If you pay an employee you expect him/her to work, right?  Well the same should go for the anti-theft devices you buy.  With the economy the way it is, we are all concerned with expenses.  That said, you have to have employees in order to make sales and in the same regards you have to utilize stop shoplifting tools in order to protect the profit from those sales.

 So how can you make anti-theft products “work”?  There are several ways.  First, you have to have the proper employees.  Checkpoint Systems is a leader in innovative stop shoplifting tools, such as RF security tags, RF labels, cameras, clothing alarms, etc.  So now that we have hired the right “employee” in Checkpoint Security Systems, we need to do the training. 

 Systems are only as good as the people who work them.  Managers need to be properly trained on how to use the Checkpoint System cameras if they are going to track known shoplifters and avoid getting repeatedly hit by the same thieves.  Cashiers and other associates need to be trained on the EAS system so they know how to apply Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags in the correct locations and respond to the alarms properly.  (A few tips on the RF security tags and RF security labels placement.  Put hard tags in seams of product to avoid damaging the merchandise.  Put an RF label near the barcodes (preferably on the inside of the package if possible) to help ensure deactivation at the register.)

 Finally, you have to manage the program.  Shoplifting prevention is not a hand off process.  It requires monitoring, regular follow up to ensure proper functionality and fine-tuning; just like the rest of your employees. Make sure that your employees are placing the RF labels in the proper locations. You will also want to make sure that they are not placing the RF security labels directly on metal surfaces.  The good thing is Checkpoint systems offers great service to assist you in this process.

Anti-theft RF security tags used as part of a stop shoplifting plan along with RF security system EAS protection of vulnerable high theft merchandise is alarming!

 The shoplifters think it’s alarming because once the RF security system is installed in the store; they will have to decide on another retailer to visit in order to continue to commit their crime undetected.  The customer can’t remove the Checkpoint security tags once they’re attached.

 RF labels are also alarming when it passes through the detection field of the Checkpoint security system’s antennas located at the store’s entrance.  The audible alarm and flashing light (on most models) alert store staff to the fact that an RF label is still attached to articles that are leaving the store and require attention.  An employee using a special detacher specifically designed by Checkpoint security systems removes the RF security tags or deactivates the RF security labels at the point of sale. 

 Anti-theft applications for the RF security tags are designed for almost any type of merchandise, including specialty items.  The RF (Radio Frequency) technology used in Checkpoint systems is the very latest and most advanced in the industry for retailers.  Also alarming for shoplifters is that the retailer can pick and choose which merchandise to protect.  Shoplifters will definitely avoid stores that utilize a Checkpoint system as part of its stop shoplifting strategy.  Apparel, sports gear, hardware, electronics, and almost any other type of merchandise you can imagine can be protected by one of Checkpoint security systems’ selection of hard tags or Checkpoint Labels.

 An RF labels is best suited for items that a tag won’t work well on because of size or material, such as boxed or packaged items.

 One thing a retailer won’t be alarmed about is the improvement in inventory shortage figures once an anti-theft program including a Checkpoint system, RF Labels or RF security labels are used in their store.

A few days ago I received a service call from a new client who needed service on an existing Checkpoint system that he had purchased to stop shoplifting at his retail store. The problem he was having is that two days after the system was installed it started to false alarm. After talking with the gentleman I found out that he had purchased the system from an uncertified company that was selling “refurbished” Checkpoint security systems. 

 He had attempted to contact the company he had purchased the Checkpoint system from but they were giving him the runaround and were not making any efforts to resolve his problem. After being unsuccessful with the “reseller of his refurbished system” he contacted Loss Prevention Systems, Inc. We promptly setup a service call scheduled for the following day. Upon arriving onsite the technician discovered what the problem was… everything.

 The problem with an uncertified “reseller” is that they have not been adequately trained nor do they have the correct equipment to install a Checkpoint system properly. If you have someone who does not know what they are doing, you risk a similar situation. From the unique type of wire that is used to the software that programs an antenna, only someone factory certified on Checkpoint security systems will be able to ensure that your system will operate at its highest efficiency.

 The “reseller” also sold this gentleman what he thought were Checkpoint security tags and Checkpoint labels. The problem was that the RF labels he bought were actually an aftermarket knockoff RF label. These knockoff RF labels are very unreliable. Genuine Checkpoint RF security labels and RF security tags are very hard to copy, these company’s that try to duplicate an RF label usually have at least one of two problems. Either a large number of RF security labels will not alarm the system or it’s what is referred to as a “stubborn” label, which means that the label will not deactivate at the time of purchase and causes a properly purchased item to alarm a Checkpoint system when your client leaves the store.

 If you are considering purchasing a Checkpoint security system and RF security tags, don’t make the mistake of using an uncertified reseller. Let us help you get the right parts at the right price the first time.
