- The real problem of stores nowadays.
The self service store is a perfect solution to attract the biggest number of clients and to give them the opportunity to try out the product. It improves the presentation of goods and, therefore, facilitates and increases sales. But however, in parallel with all the advantages of the “self service” system, the stores suffer from a very serious problem which is costing more and more expensive every year: the shoplifting.
For example, in 2011 the UK and Italian stores lost near 1.37% of the turnover, Spanish stores – 1.40% and German ones – 1.20% ($48.615 for Europe). The American stores lost 1.59% (near $45.321). Unfortunately, these figures are tending to increase every year! If we consider the situation in the world, the figure is $119 billion. The countries with the highest theft rate are India, Russia, Morocco, Brazil and so on.
There are 3 distribution sectors which are highly vulnerable: textile, food, electronic and electrical. They count the largest number of shoplifting.
- The weakness of the classical tags.
The issue of the nowadays anti-theft systems is in the accessories (anti-theft tags for cloths, leather goods, shoes, glasses and so on) that we see on the protected product. The anti-theft mechanism of these tags works too simply and it has been never improved, so today more and more people are aware about its functioning.
For instance, a simple search on Google could teach you how to remove a textile tag and how it functions. There is such an abundance of the web sites which show you pictures and videos how to open the anti-theft tag with a special detacher, magnet or hook in some seconds. In such a way anybody could find these famous detachers (even the most powerful ones), magnets or hooks which are offered by professionals and private sellers on free sale on the Internet.
As a result, the tags don’t fulfill their major role today which is mainly to protect the stores against the shoplifting. Given that the Internet facilitates the access to this information, this phenomenon will continue to increase inevitably the worldwide.
