Checkpoint Systems, Inc. announced the launch of S3i, a scalable RTLS (real time location system) wireless in-store network that works with enhanced Alpha High Theft Solutions’ alarmed devices to obtain critical data and analytic intelligence, increasing sales, improving on-shelf availability and reducing shrink on high-value merchandise.
S3i’s smart devices work in conjunction with smart keys to register all events, such as commissioning, removal of devices and theft.
S3i offers retailer’s corporate management, store operations and loss prevention critical data on inventory quantity, location and movement of their high-value items within the store. For example, a store manager can have immediate visibility to all of the store’s high-value merchandise protected with S3i devices.
When a shopper inquires about a specific item, the store associate can quickly locate it following the user-friendly graphical user interface. Any shoplifting attempt to remove the S3i device creates an immediate alert/alarm that enables store personnel to address according to store policies.
“With S3i, the ability to reduce theft of high-risk merchandise and collect actionable retail intelligence just got easier,” said Uwe Sydon, SVP of innovation, Checkpoint Systems.
Some large retailers are seeing the benefits as they are piloting S3i to create zones around high-risk merchandise and high-risk areas such as backrooms, fitting rooms, rest rooms and exits. It uses audible and/or visible alerts delivered to associates via smartphones, tablets, radio headsets or public address systems. This enables retailers to track high-risk merchandise in real-time and respond more quickly to potential theft events.
