The problem

Shrinkage from theft disappears inside the inventory count

In a supermarket, losses come from every direction: customers, contractors and the operation itself. Without an electronic barrier at the exit, shrinkage becomes "normal" — and eats into the margin of entire departments.

  • Entrance/exit antenna with audible and visual alarm.
  • Reusable hard tags (removed at checkout with a detacher).
  • Disposable adhesive tags for fast-turnover items.
  • Products stay on display and selling — no need for locked cabinets.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from store managers

RF technology loses sensitivity near metal (cans, trolleys) and liquids. AM (acousto-magnetic) maintains detection in that environment, which is why it's recommended for food retail.

Yes. We use adhesive tags designed for meat, deli and personal-care packaging, deactivated at checkout. For beverages and appliances, we use reusable hard tags.

No. Tag deactivation/removal happens alongside scanning the product. With the right training, the time per item barely changes.

No. You buy the antennas and they're yours. There's only tag replacement based on your store's volume.
