CartControl® Protects Your Brand, Sales, and Shopper Experience

Shopping trolleys provide the longest touchpoint between a customer and your brand—until they’re nowhere to be found. That’s why effective trolley management and theft prevention are essential in retail.

Trolley loss is widespread and costly. Once a shopping trolley is taken from your store, the expenses begin to mount, leading to a significant drain on your revenue.

Our trusted CartControl® system discreetly prevents trolleys from ever leaving your store’s premises. This advanced anti-theft solution protects trolleys from abandonment, damage, and council fines. Keep your trolleys on-site and readily available for customers while significantly reducing unnecessary environmental waste and operational costs.

"Trolleys endure a hard life filled with heavy use, theft, and abuse. Once removed from your premises, they are likely to suffer damage from improper use and exposure, incurring costs for retrieval and repair. Trolley retrieval and maintenance place a significant strain on store budgets."

    How Much Could You Save with the CartControl® Trolley Retention Solution?

    Step 1: Trolley Loss

    The Food Marketing Institute has reported that approximately 2 million shopping carts are stolen annually. Motives for this rampant shopping cart theft range from customers living nearby walking their purchases home to sophisticated theft rings exporting carts to other countries. Ultimately, regardless of the reasons why shopping carts are stolen, the costs negatively impact retailers like you.

    Please start by entering the number of carts used in your store and the average cost of each cart. Next, include the average number of carts that are removed from your property each month. Include the cost of monthly retrieval services and any associated city fines per month per month if applicable.

    Conservative default numbers have been pre-populated for these values. Adjust the figures to explore scenarios based on various assumptions.
