Sensormatic Security Tags: A Smart Solution for Retail Loss Prevention
Retail theft is a serious problem that affects many businesses around the world. According to the Global Retail Theft Barometer, the total cost of retail shrinkage in 2020 was $61.7 billion, with shoplifting accounting for 38% of the losses. To combat this challenge, retailers need effective and reliable solutions that can protect their merchandise from theft and reduce shrinkage.
One of the most popular and proven solutions for retail loss prevention is Sensormatic security tags. Sensormatic is a leading brand of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) products that use Acousto-Magnetic (AM), Radio Frequency (RF), or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to detect and deter shoplifting. Sensormatic security tags are attached to the merchandise and can be deactivated or removed at the point of sale by authorized staff. If a tagged item is taken out of the store without being deactivated, an alarm will sound at the exit, alerting the staff and deterring the thief.
Sensormatic security tags offer many benefits for retailers and stores, such as:
- High detection rate: Sensormatic security tags have a high detection rate, meaning they can be detected by the EAS system even in challenging environments, such as metal shelves, foil-lined bags, or crowded areas.
- Wide range of applications: Sensormatic security tags can be used to protect a wide range of product categories, such as apparel, footwear, accessories, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and more. They can also be applied in-store or at the source by the manufacturer or supplier.
- Easy application and removal: Sensormatic security tags are easy to apply and remove by using specialized detachers and deactivators. They are designed to minimize damage to the merchandise and reduce labor costs.
- Visual deterrence: Sensormatic security tags provide a visual warning to potential shoplifters that the merchandise is protected by an EAS system. They also enhance the shopping experience by allowing customers to freely browse and try on the merchandise without being restricted by cables or locks.
- Inventory visibility: Sensormatic security tags can also provide inventory visibility by using RFID technology. RFID tags can store and transmit data about the product, such as SKU, price, size, color, etc. This data can be used to track inventory levels, optimize replenishment, prevent out-of-stocks, and enable omnichannel services.
Sensormatic offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive assortments of EAS hard tags for different needs and budgets. Some of the most popular models are:
- SuperTag: SuperTag is the flagship product of Sensormatic that offers superior anti-theft protection for high-risk merchandise. SuperTag has a patented dual-locking mechanism that makes it difficult to defeat by using magnets or other tools. SuperTag is available in AM, RF, RFID, and dual technology versions.
- InFuzion: InFuzion is a one-piece tag that features an integrated pin design that simplifies the application and removal process. InFuzion reduces the time and labor required to tag and untag the merchandise compared to traditional two-piece tags. InFuzion is available in AM and RFID versions.
- UltraStrip: UltraStrip is a thin and flexible label that can be applied to hard-to-tag items, such as packaged goods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, books, CDs, DVDs, etc. UltraStrip can be deactivated by using a deactivator or a scanner at the point of sale. UltraStrip is available in AM and RFID versions.
