A secure store is a profitable store

Securing the store against theft means the synergy between the vigilance of the human factor and the technical safety devices.

The first thing to start with is to train employees to be more careful and to recognize potential criminals.

Usually, thieves have a rather specific behavior, looking more around the commercial space and the people in the store and less about certain products. If you have noticed a suspicious person, discreetly alert colleagues and accompany this suspicious person as long as he is in the store. You can ask, if everything is in order if he found the product you are looking for, and if you can help with anything, thus strengthening the presence of the staff. In this sense, you must have the necessary staff to serve the customers and supervise the store.

Also, don't forget to greet all customers who enter the store and interact with them. Next to the good image of the store, let the buyers know your presence. By giving him clues that he has been identified, create conditions to avoid crime. On most criminals, an approach like "Can I help you with something?" or "Can I help you find what you're looking for?" it will cause them to abandon their plans.

Buyers with bad intentions try to attract the cashier's attention while another person leaves the store with the stolen goods.

In this sense, make sure that the staff is accessible to all buyers, and never leave the store unattended.

In large stores, labels are often replaced.

In this sense, the cashier must look at the price of each product, and if he notices something wrong, he can turn to the help of colleagues. No matter how vigilant your staff may be, it is virtually impossible to eliminate store theft by relying solely on management techniques. In this sense, combine management with anti-theft systems and video surveillance. In medium "open space" stores, employees cannot track every customer, so installing a video surveillance system is useful to insure you in case of crimes, because the recorded documentation can be presented as evidence.

The anti-theft system helps retailers increase sales, in order to expose more expensive products to visible places.

The most effective way to prevent crime, especially shoplifting, is to equip the sales area as well as the storerooms with an anti-theft system consisting of a video surveillance system and anti-theft gates. The latter is used to detect unpaid products at the cash register, triggering an audible and light signal to identify the unauthorized theft of a product. An anti-theft system at retail outlets can significantly reduce staff costs, and salespeople can handle customer service.

How does the anti-theft system work in stores?

"RF" technology in anti-theft systems is based on radio frequency, being one of the most commonly used detection technologies worldwide, and flexible and detachable labels are the smallest and most flexible solutions for protecting goods. The low costs of anti-theft systems in stores have helped to spread them, so they are a "must-have" attribute in retail stores.

The flexible and detachable anti-theft labels, glued or fixed on the products, contain an electrical circuit and a small antenna, which response to the signals emitted by anti-theft gates (transmitter mode). The signal (response) emitted by the labels is received by anti-theft gates (receiver module) and is digitally processed. When an anti-theft tag is identified, the anti-theft gates trigger an alarm with an audible and light signal. Modern anti-theft gates are equipped with "digital signal processing" for more advanced differentiation of label signals and external noise.
