Optimizing the Value of Purchek® Technology

Theft Intelligence Services

Gatekeeper Systems’ Theft Intelligence Services elevates the theft prevention value of your Purchek® solution, extending its impact beyond merely preventing the theft captured in a single video. By providing a comprehensive lens into theft activity, our services transform isolated incidents into actionable insights. This deeper understanding allows retailers to go beyond reacting to individual thefts, enabling them to strategically address the broader patterns and trends in their stores.

Enhancing Theft Prevention with FaceFirst AI-Powered Face Matching Software

To further strengthen loss prevention capabilities, Gatekeeper Systems partners with FaceFirst, a leader in AI-driven face matching technology. FaceFirst enables retailers to identify known offenders, including ORC (Organized Retail Crime) suspects, in real time, empowering security teams with instant alerts and actionable intelligence.

By integrating FaceFirst’s AI-powered analytics with Purchek® video events, retailers gain an enhanced ability to detect and track repeat offenders, reducing theft risks before they escalate. FaceFirst’s automated matching system helps loss prevention teams identify individuals across multiple store locations, strengthening the ability to counter organized retail crime effectively.

From Data to Actionable Insights

Flagged video data identifying potential ORC and repeat offender incidents significantly lightens the burden on retail loss prevention teams, allowing them to focus on action-oriented activities to lower theft-related shrink. With these insights, retailers can deploy targeted countermeasures, informed by a keener understanding of their unique challenges, ultimately leading to more effective loss prevention strategies and a greater overall impact on reducing theft.

By combining Purchek®’s real-time theft prevention technology with FaceFirst’s AI-driven active threat identification, retailers can not only stop violence and theft, but also proactively build long-term deterrence strategies that reduce loss and enhance store safety.

    How Much Could You Save with Purchek® Pushout Theft Prevention?

    Step 1: Merchandise Recovered
    Please start by entering the number of stores and the average number of trolleys per store. Next, input the estimated number and value of pushout theft attempts per week.

    The frequency of pushout thefts often varies depending on the type and location of the stores, often exceeding the levels anticipated by store management.

    Conservative default numbers have been pre-populated for these values. Adjust the figures to explore scenarios based on various assumptions.
    Step 2: Profitable Sales Required to Offset Lost Merchandise
    Select from the drop-down menu, the retail margin that best matches your stores. The calculator will now show the sales you need to generate to offset the stolen goods. Remember that when merchandise is stolen, you don't only need to recover the margin lost from the stolen goods, but the value of the goods themselves.
    Step 3: Additional Savings Considerations
    In addition to the losses from the stolen merchandise, there are many other areas to consider when calculating your Return on Investment (ROI) for our Purchek® Solution. Additional areas of benefit to consider are explained here.

    Purchek Comparison Matrix

    How Purchek® Technology Works

    Purchek® technology is a fully automated, behaviour-based system that prevents shopping trolleys from leaving a retail store unless authorised at a point of sale (POS). If unauthorised, the trolley locks at the exit, triggering a video event and an audible alarm. This often results in the thief walking away without the product or causing a physical incident.

    Our Purchek® technology validates the ROI of the system, while providing our retail partners with unique insights into theft behaviour occurring in their stores every day.

    The Purchek® system is designed with the flexibility to accommodate a variety of retail store formats. It remains invisible to paying customers while stopping thieves in their tracks.
