What is EAS Security?
EAS Security is protection for your shop or retail chain and the word it self means Electronic Article Surveillance. An EAS Security system usually consists of EAS Antennas and EAS Tags or labels. These components signals to each other if they come too close. For instance if someone is trying to get a tagged item through the antennas, e.g. stealing it. Protecting your store with EAS Security is an easy way to decrease external shrinkage. The EAS antennas are in themselves deterrent for shoplifters and reports show that EAS Security systems can decrease external shrinkage with 50-90%.
Who has a need for EAS Security?
Everyone who has a brick and mortar store and has a problem with shrinkage could benefit from a EAS system. Today the worst shoplifting problem is organized groups that go in to stores and steal items in big quantities. But one shouldn´t underestimate the amateur shoplifting either. With an EAS Security system you can prevent a big part of that from happening to your store. For extra security you can choose to integrate metal detection into your system. This will give you a silent alarm if someone enters your store with a metal foiled bag. A metal foiled bag is something that organized shoplifters do to avoid the standard EAS Security systems.
