offered by Checkpoint Systems. The retailer decides which merchandise to protect based on his own criteria: price point; theft rate; location; popularity; or even all merchandise on display are legitimate decisions. Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels are attached to the merchandise. When this merchandise passes the Checkpoint Systems antennas that are located at the entrance/exit of the store, and the salesperson at checkout hasn’t deactivated or removed the Checkpoint tags or Checkpoint labels, and alarm will sound and the customer will be redirected back into the store.
Retailers who have installed and use Checkpoint Systems equipment have experienced a tremendous decrease in inventory loss. Every potential shoplifter that enters a store protected by Checkpoint Security Systems has to make a conscious decision: Do I want to take a risk by stealing from this store or do I want to go to a store that doesn’t have a detection device? Most would choose the easier road.
The installation and use of Checkpoint Systems, Checkpoint tags, and Checkpoint labels is to make an unmistakable anti shoplifting statement: Go somewhere else to steal.
