Checkpoint Systems, Inc. introduced EVOLVE-Store, a real-time app for smartphones and tablets that supports real-time electronic article surveillance (EAS) and organized retail crime (ORC) event management.
The app was developed in response to retail customer requests for an easy means of ensuring that store associates leverage EAS investments appropriately, comply with store shoplifting policies and have EAS systems always turned on and operating properly.
By monitoring, measuring and managing an EAS program, retailers can deter opportunistic shoplifters and ORC activity, reducing shrink and increasing shelf availability, sales and profits.
Beyond retailer advantages, shoppers benefit because stores can monitor inventory more closely and replenish “true” out-of-stocks, so merchandise they seek will likely be available on shelves when purchasing online through click and collect, or buying directly in stores. Moreover, studies have shown that shoppers feel safer in monitored retail environments.
“Technology should make life easier for both consumers and retailers,” said Uwe Sydon, SVP of innovation, Checkpoint Systems. “EVOLVE-Store accomplishes this, with simple implementation and proven loss prevention and merchandise availability benefits that offer advantages to everyone.”
