EAS Overview
Shoplifters steal more than US$10 billion a year from U.S. retailers.
According to the University of Florida's 2003 National Retail Security Survey,
the average shoplifting dollar loss is US$265.30 per incident a significant increase over the previous year's average of US$207.18 per incident.
European retailers surveyed by the Centre for Retail Research for its European Retail Theft
Barometer see customer theft as their greatest security problem, accounting for 48% of their
total losses annually. Worldwide, shoplifting means lost sales, higher inventory costs,
and tighter margins all of which can be disastrous in today's increasingly competitive marketplace.
Fortunately, retailers CAN stop shoplifters and cut shrink.
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems have been proven to protect your merchandise against shoplifters.
Small security tags, applied to high-theft merchandise, alert retailers when shoplifters try to take stolen items
through electronic sensors at exit doors.

Recent studies highlight the scope of the shrinkage problem
Inventory shrinkage costs U.S. retailers $33.6 billion, according to the University of Florida
2003 National Retail Security Survey. Among the four sources of inventory shrinkage, retailers attributed
47% to employee theft, 32% to shoplifting, 15% to administrative error and 6% to vendor fraud. Shrinkage
costs Western European retailers ¤30 billion a year, with customer theft responsible for an estimated 48%
of those losses, reports the Centre for Retail Research. Effective measures taken to control shrinkage losses
can quickly pay for themselves.
With a Checkpoint RF-EAS system
Inventory is automatically protected against theft
- You can use open merchandising to increase sales with complete confidence
- Shoplifters are deterred from entering your store
- A comprehensive range of merchandise is secured
- POS scanning and security tag deactivation can be integrated
- RF deactivation eliminates time-consuming search for tags
- RF deactivation is safe for use with magnetic media
For more than 30 years, retailers have relied on Checkpoint Radio Frequency-Electronic Article Surveillance
(RF-EAS Systems) to protect their inventory. The flexible nature of RF technology allows us to continually
increase product functionality and performance. Today, RF security tags are smaller than ever. Integrated
scan/deactivation heights extend up to 15 inches above the POS scanner. Sensors incorporating digital signal
processing are able to detect tags of all sizes with tremendous precision. RF-EAS puts retailers on the logical
path toward RFID intelligent tagging, the next revolution in retail inventory management and control.
