French retailer Carrefour is renewing its partnership with US firm Checkpoint Systems for the implementation of smart anti-theft technology.

Already 92 Carrefour hypermarkets are installed and connected with Checkpoint’s Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) 2.0 monitoring solution, which processes and retrieves sensitive information from the store in real time, enabling retailers to act efficiently and quickly.

The EAS 2.0 system connects security installations such as EAS antennas, deactivation, detection of metallic masses, fraudulent passage in closed boxes, emergency call buttons and video surveillance. The feedback / alerts are real-time on pager or smartphone, whether the operators are on-site or not.

The data collected is integrated into Carrefour's platform for the management of internal dashboards, the measurement of operational efficiency on each event and the profitability of security investments.

Carrefour is also deploying Checkpoint’s latest, connected innovations to prevent fraudulent pass-throughs in closed containers and to prevent warehouse entry alarms generated by customers with non-deactivated anti-theft protection devices. This solution is designed to improve the customer experience for honest shoppers and limit the alarms that would be emitted in-store and online checkout.

Jean-Luc Kaes of Checkpoint Systems, said: “Innovation and our customers are at the heart of our business. We are constantly working to develop solutions tailored to the new needs of the market.”
