Keep Your Checkpoint System in A1 Shape

A Checkpoint security system is not an install and walk away system. This is commercial grade equipment but like your car the system needs a little TLC from time to time to keep it in top shape.
As you make changes in store layout, outside interference, abuse, wear and tear reduce the system’s performance. For example moving a display to close could cause intermittent alarms. Loss Prevention Systems (LPSI) Technicians attached our laptops with factory software and re-tune the system each time we visit.
When Checkpoint’s Research and Development team makes improvements you get the benefit as download those updates to your systems firmware.
You get all of this and more from a LPSI Preventative Maintenance Agreement.
A professionally installed properly maintained Checkpoint security system is designed for many years of reliable performance.

Checkpoint Electronic Article Surveillance

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) equipment provides security and loss prevention to store merchandise. However, EAS is not the complete solution to the shoplifting problem and will not stop shoplifting by itself. Points that should be kept in mind when using EAS in a loss prevention program include:

Certain labels and tags can be noticed by shoplifters and removed. Concealment is important with labels. Labels can be disguised and hard tags should be made extra secure depending on where and how they are attached.

Labeling and tagging merchandise costs in both the labels and tags and labor. This can be cost prohibitive if you attempt to tag and label all merchandise. Consider establishing a price point and up that are to be tagged. Of course you also want to label and tag any merchandise that is prone to theft.

A properly maintained system, labels and tags can be a huge support to customer service when there is a high ratio of customers to employees.

Security and loss prevention professionals know that the presence of tagging systems themselves can be a deterrent to most types of shoplifters.

Dye tags can be used on soft goods and clothing for product denial.

Checkpoint Security Systems Training

Checkpoint security systems provide a very strong deterrent to all levels of shoplifters. This includes the impulse, amateur and professional shoplifters. But employee involvement is critical. Many times we install a Checkpoint security systems and the retailer feels that they have solved all their shoplifting problems. This is far from the truth.

Employees understand the basic operation of the Checkpoint security systems installed. The most common problem is that employees are not trained and held accountable for alarms when they occur.

In many cases the Checkpoint system will alarm and an employee will just wave the customer (or shoplifter) through. Even worse they will say the system is not working properly. Because of a lack of training or confidence the employee just told everyone in range that they can shoplift to their hearts content…. and will just be waved on.

Loss Prevention Systems provides on site training when we install our Checkpoint security systems. We also provide our customers with training documents that allow you to keep the training on going.

How often should you train and provide follow up training to your employees on the use of your Checkpoint security system? You decide. It depends on how much money you are willing to loose.

New Checkpoint Security Tags

Checkpoint has release several new tags. One of the most exciting is the EP-3210 Clear Poly (Enhanced Performance). This tag is “see-thru”. Checkpoint has really outdone itself this time!

This tag can be placed directly over the barcode on a product. The barcode can then be read directly through the tag. But there is more. The EP-3210 Clear Poly pretty much disappears once in place. Yes the circuit of the tag is visible but in the tests we have run the tag blends into many products packaging.

Checkpoint truly is the innovator in the Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) market. The new line of EP tags include two sizes of round tags which are great for small boxes or bottles and have no corners that may have to wrap around the edges. Other sizes include the postage stamp size and the EP-410, which is the same size as the traditional 410 tag.

But why use the new EP tags? This series gives the BEST performance of any 8.2 tags in the market, period end of sentence!

All Checkpoint security tags deliver performance well above any other manufacture. The adhesive is aggressive and wont give out and cause the tag to fall off the merchandise. When a Checkpoint security tag is deactivated… it is deactivated. It will not re-activate on it’s own. Reactivated tags are common with non-Checkpoint and cause embarrassing alarms when your customer attempts to exit your store after a legitimate purchase.

Loss Prevention Systems carries the entire Checkpoint security tag line including the EP-3210 Clear Poly. Call us today. 1-770-426-0547.


Easy Clothing Security

It happens every day. Shoplifters steal clothing from retail stores. How do you stop it? The solution is very simple. Achieve true clothing security by using a Checkpoint anti shoplifting system.

A tag is attached to the garment to be protected. This tag can only be removed by store personnel. The tag is then removed at the cash wrap and the customer proceeds on their way. You cannot achieve clothing security any easier than that.

Oh want more clothing security? Add an ink tag! Ink tags release a permanent dye if tampered with. The shoplifter really has to work on the item to get the ink tag to break and spread the ink so accidents are rare.

Still more? Drop a soft tag/label into a pocket! This gives you double coverage. This is anti shoplifting at it’s best.

Don’t let the shoplifters control your store. Take it back with anti shoplifting clothing security by Loss Prevention Systems and Checkpoint. 1.770.426.0547
