WHAT KIND OF LOSS  PREVENTION SYSTEM IS RIGHT FOR YOUR STORE?  

Magen can help design a Loss Prevention system based on the nature of your products, the layout and architecture of your premises and on the other loss prevention facilities installed. 

How the system works

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) Systems employ a number of different technologies for theft prevention, but all systems apply a similar approach: any attempt to remove an article from the premises or to remove a tag from the article while on the premises, will trigger an alarm to alert the staff. Some systems will also render a stolen article useless to the thief, thus adding deterrence: even if the thief succeeds in removing the article from the premises, he or she will have gained nothing. Since shoplifting in these circumstances is both risky and unrewarding, it is reasoned that the rational thief will refrain from stealing. When a legal purchase is made, the tag or label is removed or deactivated by the staff, permitting honest customers to carry their purchases out of the store without setting off  an alarm.

Theft prevention devices are tags or labels with sensors, which may be attached to articles in a variety of ways depending on the size, shape, material and value of an article. Tags or labels may be disposable or reusable. In addition to the tag itself, the Loss Prevention system requires hardware: Detectors and Deactivators or Detachers.

False alarms

While you want to prevent theft, you also want to avoid false alarms that occur when a legitimate purchase sets off an alarm for whatever reason. An honest customer who has been embarrassed may refrain from visiting your store in the future. You want your system and the equipment to be reliable. Let Magen help you choose the most dependable and suitable system and install it for you. Magen has a long record of reliable service.
