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.

Recovered Merchandise

Experienced thieves recognise our systems and tend to avoid stores where they are installed.

Additional Theft Deterrence

With Gatekeeper Systems' Purchek® technology deterring thieves, your store associates and other shoppers are not required to engage.

Employee and Shopper Safety

Loss prevention technology systems, such as Purchek®, can reduce your legal fees and claims associated with shoplifting, workers' compensation, and in-store injuries, as well as lower costs related to prosecution, litigation, and court appearances.

Legal Fees

Purchek® technology can reduce the number of labour hours spent on cycle counting and replenishing inventory lost to theft. Additional labour savings can be achieved in the administrative tasks associated with high levels of pushout theft, such as filing and managing incident reports. The solution can also minimise the need for greeters or security guards near your exits.

Pushout Theft Solutions – 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.
