Protect Your Brand, Shopper Experience and Sales with the CartControl® System

Shopping carts are the longest point of interaction between a customer and your brand. Once your shopping cart is removed from your location, the costs start piling up to a substantial drain on your revenue. Cart loss is widespread and expensive.

Totally unnoticed, our proven CartControl® solution stops carts from ever leaving a store’s premise (interior and/or outside), saving them from abandonment, damage, or city fines. Our solution keeps your shopping carts at your location, and available for your customers while vastly reducing unnecessary environmental waste, and store operational costs.

"Carts live a hard life full of difficult work, theft, and abuse. Once taken off your property, carts are likely damaged from improper use and exposure before they are retrieved at cost to your store. Cart retrieval and maintenance is a drain on store budgets."

    How Much Will You Save with the CartControl® Cart Retention Solution?

    Step 1: Cart Loss

    The Food Marketing Institute has reported that an approximately 2 million shopping carts are stolen each year. The motivations range from nearby condo and apartment dwellers walking their purchases home, to sophisticated theft rings exporting carts to other countries. No matter the reason for thefts, the cost is meaningful to retailers.

    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 applicalble.

    Conservative default numbers have been prepopulated for these values. Adjust the numbers to see scenarios based on different assumptions.
