Robert Harling, CEO of Gatekeeper Systems, highlighted the Purchek® Pushout Theft Prevention Solution in his article on Retail Touch Points. He addressed the growing challenge of pushout theft, where shoplifters use shopping carts to steal large quantities of merchandise. This form of theft significantly impacts retailers, leading to financial losses, increased operational costs, and safety concerns for employees and customers.

Harling detailed various strategies that retailers are employing to combat this issue, such as locking high-value items, verifying receipts at store exits, and using wheel-locking technology. Purchek® is one such innovative solution that disables cart wheels when unpaid merchandise attempts to leave the store, effectively deterring theft without confrontations. Harling emphasized the importance of integrating such technologies to maintain a secure shopping environment while leveraging advancements like artificial intelligence to enhance theft prevention and customer experience.
