Shopper Analytics and Loss Insights

HD Event Video + Classification provides valuable insights into repeat offender activity and validates ROI.

How Purchek® Technology Works

Purchek® technology is a fully automated, cart-behavior based system. It prevents goods in carts from leaving the store location unless they meet the criteria for exit. Without authorization, the wheels will lock at the exit, an alarm sounds, and a video event is triggered. This often results in the thief leaving empty-handed, without incident or confrontation.

Leverage your fleet of shopping carts as a large-scale shoplifting prevent system, ensuring security without disrupting paying customers.

Beyond theft prevention, Purchek® technology provides valuable insights into in-store theft patterns, helping retailers refine security strategies and validate ROI.

Pushout Theft Solutions – Comparison Matrix

Purchek Comparison Matrix

    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.
