Our Company

Gatekeeper Systems® was founded in 1998 on the principles of innovation, quality, and service. Our initial loss prevention solution, The Wheel® Cart Containment system, was launched to reduce cart loss and ensure ample carts were available for store patrons. The solution was welcomed by the industry and quickly adopted by major retailers. In the mid 2000’s, Gatekeeper Systems saw an opportunity to leverage its locking wheel technology to solve an increasingly common pushout theft problem and created the Purchek® system, the first of its kind.

Today, Gatekeeper Systems’ product suite offers solutions for EVERY retailer’s need to improve safety, minimize merchandise loss, reduce labor expenditures, and increase store profits.

Gatekeeper’s loss prevention and cart containment solutions utilize patented locking technology to put an end to cart-based shoplifting and shopping cart loss. Cart management solutions increase safety and reduce labor costs by maximizing productivity, while simultaneously resulting in a positive store image.

Business Intelligence solutions provide increased visibility for informed decision making. Increase efficiency, optimize fleet size, and perfect the entire customer shopping experience with store and enterprise-level analytics.
