Mitigating shoplifting losses is easier than you might think

U.S. retailers attribute approximately 33% of their company’s inventory shrinkage to shoplifting. The National Retail Security Survey report estimates that shoplifting cost American retailers a staggering $14.6 billion in 2012 alone.

Alvarado’s modular post and railing systems combined with our turnstiles and gates are inexpensive and effective tools to reduce theft and improve your bottom line. Our products allow you to create patron traffic flow patterns into and out of your store, and within your store, that channel entering patrons toward desirable merchandise areas, and exiting patrons toward check stands and other monitored areas. Customers are continually amazed at how our products both enhance store operations and reduce shrinkage.

Added Benefits:

  • Inexpensive and highly effective
  • Orderly patron flow and queuing
  • Ultimate design flexibility
  • Many alternative uses (e.g. cart corrals, gap fill around turnstiles)

Deter shoplifting by directing exiting traffic through checkout lanes.

The product is often used at store front entries in conjunction with Alvarado turnstiles and gates to control pedestrian and shopping cart access in grocery and retail stores.
