Stop Profits From Rolling Away

See How It Works

CartControl® Protects Your Brand, Sales, and Shopper Experience

Shopping carts represent the longest interaction between a customer and your brand. That is until they aren’t available, making retail cart management and theft prevention essential.

Cart loss is widespread and expensive. Once a shopping cart is removed from your location, the costs start piling up, creating a substantial drain on your revenue.

Our proven CartControl® system silently stops carts from ever leaving a store’s premises. This shopping cart anti-theft system saves them from abandonment, damage, and city fines. Keep your shopping carts on-site, and available for your customers while vastly reducing unnecessary environmental waste and operational costs.

"Carts live a hard life full of difficult work, theft, and abuse. Once taken off your property, carts are likely damaged from improper use and exposure before they are retrieved at cost to your store. Cart retrieval and maintenance is a drain on store budgets."

    How Much Will You Save with the CartControl® Cart Retention Solution?

    Step 1: Cart 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 prepopulated for these values. Adjust the numbers to see scenarios based on different assumptions.
