Sensormatic Essentials Helps Retailers Enhance Merchandise Protection, Maximize Shopper Convenience


 


 

The Galenas chain of convenience stores in Spain is switching to the Sensormatic Essentials anti-theft solution suite.Uniquely developed as one total-value solution, the Sensormatic Essentials solution suite from Tyco Retail Solutions offers smaller retail formats and independent local retailers optimal detection and reliable merchandise protection to address shoplifting and help preserve their bottom line. 

 

The eight La Gallega supermarkets in Rosario, Argentina recently switched to the Sensormatic Essentials anti-theft solution suite, which utilizes acousto-magnetic (AM) and bias resonator technology. AM technology offers food retailers like La Gallega the exit coverage they need and better detection for protecting their assortment of items in metal foil wrapping. Tags and labels featuring bias resonator technology offer more effective merchandise protection – even in the presence of such elements as metal, foil and liquids. 

 

The Sensormatic Essentials low-profile point-of-sale deactivator and easy-to-use detaching solution help keep La Gallega's customers moving quickly through the checkout process. Galenas, a leading chain of about 100 convenience stores located primarily at hospitals in Spain, also switched to Sensormatic Essentials. The chain offers a wide assortment of popular merchandise such as perfumes, stationery, flowers, electronics and food. Every year, the chain serves more than 9 million customers. 

 

Galenas chose the Sensormatic Essentials anti-theft system and Ultra•Exit pedestals to improve the effectiveness of its anti-theft solutions. “ADT’s solutions provide us with a protection system for items at our stores allowing us to considerably reduce the loss of income due to thefts,” says Antonio José Barea Gaona, managing director of Galenas. 

 

“Their characteristics and the coverage they provide allow us to establish wider entrances at the stores and, at the same time, to guarantee that the products are completely protected.” Sensormatic Essentials offers a wide range of labels that can be added to any kind of products, regardless of the way they are packaged or wrapped. 

 

The Sensormatic Ultra•Exit systems can detect non-deactivated labels at doors with a width of up to 2.4 meters. Ultra•Exit pedestals also include people-counting systems and alarm counters. These systems will be installed throughout all the Galenas stores. To date, ADT has already implemented the solution and removed the former protection systems from 10 stores. 

 

The Sensormatic Essentials solution suite is sold through ADT and authorized business partners around the world.
