Real-Time Mobile App Available for
Smartphones or Tablets
Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CKP), a leading global supplier
of merchandise availability solutions for the retail industry,
today announced EVOLVE-Store, a real-time app for smartphones and
tablets that supports real-time electronic article surveillance
(EAS) and organized retail crime (ORC) event management.
The app was developed in response to retail customer requests
for an easy means of ensuring that store associates leverage EAS
investments appropriately, comply with store shoplifting policies
and have EAS systems always turned on and operating properly.
Some of the popular features in the EVOLVE-Store app enable
retailers to measure and improve consumer conversion rates through
real-time visibility of the number of shoppers in stores. The app
also measures policy compliance by managing response times to alarm
events. By monitoring, measuring and managing an EAS program,
retailers can deter opportunistic shoplifters and ORC activity,
reducing shrink and increasing shelf availability, sales and
profits. This, in turn, improves staff confidence and engagement
with the EAS program, ensuring a significant improvement on the
return on investment.
Additional popular features include a staff panic alert to
request help from associates; an EAS night-save feature to save
power when the store is closed; the ability to test, mute or
disable EAS systems remotely; and multi-user logins for each smart
device.
Beyond retailer advantages, shoppers benefit because stores can
monitor inventory more closely and replenish “true” out-of-stocks,
so merchandise they seek will likely be available on shelves when
purchasing online through click and collect, or buying directly in
stores. Moreover, studies have shown that shoppers feel safer in
monitored retail environments.
“Technology should make life easier for both consumers and
retailers,” said Uwe Sydon, Senior Vice President of Innovation,
Checkpoint Systems. “EVOLVE-Store accomplishes this, with simple
implementation and proven loss prevention and merchandise
availability benefits that offer advantages to everyone.”
EVOLVE-Store is available immediately.
