Reduce Stock Shrinkage

Stock shrinkage – losses caused by customer theft and staff fraud – is a fact of life for all retailers. Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) retail security systems can deter and detect theft while allowing customers to browse through openly displayed goods.

What is EAS?

Electronic article surveillance (EAS) is a technological method for preventing shoplifting from retail stores or pilferage of books from libraries. Special tags are fixed to merchandise or books. These tags are removed or deactivated by the clerks when the item is properly bought or checked out. At the exits of the store, a detection system sounds an alarm or otherwise alerts the staff when it senses active tags.

ADT's Solution

At ADT we provide a wide range of EAS solutions, based on Ultra-Max Acousto-Magnetic (AM) technology, the preferred solution for many of the world’s largest retailers. Virtually any item in your store can be protected with a Sensormatic security tag or label. High value items, such as clothing, can be protected with a prominent tag, while even small pocketable items can be protected with an adhesive label. With source tagging – the provision of anti-theft labels or tags to products at the point of manufacture – there is no need to use expensive staff time to apply them instore.
