Preventing shopping trolley theft is key to reducing the economic impact this entails, which translates into serious financial losses.
The retail security systems we develop at Carttec Group are designed to deliver a high return on investment, provide a pleasant shopping experience and reduce unnecessary environmental waste.
Preventing trolley theft is the solution for reducing the resulting economic losses
When a trolley leaves the premises, it is likely to be damaged through improper use. If it can be recovered, it will entail a cost for the company.
Recovering and maintaining trolleys is an extra on the budget, so making sure they don’t leave the perimeter of the shop is essential in the reduction of unnecessary financial losses.
Trolley theft is a widespread and costly problem that needs a specific solution.
CartControl: the best way to prevent trolley theft
At Carttec Group we have designed the perfect solution to prevent theft. CartControl unobtrusively prevents trolleys from leaving the shop premises, whether indoors or outdoors.
This system keeps shopping trolleys in place, available to customers, while reducing environmental waste and shop operating costs.
How does CartControl work?
- When the trolley crosses the locking area, the smart wheel stops rolling
- It does this by receiving a signal sent to it by the Central Transmitter via buried cables.
- These castors are designed for indoor and outdoor use, working on any type of surface.
In addition, to maximise the potential for loss prevention, CartControl can be combined with Purchek technology, which prevents the theft of trolley contents.
Benefits of CartControl
Preventing trolley theft is already a benefit in itself, but thanks to CartControl, the advantages are numerous:
- It keeps the trolley within the perimeter of the premises to prevent theft.
- Workers do not have to invest their time in locating and retrieving trolleys.
- Replacement costs for stolen trolleys are avoided.
- The CO2 footprint is reduced, as the trolleys do not end up in landfills and scrap yards before their time.
- It improves the customer’s shopping experience by facilitating investment in more developed trolleys.
- It avoids the unpleasant confrontation between shop staff and the shoplifter.
- The wheels are automatically unlocked when the trolley returns to the perimeter.
