How Purchek Technology Works
Purchek technology is a fully automated, cart-behavior based system. It prevents goods in carts from leaving the store location unless they meet the criteria for exit. Without authorization, the wheels will lock at the exit, an alarm sounds, and a video event is triggered. This often results in the thief leaving empty-handed, without incident or confrontation.
Leverage your fleet of shopping carts as a large-scale shoplifting prevent system, ensuring security without disrupting paying customers.
Beyond theft prevention, Purchek technology provides valuable insights into in-store theft patterns, helping retailers refine security strategies and validate ROI.
