Checkpoint Systems “For Dummies” (part II)

May 9, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

There is the possibility of a Checkpoint security system going into alarm without someone actually stealing something. This is because Checkpoint systems are tuned and manufactured to alarm when they see 8.2 MHz. While it is a unique frequency, many things in an environment can produce, if only for a moment, the frequency the system is trying to receive. Let’s go back to the analogy of the radio in your car. Sometimes when you are driving and you pass underneath the big high voltage power lines or a semi-truck passes you, you will here static on your radio. The same is true for Checkpoint security systems. “Static” on occasion could cause a system to false alarm but instead of it being high voltage power lines it could be the vibration in the electric door.

Checkpoint labels are made up of a coil of metal specifically designed to alarm Checkpoint security systems. Any merchandise that does not have Checkpoint labels attached to them will not alarm if stolen. I know this might seem silly to some people but there is an assumption by some that an electronic article surveillance system has the ability to “know” when an item has or has not been purchased. These Checkpoint systems are not integrated directly to the point of sale or use telepathy to determine whether or not an item has been properly purchased.

Once someone has placed Checkpoint labels on the merchandise of their choosing, that item will alarm the Checkpoint security system if not deactivated. The deactivation process takes place at the point of sale. What happens is a deactivation device is placed under the counter or inside the scanner of a cash register. This device emits an RF field similar to that of the Checkpoint security systems antennas at the front door. Unlike the field at the front, this field is significantly stronger but in a more confined space. When a label passes through the invisible field, the RF energy being created causes the coil of metal inside the label to be physically altered. Once this has taken place the Checkpoint labels are no longer at 8.2 MHz and will no longer alarm a Checkpoint security system.

Developing an Anti Shoplifting Attitude

May 7, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Why does a retail business owner make it a priority to develop an anti shoplifting attitude among his employees and how can he make it happen.

The unfortunate storeowner who experiences a financial shock when reading the results of his latest physical inventory and realizes that he has inexplicably lost 7 to 10% of his stock to theft, paperwork errors, or lack of control.

Shoplifting certainly contributes a large portion of all shortage, and is one of the most difficult to control. An all out anti shoplifting effort is needed to prevent shoplifting losses from eating up all the profits.

Management should talk up shoplifting prevention at every opportunity: Store rallies, departmental meetings, paycheck inserts, bulletin boards, training sessions, new hire orientations, time clock messages – anywhere that it’s appropriate to bring it up. Highlight anti shoplifting efforts of individual employees, whether she used excellent customer service to deter a potential shoplifter, or pointed out a known shoplifter to management, or simply had a great loss prevention idea by recognizing them and rewarding them if appropriate.

Devote an entire store meeting to an anti shoplifting theme pointing out the costs of shoplifting, how to handle a potential shoplifter situation, characteristics of shoplifters, and how shoplifting can affect them personally in the way of decreased salaries, benefits, and even job loss because of decreased profits attributed to shoplifters.

Provide the store and staff the equipment it needs to make a serious dent in the shoplifter traffic at your location. Convex mirrors, CCTV systems, and EAS by Checkpoint Security Systems are some of the ways to both prevent and detect shoplifting at your location.

But even with the most sophisticated electronic measures in place to prevent shoplifting, the most important asset to have is an alert, attentive, and engaged staff.

Checkpoint Systems “For Dummies”

May 5, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

A Checkpoint security system is an excellent tool used by retailers around the world to help prevent shoplifting. It is a visual deterrent that causes most petty shoplifter to think twice about putting merchandise in their pocket. Also, Checkpoint systems alert employees if someone tries to leave the store with items that have not been purchased.

Checkpoint security systems create an RF (Radio Frequency) field around the antenna(s) that are located at exit points of a retail store. They also may be placed at any point a retailer decides they do not want merchandise that has not been purchased to go. The RF field works the same way as radio or cell phone towers. The closer you are to them the stronger the signal will be. This means that the closer the Checkpoint labels are to the antennas the better the pickup will be.

