How Much Could You Save with the CartControl Trolley Retention Solution?
Step 1: Trolley 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 pre-populated for these values. Adjust the figures to explore scenarios based on various assumptions.Step 2: Additional Savings Calculations

Protect Your Brand, Shopper Experience, and Sales with the CartControl System
Shopping trolleys represent the longest point of interaction between a customer and your brand. Once a shopping trolley is removed from your premises, the costs begin to accumulate, creating a significant drain on your revenue. Trolley loss is both widespread and costly.
Completely unnoticed, our proven CartControl solution prevents trolleys from leaving a store’s premises (both indoors and outdoors), protecting them from abandonment, damage, or municipal fines. Our solution ensures your shopping trolleys remain on-site and available for your customers, while significantly reducing unnecessary environmental waste and store operational costs.
"Trolleys endure a hard life filled with heavy use, theft, and abuse. Once removed from your premises, they are likely to suffer damage from improper use and exposure, incurring costs for retrieval and repair. Trolley retrieval and maintenance place a significant strain on store budgets."
Rick WhiddenDirector of Asset Protection, Albertsons-Safeway
