Stop Pushout Theft

With Gatekeeper Systems’ Purchek® Solution, you can protect your product from theft and protect your employees and shoppers from violence. The non-confrontational solution acts to prevent theft, not just detect it. By disabling wheels on carts that have not met the proper criteria, bad actors are stopped right in their tracks. Merchandise is typically abandoned, and the suspect flees without requiring any interaction with your employees. Disappointing the shoplifter, is a bonus.

    How Much Will You Save with Purchek® Pushout Theft Protection?

    Step 1: Merchandise Recovered
    Please start by entering the number of stores and the average number of carts per store. Next, enter the estimated number and value of pushout theft attempts per week.

    The frequency of pushout thefts tends to differ based on the type and location of stores, often surpassing the anticipated levels set by store management.

    Conservative default numbers have been prepopulated for these values. Adjust the numbers to see scenarios based on different assumptions.
    Step 2: Profitable Sales Required to Offset Loss Merchandise
    Select from the drop-down menu, the retail margin that best matches your stores. The calculator will now show the sales dollars you need to generate to offset the stolen goods. Remember that when merchandise is stolen, you don't only need to recover the margin lost from the stolen goods, but the value of the goods themselves.
    Step 3: Additional Savings Considerations
    In addition to the losses from the stolen merchandise, there are many other areas to consider when calculating your Return on Investment (ROI) for our Purchek® Solution. Additional areas of benefit to consider are explained here.

    How Purchek® Technology Works

    Purchek® technology is a fully automated behavior-based system that prevents shopping carts from leaving a retail store location unless they have been authorized at a point of sale (POS) location. If not authorized, the cart will be locked at the exit, further triggering a video event and audible alarm. This commonly results in the thief walking away without the product or a physical incident.

    Our Purchek® technology validates the ROI of the system, while providing our retail partners unique insights into theft behavior occurring in their stores everyday.

    The Purchek® system is designed with the flexibility to accommodate a variety of retail store formats. The system remains invisible to paying customers while stopping thieves right in their tracks.