Checkpoint tags are tuned to a specific frequency that the Checkpoint security system is designed to recognize. This can be compared to a radio station’s number. When you turn the radio in to 97.5 F.M. you are telling your radio to receive the signal that is being transmitted by the radio tower that is broadcasting at 97.5 MHz. A Checkpoint security system does the same thing except it is at 8.2MHz.

This is where some retailer’s expectations become increasingly high. Although Checkpoint security systems do a fantastic job at detecting merchandise with Checkpoint labels, it is not 100 percent accurate by itself. Retailers cannot simply have someone install Checkpoint systems and expect the system to become their entire loss prevention department. This is true with any electronic article surveillance system.

Checkpoint Security Systems Offer Profit Solutions for Retailers

April 30, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Checkpoint Security Systems offer a variety of solutions for retailers.

Checkpoint Security Systems provide innovative technology geared towards protecting merchandise while maintaining profitability. Most seasoned retailers understand one of their biggest assets in the war against shrink is Checkpoint Security Systems.

Checkpoint Security systems were recently installed in a somewhat new retailer I manage. This store was really not expected to lose much inventory based on other retailers in the area. However, it was very clear that this was very much a “guesstimate” and from the get go proved inaccurate. The business was trying to save money and figured they could cut some of the budget by reducing merchandise protection efforts, namely Checkpoint Security Systems. The stores belief was that the simple appearance of a Checkpoint System will deter any thieves and ultimately help the store control its budget. In reality, this store was assuming that because it was in a low crime area, they would not have any difficulty with shoplifters or theft. This is a big misconception by many retailers. Some assume that because they are in visually low crime area, or even in an affluent area, they won’t have the same levels of shoplifting and theft crimes. True to a point, but no retailer is immune to theft and loss or shrink.

A checkpoint system installed and properly executed will provide the much needed anti shoplifting efforts. This retailer assumed it would not need anything more than an installed checkpoint system, no other anti shoplifting positions nor measures were put in place. As a result of the stores poorly directed budgetary concerns, the business suffered. The checkpoint system was installed but no one really cared. The store was being taken daily by both customers and employees. Had this store utilized the checkpoint system as recommended, anti shoplifting would not be as big a concern as it proved to be.

In his stores, he trained the store staff on the proper placement of checkpoint labels and how properly placing these checkpoint labels, it would protect the merchandise and help boost sales. As part of the checkpoint systems program, my boss also followed up with the stores management team to ensure they knew the facts about the system, and were also familiar with the checkpoint labels, how they worked and what to do when the system is activated. He went so far as to tear apart new checkpoint labels to show the management team how the tags worked and what made them effective.

Physical security of your building assisted by Checkpoint Security Systems

April 15, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Checkpoint security systems do more to benefit the store than what most understand. As a loss prevention professional I share the stories of success attributed to a well instituted Checkpoint Security System.

Checkpoint Security Systems have been around for years. My first experience with these advanced Checkpoint systems was at a drug store chain several years ago. Entering into the position, I quickly realized the store had no clue of what the checkpoint systems were all about. In addition to the store not knowing anything about them, I knew nothing either. I contacted out Checkpoint Security System representative and asked him to come out and give us a refresher on our Checkpoint Security System.

I invited members of management and key associates to this refresher, and focused on learning the Checkpoint systems myself. The rep. went on about the easy way the Checkpoint Security Systems operate and how the Checkpoint systems were the leaders in the industry. That was all good stuff, but what I wanted to know was how the Checkpoint Systems worked. He showed me a little square paper looking tag and called it a Checkpoint labels. He said this little Checkpoint labels could be affixed to almost any piece of merchandise we wanted to protect in the store. Checkpoint Security Systems work by recognizing the checkpoint labels as it passes through the Checkpoint Security System antennae. Ding, a bell went off. I realized I could better assist the store in protecting merchandise by ensuring their Checkpoint Security System was fully functional and being executed according to company standard.

As time went on, I learned the real life value of the Checkpoint Security systems and as the employees knowledge of the systems and checkpoint labels grew, so did the stores profits.
