The problem

Every item that leaves without passing the till is profit that never comes back

External theft, internal theft and stock "shrinkage" eat into any retailer's margin. Without an electronic system at the door, the loss only shows up in the inventory count — by which point it's too late.

  • Audible and visual alarm when an active tag passes through the antenna.
  • Deterrent effect: a visible tag already reduces theft attempts.
  • Products stay accessible on the sales floor — no need to lock everything in a display case.

Anti-theft tags: hard and adhesive

Hard tags (reusable)

Attached to the product with a pin or steel cable and removed at the till with a detacher. Ideal for clothing, bags, footwear and higher-value items. Impact-resistant and reusable for years.

Adhesive tags (disposable)

Stuck directly onto the packaging or product. Perfect for books, perfume, medication, cosmetics, meat and fast-turnover items. Deactivated at the till.

Accessories: checkout detachers and deactivators, steel cables (lanyards) to secure hard tags on irregularly shaped items, and category-specific locks.
