Stop profit loss from shoplifting with Checkpoint Systems

You as a business owner need to figure out a way to reduce your losses and control shrink in your store.  Simple enough, you would think.  But shoplifters, employee theft and vendor fraud make the task more difficult than it needs to be.  When a business is considering anti shoplifting measures, Checkpoint security systems is an option to consider.

Part of a good anti shoplifting plan is making sure that inventory is accurately tracked and accounted for.  Then, when inventory is displayed for customers to purchase, retail anti theft devices such as Checkpoint security systems can be used.  Checkpoint labels can be placed on high theft merchandise so that employees are alerted when merchandise is leaving without going through the registers.  Checkpoint security tags function in the same manner.  Often, simply the sight of anti shoplifting devices such as Checkpoint tags can be enough to deter the shoplifter and encourage them to move on to the next unprotected business.

When you recognize that some of the merchandise you sell is sought after by shoplifters, Checkpoint security systems can help protect it.  You want to be able to still have your high theft merchandise available to honest customers, and Checkpoint systems allows you to still do this but have the merchandise protection to make a profit.  There is no profit to be made when your merchandise is walking out at the hands of shoplifters.

While locked cases can help deter theft, it is probably not practical to lock up every item that you sell.  Checkpoint security systems, including Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags, can be used to display the merchandise that you have to offer without worrying about the profits you may lose if the merchandise is stolen.

Retailers Focus is on Selling

While retailers focus on selling their merchandise, which they should, they absolutely cannot ignore retail theft prevention.  Retail theft takes a huge bite out of profits, which negates an enormous amount of sales. So the retailer has to budget time and money away from what’s most productive – merchandising and selling – and devote it to protecting his merchandise and his business.

All retailers know the formula that $1.00 in stolen merchandise equals the profit from $20.00 in sales at a 5% margin.  A shoplifter who gets away with a jacket valued at $100.00 means the retailer has to sell the equivalent 20 more jackets ($2000.00) just to break even.  A lot of sales effort walks out the door with the stolen merchandise.

But suppose instead of letting the merchandise walk out the door there was an anti shoplifting device that would figuratively blow the whistle when a stolen item was leaving the store.

Checkpoint Security Systems makes exactly such a device.  In fact, there are several models of Checkpoint systems that may be used in any retail setting.  Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels are available for application on almost any type of merchandise.  The relatively small amount of time and money invested to stop shoplifting as a source of inventory loss is well worth it.

Checkpoint Security Systems is a leader in the manufacture and development of retail theft prevention devices, giving retailers the peace of mind to apply themselves toward the focus of the business – selling.

Retailers can free up time and get a quick return on investment by using Checkpoint Security Systems to guard the door to control or stop shoplifting and grow sales and profits.

Checkpoint security systems the key to anti shoplifting

Checkpoint security systems are used by many retailers.

Let me restart this… Checkpoint security systems are purchased by many retailers, but lots are not using them to their fullest potential. Checkpoint security systems offer a tremendous benefit to ANY retailers looking to protect their merchandise and boost their profits.

Take for example a chain of drug stores I work for. This company has used Checkpoint security systems for many years. Even in the toughest inner-city stores, Checkpoint security systems provide the need support to maintain the day to day operations of the store.

What bigger anti shoplifting effort could a store provide than by installing a Checkpoint security system. Managers and loss prevention professionals alike are always looking for the next big anti shoplifting device or approach, yet the sometimes fail to use their existing equipment or tools appropriately. A Checkpoint security system can be an effective tool towards anti shoplifting, however, the program and store team must be in tune with the ultimate goals of boosting profits and protecting merchandise.

If you are unfamiliar with Checkpoint systems , imagine you as a manager standing at the front of the store. You see a shoplifter with merchandise in his backpack, in his pocket, or concealed in some other way. You immediately notify all other managers and associates by saying “HEY”. Essentially, that’s what Checkpoint Systems do, when used properly. Managers and associates attach checkpoint tags and checkpoint labels to merchandise. This creates an anti shoplifting environment almost immediately. Most thieves want to get in and out of a store without being noticed. Once they see these checkpoint tags and checkpoint labels on the merchandise, they are deterred. For the shoplifters that just don’t care or don’t see the tag, well, they get a wakeup call once they reach the front of the store. A  Checkpoint security system is a great anti shoplifting tool.

Checkpoint security systems help stop boosters

Checkpoint security systems have been integral part of a stores loss prevention program for many years. The benefits of such as system can be measured daily by simply tracking the activations of the antennae and recording shoplift apprehensions.

Checkpoint security systems have helped my company tremendously. In a heavy customer traffic location, several of my stores deter customer theft daily by simply having a checkpoint security system in place. I hear managers in praise of these Checkpoint security systems and learn their stories of the attempted shoplifter deterred by the mere sight of the checkpoint security system.

Adding Checkpoint systems to your store(s) is a relatively inexpensive way to protect your merchandise. In my opinion, in the long the run, the investment into checkpoint systems pays for itself. I can’t tell you the number of times I have heard or seen the checkpoint systems activate, a former shoplifter dropping the merchandise and fleeing from the store. It happens. Daily.

Properly executing a Checkpoint security system involves the process of attaching Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags. Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags are tough devices that cannot easily be defeated by the would-be thief. It is well know that shoplifters thrive off of environments where they are not acknowledged. They wanna walk into a store, select the merchandise of choice and walk out of the store virtually unidentifiable. Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags take away that privacy and take the shoplifter from covert to overt. In the retail world, it makes no sense to me to see retailers without this form of protection. In a way, I say, good. The shoplifters coming into my store(s) and seeing the protection will deter them and send them over to the unprotected stores.

My advice to anyone without a Checkpoint Security system, INVEST, TODAY!

Checkpoint Systems Label and Tag Placement

Just as it is important to have Checkpoint labels for your store, it is equally important to know where to place your Checkpoint labels on the merchandise. If you are using soft Checkpoint tags to help control loss then here are a few things you will need to know.

First, the Checkpoint tags are tuned to alarm your Checkpoint security system using radio frequency. This means that when you place a Checkpoint labels on merchandise, you will want to avoid metal surfaces. Metal will hinder the effectiveness of your label, if the two are placed directly against each other.

Second, your Checkpoint tags should be placed on a flat surface. When locating a security tag on an item of merchandise, you should look for a place that is flat. The more the label bends or curves the less strength it will have when it passes through the detection field.

Third, keep in mind that you are going to be deactivating your Checkpoint labels when your merchandise is purchased. The easiest way to ensure that the label will be deactivated is to place the label near the barcode. The reason this is a good location is because the barcode will pass across the scanner and within the range of the deactivation field. It also requires no extra movements or time from your cashier’s routine, which will keep production at the high standard you have already set. This will also prevent a work interruption because of a false alarm that could have been prevented by the proper placement of your security tag.

Having the knowledge of where to place your security labels will help to ensure that your Checkpoint security system is an effective tool in preventing loss.

If a shoplifter desires an item enough, there is a way to steal it.
