Shrinkage found at month end
By the time a count reveals the gap, the footage window has usually closed and nobody can say which unit walked.
Retail & loss prevention
RFID anti-theft for high-value retail
Every unit carries a tag whose status only changes when the sale is authorized, so an item leaving the floor unpaid is a detected event rather than a discovery at stocktake.
Not yet deployed. This is being built, and this page describes how it is designed to work rather than a system you can go and look at today. If you need something already running on a live site, say so and we will point you at what is.
Where it hurts today
The problem this is built for
Staff watching instead of selling
Floor coverage on high-value gadgets pulls people away from the work that earns.
Sensor tags that annoy honest customers
Traditional detection tags treat every shopper the same and say nothing about which item triggered the alarm.
No link between the alarm and the sale
Without a tie to the point of sale, an exit alarm cannot tell a theft from a paid item.
How it works
Four steps, in this order
- 01
Register the tag to the unit
Each product gets an RFID tag with a unique ID, bound to that specific unit at receiving and written at a desktop encoder.
- 02
Monitor the floor
Ceiling readers keep visibility of tagged stock, so the system knows what is on the floor and where.
- 03
Authorize at the point of sale
When payment succeeds, the POS calls the RFID system by API and the tag status moves from active to sold.
- 04
Alarm only on an active tag
An exit attempt carrying a still-active tag triggers the alarm, and the event names the item rather than just making noise.
What gets installed
Hardware and software
- Ceiling-mounted UHF readers and antennas
- Exit portal or pedestal
- Desktop encoder for tag commissioning
- Anti-metal and asset tags
- RFID middleware and POS API integration
Exact models are specified against your site. Read range, tag material and mounting all change the answer.
What you get back
Outcomes
- An exit event tied to a named item, not a general alarm
- Stock accuracy as a by-product of the same tags
- Floor staff selling instead of guarding
- A loss figure that is measured rather than inferred
