How Reliable is Your Electronic Article Surveillance Supplier And The Equipment They Are Selling?

Exaggerated claims and broken promises take place in all types of businesses and they also exist among suppliers of electronic article surveillance systems. It can be irritating when a sales representative over-promises on a product or service. I recall a car purchase I made once and I was told everything was in order and handed the keys to the vehicle. I had the car for one day and on the second day received a call at my job from the salesman who had sold the car to me. He claimed that they needed me to come to the dealership because there was an issue with my down payment. The representative said that they needed me to put more money down. I was livid. I expressed my anger, told them I had signed their paperwork and contracts and they had allowed me to drive off the lot. Now they were breaking their own agreement.  I intentionally spoke in a loud voice for all to hear. The representative asked me to wait while he spoke to his manager. The representative returned and said there was no problem after all and thank you for coming down. I started to walk out, noticed there were other customers in the showroom and made a point to ask in a loud voice, “So everything is good? I don’t have to put any more money down? I can leave and you won’t be calling me back from work again, right?” The customers looked at me and the salesman as he looked sheepish and steered me out the door telling me that all was well with the transaction. Some people will do whatever they can to make a sale but when it comes to dishonest electronic article surveillance sellers the impact can have bigger consequences. Knock-off and second-rate retail anti-theft devices and accompanying systems can hurt the profits of a business. They may not hold up to the promise that the seller makes to stop shoplifting in your store from taking place.
     

Checkpoint security tags deliver on the promise to stop shoplifting and reduce shortage. They are so reliable that Loss Prevention Systems Inc. CEO, Bill Bregar trusts Checkpoint products for the clients his company services. Small and medium sized retailers need a security consulting firm to identify risks to the business and how to prevent theft. Usually some form of anti-theft prevention needs to be put in place and Checkpoint security tags and electronic article surveillance towers are the recommended hardware solutions. The tags are designed to deter shoplifters and dishonest employees when they see them on merchandise but they also work together to create an electronic barrier to criminals. The tags send out a signal that is received by a tower (usually located near store entry and exit doors) and when products with tags on them are carried close to the doorway the tower sounds an alarm.  At the sound of an alarm store associates respond and conduct receipt checks and get the merchandise back OR the offender decides to pay for the merchandise they “forgot” they had. Either way Checkpoint security tags are dependable. As someone who has over 27 years in retail experience and 17 of those years in Loss Prevention, I have used Checkpoint systems and can attest to the reliability of the equipment.
