Stop Trolley Pushout Theft in Its Tracks with the Gatekeeper Purchek System
How Gatekeeper Works
Gatekeeper's Purchek® system employs a technology called SmartWheel® to prevent trolley push-out theft. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
Entry: When a shopper enters the store, the SmartWheel® on their trolley receives an entry permission signal, allowing them to shop freely.
-
Purchase: A customer who completes their purchase has their SmartWheel® granted exit permission at the point of sale (POS). The trolley can now leave the store.
-
Attempted Theft: If a thief tries to exit without paying, the SmartWheel® doesn't receive exit permission and locks the trolley wheels.
-
Alarm and Notification: The locked wheels trigger an alarm, alerting staff. Simultaneously, the system captures video footage of the incident and sends an electronic notification to loss prevention personnel.
