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.
