I can’t think of a time when Alpha Security hasn’t been a part of our daily operations. It seems like they have been around forever, and probably for good reason.

Who is Alpha Security, you say? I guess I should back up a bit. Alpha Security is a highly reputable company that designs, sells, and innovates retail anti-theft devices. Their whole mission is to find comprehensive tools to prevent shoplifting for retailers both big and small.

Their mission is to reduce both shoplifting and employee theft by using their retail anti-theft devices. They took the basic EAS tag and improved it by making them work for specific situations. There aren’t many companies out there that are interested in doing that.

Most of the other companies only want to see what is currently out on the market. They feel that a tag is a tag is a tag. If it works, why try to fix it?

Not so here. Innovation speaks volumes. Why would you go for a one size fits all solution when your security problems range in size and severity?

The Alpha Nano Gate can be a perfect solution for restrooms. There are usually signs outside of the public restrooms inside of stores asking that you not bring merchandise inside that has not been paid for. By having a smaller design, the Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate easily mounts in more tight spaces than their traditional pedestal counterparts. Since restroom vestibules are typically small designs, this works well.

While most people willingly obey the signs, there are some people that don’t. It can be because they feel that they do not need to adhere to the request, or they have more dastardly reasons. Unfortunately, a posted sign is not enough to eliminate the potential for loss.

This retail anti-theft device can be used to ensure that anyone looking to ignore the sign will have an alarm to answer to. This retail anti-theft device works with your existing system. It is a small box that does the same function as the larger towers that are already in place at your exit doors.

It is important to prevent shoplifting before a thief takes merchandise inside. Due to obvious privacy concerns, it is a loss prevention nightmare to try and make an apprehension after a suspected shoplifter enters a restroom.

We recently re-designed the tool area of our store. Because the new area is a closed off horseshoe shape, it was deemed a corral. The concept was to reduce our shrink in power tools. If the shoplifters only had one way in and one way out of the department, there would be a greater chance of them being detected. Unfortunately, this didn’t work as well as expected so we went to plan B – the Alpha Spider Wrap made by Alpha Security.

Our corral would probably have worked out well, if we had taken the time to staff it correctly. Since the right hand (who made payroll decisions) didn’t know what the left hand (our loss prevention team) was doing, it was unfortunately a doomed concept from the start.

With no one watching the area, it didn’t matter how many exits there were out of the department. What did work was the implementation of the Alpha Spider Wraps. These wraps were attached to the outside of the boxes of our high theft power tools. Now there was a means to permanently prevent shoplifting regardless of how many labor hours involved.

I read an article in a loss prevention trade magazine that covered a story about one of the head honchos retiring from Alpha Security. He was responsible for many of the new products that Alpha Security is currently using with enormous amounts of success in retail anti-theft devices.

His peers all seemed to think he was a great guy, quiet and unassuming always looking for the next great innovation. He wanted to be able to provide a valuable service to the industry.

When so many companies are dead set on profits above all, it was heartwarming to see a story about more than just record setting profits. To see someone with such accolades being remembered for his personality and commitment to prevent shoplifting issues speaks volumes.

It says that Alpha Security values people and ideas, not just profits. It shows in their products. They are not designed to break the banks of small business owners. The retail anti-theft devices are made to give small business owners a fighting shot at staying in business and not being driven out because they were the victims of shoplifters.

Once upon a time I used only retail anti-theft devices like hard and soft tags in conjunction with my exit door towers to prevent shoplifting. For the most part, we saw very few attempts at theft because we were diligent in our tagging efforts. Things looked good for our store and our shrink results reinforced our dedication to retail anti-theft devices.

This was at a high-end retailer that I used to work for. The store had two levels with escalators going up and down in the center atrium. If anyone went up or down, we knew about it. There was no need to have anything like the Alpha Security Nano Gate at the escalators because of our great visibility.

What we could have used the Alpha Nano Gate for (if it had existed back then) was the elevator. The elevator was tucked away in a far corner right next to an exterior door.  To this day, I don’t know how much merchandise we lost out that door because someone picked up something on the second floor, went down the elevator and then scooted right out the door. It was because we had no way of monitoring the elevator or that exit door.
